What is a unit of acceleration? a. m/s b. m/s2 c. m2/s d. kg-m/s2

1 answer:

3 0

A). m/s ... meters per second.
   That's a speed.

b). m/s² ... (meters per second) per second.
   Acceleration.

c). m²/s ... square meters per second.
   Rate of change of area.
   Meaningless unit, unless you happen to be
   a painter of houses or a mower of lawns.

d). kg-m/s² ... (mass) x (an acceleration).
      This is a unit of force.
   In fact, it's the definition of "newton".

Briefly explain the two postulates of relativity, how they differed from classical physics, and why Einstein was led to propose

Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The two postulates of special theory of relativity

Postulate 1: The law of physics are invariant under any of inertial frame of reference.

Postulate 2: The velocity of light is remains same in each ans every frame of reference and independent of relativity.

They are differ from classical mechanics that in classical mechanics there is no change in mass and length in relative velocity but in relativistic mechanics it changes.

These two postulates implements in phenomenon like time dilation , length contraction etc.

The fixed hydraulic cylinder C imparts a constant upward velocity v = 2.2 m/s to the collar B, which slips freely on rod OA. Det

Olenka [21]

Answer:

so angular velocity is 7.13128 sec−1

Explanation:

velocity v = 2.2 m/s

displacement s = 220 mm = 0.220 m

distance d = 510 mm = 0.510 m

to find out

angular velocity

solution

we know that

angular velocity will be velocity ( v) / (displacement² + distance²) .....1

now put all these value in equation 1 and we get angular velocity i.e.

angular velocity = velocity ( v) / (displacement² + distance²)

angular velocity = 2.2 / (0.22² + 0.51²)

angular velocity = 2.2 / 0.3085

angular velocity = 7.13128

so angular velocity is 7.13128 sec−1

A particle on a spring moves in simple harmonic motion along the x axis between turning points at x1 = 95 cm and x2 = 135 cm. (i

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

(i) $x = 115\,cm$ , (ii) $x = 95\,cm$ , (iii) $x = 95\,cm$

Explanation:

(i) $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ represent the points where particle has a velocity of zero and spring reach maximum deformation, Given the absence of non-conservative force and by the Principle of Energy Conservation, the position where particle is at maximum speed is average of both extreme positions:

$x = 115\,cm$

(ii) Maximum accelerations is reached at $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ .

$x = 95\,cm$

(iii) Greatest net forces exerted on the particle are reached at $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ .

$x = 95\,cm$

Which evidence did Alfred Wegener’s original theory of continental drift have access to?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Evidence for continental drift

Wegener knew that fossil plants and animals such as mesosaurs, a freshwater reptile found only South America and Africa during the Permian period, could be found on many continents. He also matched up rocks on either side of the Atlantic Ocean like puzzle pieces.

A student says that a speed of 50 m/s is faster than a speed of 140 km/h because the number is bigger. What would you say to the

ladessa [460]

The units are not consistent - 1 m/s is not the same as 1 km/h.

First thing to do would be to convert from one unit of speed to the other, say km/h to m/s. There are 1000 meters (m) for every kilometer (km) and 3600 seconds (s) for every hour (h), so

$1\,\dfrac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm h}\cdot\dfrac{10^3\,\mathrm m}{\mathrm{km}}\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm h}{3600\,\mathrm s}\approx0.278\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

So in fact 1 km/h is about 4 times slower than 1 m/s.
