Explanation:
It is given that,
A nerve signal travels 150 meters per second. It is the speed of the nerve signal. We need to convert the number of kilometers that the nerve signal will travel in the same time.
We know that,
1 kilometer = 1000 meter
1 hour = 3600 seconds
So, the nerve signal will travel at the rate of 540 km/h. Hence, this is the required solution.
Acceleration is a change in speed and/or direction
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity, mathematically:
where
is the change in velocity
is the time taken for the velocity of the object to change
We notice that velocity is a vector quantity, so it consists of:
- A magnitude, which is called speed
- A direction
Since acceleration is the rate of change in velocity, this means that the acceleration is non-zero whenever is non-zero, which means that either the speed AND/OR the direction of the velocity is changing.
For instance:
- For an object which is speeding up along a straight line, the speed is changing but the direction is not --> still, the object is accelerating
- For an object moving in a uniform circular motion, the speed is constant while the direction is changing --> still, the object is accelerating
So the correct answer is
a change in speed and/or direction
