I think it is m/s/s or miles/hr/min

Km/h² or m/s/s are the appropriate units of the acceleration.

Acceleration is the rate change of velocity of an object. it is given by

a=ΔV/Δt

Δv= change in speed

Δt= time taken

Δv is measured in meter of km

Time is measured in second s or hour h

so the units of acceleration are km/h² or m/s/s

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the objects ____or ____ depends on the size and direction of the force

timama [110]

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the object state of rest or motion depends on the size and direction of the force.

If a body is at state of rest or motion, when an unbalanced external force acts on it, its starts moving in the direction of force and magnitude of its velocity or acceleration depends on the magnitude of force applied.

A student throws a rock horizontally from the edge of a cliff that is 20 m high. The rock has an initial speed on 10 m/s. If air

fiasKO [112]

The distance of the rock from the base of the cliff is C) 20 m

Explanation:

The motion of the rock in this problem is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

We start by analyzing the vertical motion to find the time of flight of the rock (the time it takes to reach the ground). We can do it by using the suvat equation:

$s=u_y t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where, taking downward as positive direction,

s = 20 m is the vertical displacement of the rock

$u_y=0$ is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time of flight

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t,

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20)}{9.8}}=2.02 s$

Now we can analzye the horizontal motion: the rock moves horizontally with a constant velocity of

$v_x = 10 m/s$

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered after a time t is

$d=v_x t$

and substituting t = 2.02 s, we find the final distance of the rock from the base of the cliff:

$d=(10)(2.02)=20 m$

Sound waves are a- Transverse b- Longitudinal c- Transverse and longitudinal

Katen [24]

Answer:

Sound waves are longitudinal in nature.

Explanation:

There are many types of waves like transverse, longitudinal, electromagnetic wave etc.

Sound waves are longitudinal in nature. In longitudinal type of wave, the medium particles moves parallel to the propagation of the wave. This type of waves move in the form of compression and rarefaction.

In compression, the particle density at a point is very less while in rarefaction, the particle density at a point is very high.

So, the correct option is (b) "longitudinal wave".
