Which statement best explains acceleration?

Physics

Acceleration is just how fast velocity is changing in a certain time. Simply subtract the final velocity from initial velocity, then take that number and divide that by the change in time. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's the same formula you use to find the slope of a line. If you've done calculus, it's finding the secant line, which means you've found the average acceleration using the (change in v)/(change in t). If you need the instantaneous acceleration, you need to take the derivative of your function at a certain time(also calculus.) ignore the last two sentences if you haven't taken calc1

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.

Statement A is greater than statement B.

b) Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km

Statement A is equal to statement B

Explanation:

a) Statement A : 2.567km to two significant figures.

2.567km 2. S.F = 2.6km

Statement B : 2.567km to three significant figures.

2.567km 3 S.F = 2.57km

Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.

Statement A is greater than statement B.

b) statement A: (2.567 km + 3.146km) to 2 S.F

(2.567km + 3.146km) = 5.713km to 2 S.F = 5.7km

Statement B : (2.567 km, to two significant figures) + (3.146 km, to two significant figures).

2.567km to 2 S.F = 2.6km

3.146km to 2 S.F = 3.1km

2.6km + 3.1km = 5.7km

Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km

Statement A is equal to statement B

marta [7]

Answer: hello question b is incomplete attached below is the missing question

a) attached below

b) V = 0.336 ft/s

Explanation:

Elongation ( Xo)  = 16/ 7 feet

mass attached to 4-foot spring = 16 pounds

medium has 9/2 times instanteous velocity

<u>a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s</u>

The motion is an underdamped motion because the value of β < Wo

Wo = 3.741 s^-1

attached below is a detailed solution of the question

What is the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 hz?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

T = 0.003 s

(Period is written as T)

Explanation:

Period = time it takes for one wave to pass (measured in seconds)

frequency = number of cycles that occur in 1 second

(measured in Hz / hertz / 1 second)

Period : T

frequency : f

So, if we know that the frequency of a wave is 300 Hz, we can find the period of the wave from the relation between frequency and period

T =  \frac{1}{f}    f = \frac{1}{T}

to find the period (T) of this wave, we need to plug in the frequency (f) of 300

T = \frac{1}{300}

T = 0.00333333333

So, the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 Hz is 0.003 s

[the period/T of this wave is 0.003 s]
