Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by

Physics
1 answer:
denpristay [2]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Time elapsed

Explanation:

Acceleration is a vector quantity. It is defined as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). It must be noticed that acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction. In particular:

- when acceleration is negative, it means that the object is slowing down, so acceleration is in opposite direction to the velocity

- when acceleration is positive, it means that the object is speeding up, so acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity

A projectile is launched with an initial velocity 60m/s at an angle 60° to the vertical. What the magnitude of it's displacement
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

the magnitude of the displacement after 5s is 137.31 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the projectile, u = 60 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 60°

time of motion, t = 5s

the vertical component of the velocity, u_y= u\ sin \theta = 60sin(60^0)

The magnitude of the displacement after 5s is calculated as;

h = u_yt -\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 60sin (60^0)\times 5 - \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(5)^2\\\\h = 259.81-122.5\\\\h = 137.31 \ m

Therefore, the magnitude of the displacement after 5s is 137.31 m.

Which nanotechnology product would most likely help the
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: OLEDs

Explanation:

The nanotechnology uses the surface of the carbon materials to generate the electricity. The evaporation of water on the surface of carbon materials helps in generation of electrical energy due to generation of thermal energy.

OLEDs can be defined as solid-state devices that comprises of organic molecules like carbon that will create electricity by exposing a surface for generation of thermal energy.

Why is the specific heat capacity of the human body close to, but somewhat less than, that of water?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Because most of the human body (about 70% of it) consists of water

Explanation:

The main reason why the specific heat capacity of the human body is very close to that of water is that water makes approximately 70% of the substances of which the human body consists. However, the human body has a slightly smaller specific heat capacity than water, because it contains also other elements/substances, and since water is one of the substances with the higher specific heat capacity at all, the specific heat capacity of the body is a bit smaller.

Two ice skaters stand together. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.35 m/s
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

-0.55m/s

Explanation:

Given that: For the boy

Weight = 745N

Velocity = +0.35 m/s

Mass of the boy = ?

g = 9.81m/s^2

W = mg

745 = m×9.81

m = 75.94kg

For the girl

Given that:

Weight = 477 N

g = 9.81m/s^2

m = ?

W = mg

477 = m×9.81m/s^2

m = 48.62kg

To solve for the v of the girl, the two has to add up

48.62kg×v + 75.94kg×+0.35 m/s = 0

48.62v + 26.579 = 0

48.62v = - 26.579

v = -26.579/48.62

v = -0.5466

v = -0.55m/s

Hence, the velocity of the girl is -0.55m/s.

The negative sign is as a result of the two of them moving is opposite direction.
