- We know, acceleration is the change of velocity by time.
- Velocity is the speed of an object which also indicates the direction.
- Hence, acceleration is both dependant upon the speed as well as the direction.
- So, if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration will also change. It will not be zero.
- An example is that of uniform circular motion.
Answer:
if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration of the object will not be zero.
The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward.
Answer:
The acceleration is 1 cm/s^2.
Explanation:
The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
Here, initial velocity, u = 3/1 = 3 cm/s
final velocity, v = 4/1 = 4 cm/s
time, t = 1 s
Let the acceleration is a.
Use first equation of motion
v = u + at
4 = 3 + 1 x a
a = 1 cm/s^2
