Yes, acceleration only tells you how velocity is changing. It doesn't say anything about what velocity is at any given time.

For example, if you set your car to cruise control on the highway going 80 mph. That is a constant high velocity, yet the car has 0 acceleration.

The opposite is also true. After a red light turns green, you put foot on the gas to accelerate. However, your velocity is initially low even though it has high acceleration.

Of course !

A passenger jet, cruising at 37,000 feet on its way to California,
keeping a constant airspeed and flying in a straight line, can have
a velocity of 500 miles per hour west, but its acceleration is zero !

Answer:

An accelerometer is a tool that measures proper acceleration.[1] Proper acceleration is the acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) of a body in its own instantaneous rest frame;[2] this is different from coordinate acceleration, which is acceleration in a fixed coordinate system. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration due to Earth's gravity, straight upwards[3] (by definition) of g ≈ 9.81 m/s2. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall (falling toward the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.81 m/s2) will measure zero.

Accelerometers have many uses in industry and science. Highly sensitive accelerometers are used in inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. Vibration in rotating machines is monitored by accelerometers. They are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so that images on screens are always displayed upright. In unmanned aerial vehicles, accelerometers help to stabilise flight.

When two or more accelerometers are coordinated with one another, they can measure differences in proper acceleration, particularly gravity, over their separation in space—that is, the gradient of the gravitational field. Gravity gradiometry is useful because absolute gravity is a weak effect and depends on the local density of the Earth, which is quite variable.

Single- and multi-axis accelerometers can detect both the magnitude and the direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation (because the direction of weight changes), coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium (a case in which the proper acceleration changes, increasing from zero). Micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video-game controllers, to detect changes in the positions of these devices.

A soccer player pumps air into a soccer ball until no more air can be pushed inside. Describe the air inside the soccer ball com
inessss [21]

Answer:

the filling stops when the pressure of the pump equals the pressure of the interior air plus the pressure of the walls.

Explanation:

This exercise asks to describe the inflation situation of a spherical fultball.

Initially the balloon is deflated, therefore the internal pressure is equal to the pressure of the air outside, atmospheric pressure, when it begins to inflate the balloon with a pump this creates a pressure in the inlet valve and as it is greater than the pressure inside, the air enters it, this is repeated in each filling cycle, manual pump.

When the ball is full we have two forces, the one created by the external walls and the one aired by the pressure of the pump, these forces are directed towards the inside, but the air molecules exert a pressure towards the outside, which translates into a force. When these two forces are equal, the pump is no longer able to continue introducing air into the balloon.

Consequently the filling stops when the pressure of the pump equals the pressure of the interior air plus the pressure of the walls.
