What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration

1 answer:

3 0

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.

Potential energy is

azamat

Answer:

stored in a state of readiness.

Explanation:

Potential energy is stored in a state of readiness.

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

$P.E = mgh$

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

What is the force that opposes motion and works against the downward pull? A) friction B) gravity C) weight D) acceleration

charle [14.2K]

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it is A Friction. because gravity pulls down, weight isn't a force, and acceleration doesn't oppose motion

The traffic engineer for a large city is conducting a study on traffic flow at a certain intersection near the city administrati

densk [106]

Answer:

Minutes can provide us the continuous data as we can have the values between the two minutes, in fraction. So if we consider minutes there will be a complete continuous data for the analysis. However the number of cars, trucks, pedestrians, bicyclists, food trucks etc will be in integers as they can not be described in terms of fractions. So for continuous data option (E) is correct.

The number of minutes for a car to get from the intersection to the administration building.
