"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up. It also doesn't mean
slowing down. Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.
The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.
Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.
A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):
-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun
Explanation:
<em>"The accuracy of a potentiometer can be increased by decreasing the potential gradient across the potentiometer wire, and this can be achieved by increasing the length"</em>
<em />
<u>The factors that are affecting/limiting the accuracy of the potentiometer are:
</u>
-
The specific resistance of the material of the potentiometer wire.
- The potential gradient
- The current passing through the potentiometer wire.
- Area of a cross-section of the wire
- Internal temperature.
<u>The objective of reversing the terminals of the cell</u>
If the jockey of the potentiometer is pressed for a long time, joule heating sets in, so that reversing the terminals of the potentiometer will prevent the resistance due to joule heat from being added to the measured resistance, ultimately preventing unwanted resistance
Answer:
A. Wegener could not explain what made the continents move.
Explanation:
Both F's are forces, so µ must be unitless/dimensionless.
F[friction] = µ F[normal]
Or, more explicitly in terms of the units:
(Newtons) = (constant) (Newtons)
