What is Acceleration?

Physics
2 answers:
Novosadov [1.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. Thus when the velocity ( direction or magnitude) of an object changes, we say that the particle is accelerating. Mathematically it is written as

a= \frac{dv}{dt}

The units of acceleration are m/s²

Acceleration can be positive or negative. If the velocity of an object increases, we call that as positive acceleration and if the velocity of an object decreases, we call that as the negative acceleration.

Acceleration is a change in velocity over time. Acceleration can be either an increase of a decrease. Negative acceleration is sometimes called deceleration.

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 150 g of oxygen from -30c to -15c?
Naddika [18.5K]
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cs is its specific heat capacity
\Delta T is the increase in temperature

For oxygen, the specific heat capacity is approximately 
C_s = 0.92 J/(g K)
The variation of temperature for the sample in our problem is 
\Delta T= -15^{\circ}C-(-30^{\circ} C)=+15^{\circ}C=15 K
while the mass is m=150 g, so the amount of heat needed is
Q=m C_s \Delta T=(150 g)(0.92 J/g K)(15 K)=2070 J

The main purpose of a service panel in a house is to A. keep the meter working correctly. B. connect the service drop to the hou
cricket20 [7]
I think the best answer would be the last option. The main purpose of a service panel in a house is to keep electrical hazards localized. Service panels are used to identify circuit loads and isolate these loads so when  you want to check the equipment you can easily identify the line. Also, it would serve as the isolation point to avoid any electrical hazards.

Which BEST describes the physical properties of the Earth’s core?
Sonja [21]

C) a solid lower part and a liquid upper part

Explanation:

The physical nature of the earth's core is made up of a solid lower part and a liquid upper part.

The core is the innermost part of the earth and it is made up of metallic minerals.

  • It has the highest temperature and pressure of all the layers of the earth.
  • The core is divided into two. Outer and inner core.
  • Outer core is made up of molten metallic minerals. It is the layer where the earth geomagnetic field originates.
  • The inner core is solid metallic ball.
  • Evidence from seismic waves has furnished geoscientists with this knowledge.
