Why does the unit of time enter twice in the unit of acceleration?

1 answer:

8 0

Acceleration is the measurement that describes the rate of the changing the speed of the object. Mathematically, that is a = s / t
where a is acceleration, s is speed and t is time. Further, speed is the rate of changing the distance, s = d / t
With this, the unit of time is entered twice in the equation.

Anna [14]

Answer: a= 37m

Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t

15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m

There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m

Answer:

$variables - d = 200m \: v = 10 m {s}^{ - 1} \\ equation \: - v = \frac{d}{t} \\ 10 = \frac{200}{t} \\ cross \: multiply \\ 10t = 200 \\ \frac{10t}{10} = \frac{200}{10} \\ t = 20s$
