What is acceleration measured in?

Physics

Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of units, dividing meters per second [m/s] by second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared.





This I what it showed when I looked it up so if your writing this down try and put some in your own words

Acceleration is measured in (distance) per (unit of time) squared; for example, feet/second squared. in the SI (metric) system the official unit is metres/second/second or metres/(second squared).

Two identical 0.400 kg masses are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75 N/cm, compressing the s
nlexa [21]

Answer:

0.853 m/s

Explanation:

Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.

1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2

Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)

v = 0.39[2.1875]

v = 0.853 m/s

Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s

Which of the following represents the wavelength of a wave?
dlinn [17]

Answer: D. the distance between the highest points of consecutive waves

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is defined as the <em>distance traveled by a periodic perturbation that propagates through a medium in a given time interval</em>. It is usually represented by \lambda and can be calculated if the frequency of the wave is known, since there is an inverse relationship between both.

In the specific case of a periodic sine wave (which is the way in which a wave is usually represented graphically) the wavelength can be determined as the distance between two consecutive maxima of the disturbance.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

3.9 × 10^7 J

Explanation:

Given that a tank is is half full of oil that has a density of 900 kg/m3. Find the work W required to pump the oil out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g. Assume r = 15 m and h = 5 m.) W = 1.59 J

Solution

Since the tank is half full, the height = 2.5m

Pressure = density × gravity × height

Pressure = 900 × 9.8 × 2.5

Pressure = 22050 Pascal

The cross sectional area of the pump will be area of a circle.

A = πr^2

A = π × 15^2

A = 706.858 m^2

Using the formula

Density = mass/volume

Mass = density × volume

Mass = 900 × 706.86 × 2.5

Mass = 1590.435

Energy = mgh

Energy = 1590.435 × 9.8 × 2.5

Energy = 38965657.8 J

Since the work done = energy

Therefore, the work done = 3.9 × 10^7 J
