Answer:
A) Its density will decrease
Explanation:
When an object is heated, its volume increases. This is due to the fact that the particles in the medium vibrate more (if it is a solid) or they move more (if it is a liquid or a gas), therefore they tend to occupy a larger space.
At the same time, the mass of the object does not change, because the mass just represents the amount of matter contained in the object, so it does not increase/decrease at different temperatures.
The density of an object is defined as the ratio between the mass (m) and the volume (V):
We said that the mass remains unchanged while the volume increases: since the density is inversely proportional to the volume, this means that the density decreases.
The first thing you should know is that acceleration is a vector, therefore, it has magnitude, and direction.
By definition, we have that the vector acceleration is given by:
Where,
dv/dt: derived from the velocity vector with respect to time,
Therefore, the units of the vector acceleration are:
The symbol of acceleration is:
Answer:
The statements about acceleration that are true are:
a. the si units of acceleration are m/s2.
b. for acceleration, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
d. the symbol for acceleration is (True, only if the symbol is the same as above)
