By definition, acceleration is (5 Points)

Physics

Dovator [93]3 years ago

Acceleration is a change in speed and/or direction

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity, mathematically:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time taken for the velocity of the object to change

We notice that velocity is a vector quantity, so it consists of:

- A magnitude, which is called speed

- A direction

Since acceleration is the rate of change in velocity, this means that the acceleration is non-zero whenever \Delta v is non-zero, which means that either the speed AND/OR the direction of the velocity is changing.

For instance:

- For an object which is speeding up along a straight line, the speed is changing but the direction is not --> still, the object is accelerating

- For an object moving in a uniform circular motion, the speed is constant while the direction is changing --> still, the object is accelerating

So the correct answer is

a change in speed and/or direction

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

Given:

Mass of body = 30 kg

gravitational acceleration on the moon = 1.62 m/s

2

Weight of the body on the moon = Mass of the body×gravitational acceleration on the moon=30×1.62=48 N

What is one way you are using nonrenewable resources?
lutik1710 [3]

Putting gas in your car is one way you are using non-renewable resources.

You could Reduce, Recycle and Re-use items. You could manage what you do with you're water. Reducing and reusing products cuts down on manufacturing pollution, just as the use of recycled instead of virgin materials prevents pollution in industrial processes. You could add food coloring to your toilet tank. You could also do this: use sprinkler heads that sprinkle mist out instead of droplets of water.  to avoid losing water to evaporation.

A thin coil has 17 rectangular turns of wire. When a current of 4 A runs through the coil, there is a total flux of 5 ✕ 10−3 T ·
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Inductance, L = 0.0212 Henries

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 17

Current through the coil, I = 4 A

The total flux enclosed by the one turn of the coil, \phi=5\times 10^{-3}\ Tm^2

The relation between the self inductance and the magnetic flux is given by :

L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}

L=\dfrac{17\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{4}

L = 0.0212 Henries

So, the inductance of the coil is 0.0212 Henries. Hence, this is the required solution.

Solve for the BMI weight 58kg Height 1.61​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

BMI= weight/(height × height)          ; weight in kilogram and height in metter

     = 58kg / (1.61m  × 1.61m )

     = (58/ 2.5921) kg/m^{2}

     = 22.375  kg/m^{2}

     ≈ 22.4 kg/m^{2}
