Answer:

it is the rate of change of velocity

Explanation:

so, velocity= change in velocity/ change in time

Answer:

Since acceleration is the change in velocity over time, we need to find both the difference in velocity as well as the duration of time.

The change in time in the formula is so that we can obtain the duration of time in which the object accelerate.

Let's say the question wants you to find the acceleration of a car from t=2s to t=5s. The time (denominator of formula) cannot be 2 or 5 since that is not the whole duration of the acceleration we are trying to find. So to find the duration, we take 5-2= 3s, which is essentially the change in time.

The radius of the circle traced out by the second hand on a clock is 6.00 cm. In a time t the tip of the second hand moves throu

quester [9]

Answer:

30.29 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius=r=6 cm

Length of an arc=l=19 cm

We have to find the value of t in seconds.

$\theta=\frac{l}{r}$

Substitute the values then we get

$\theta=\frac{19}{6}=3.17 rad$

We know that

1 minute=60 seconds

In 60 seconds ,second hand makes an angle= $2\pi$ radian

$2\pi$ radian made by second had in 60 sec.

1 radian made by second hand in $\frac{60}{2\pi}$ sec

3.17 rad made by second hand in $\frac{60}{2\pi}\times 3.17=\frac{60}{2\times 3.14}\times 3.17=30.29 s$

Hence, the value of t =30.29 s

In a mass spectrometer a particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V and allowed to enter a

Ghella [55]

Answer:

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Explanation:

If v be the velocity after acceleration under potential difference of V

kinetic energy = loss of electric potential energy

1/2 m v² = Vq ,

v² = 2 Vq / m ----------------------- ( 1 )

In magnetic field , charged particle comes in circular motion in which magnetic force provides centripetal force

magnetic force = centripetal force

Bqv = mv² / R

v = BqR / m

v² = B²q²R² / m² ------------------------- (2)

from (1) and (2)

B²q²R² / m² = 2 Vq / m

m = B²q²R² / 2 Vq

m = B²qR² / 2 V
