The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to _______ meters per second squared.

1 answer:

5 0

I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to 9.8 meters per second squared. You can see that all things fall at this rate if there is no air resistance in a system or when in a vacuum.

Work out the following a) Find β = v/c for a person walking at 3 mile/hr and a truck moving at 65 mile/hr. (b) Find γ-1, where γ

balu736 [363]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the person, v = 3 mile/hr = 1.34 m/s

Speed of the truck, v' = 65 mile/hr = 29.05 m/s

(a) Since, $\beta =\dfrac{v}{c}$

For the person, $\beta =\dfrac{1.34}{3\times 10^8}=4.47\times 10^{-9}$

For the truck, $\beta =\dfrac{29.05}{3\times 10^8}=9.68\times 10^{-8}$

(b) The relativistic factor is given by :

$\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\beta^2}}$

For very small velocity, $\beta$

$\gamma=(1-\beta ^2)^{-1/2}\approx 1+\dfrac{1}{2}\beta ^2$

$\gamma-1=\dfrac{\beta^2}{2}$

For the person :

$\gamma-1=\dfrac{(4.47\times 10^{-9})^2}{2}=9.99\times 10^{-18}$

For the person :

$\gamma-1=\dfrac{(9.68\times 10^{-8})^2}{2}=4.68\times 10^{-15}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

grandymaker [24]

Effect of temperature.

"If the temperature of the substance is increased then the rate of chemical reaction is also increased because the kinetic energy is greater."

Effect of surface area.

"If the surface area is increased then the rate of reaction is increased because there will be more active sites for the reaction to occur.
