What is the equation for finding the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?

Physics
1 answer:
lapo4ka [179]3 years ago
5 0

The equations to find the acceleration are the suvat equations:

v=u+at\\s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2\\v^2-u^2=2as\\s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate if change in velocity of the object. It is calculated as

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

For an object moving in a straight line at constant acceleration, there are several equations that can be used to find the acceleration: they are called suvat equations. They are the following:

v=u+at\\s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2\\v^2-u^2=2as\\s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time

s is the distance covered

a is the acceleration

Therefore, any of the above equations can be used to  calculate the acceleration.

Which object will have the most potential energy?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:  the most potential energy ==  5 kg book, 2 m from the ground= 98 Joules

Explanation:

potential energy = m g h

m = mass

g = acceleration due gravity  = 9.8 m/s²

h = distance above  ground

1.  Pe₁ = 1 kg x 2 m x g  = 2 g

2. Pe₂ = 5 kg x 2 m x g = 10 g = 10 kg m x 9,8 m/s² = 98 Joules

3. Pe₃ = 1 kg x 0,5 m x g = 0,5 g

4. Pe₄ = 5 kg x 0.5 m x g = 2,5 g  

10 > 2,5 > 2 >0,5

Consider a concave spherical mirr or that has focal length f = +19.5 cm.
lidiya [134]

The distance of an object from the mirror's vertex if the image is real and has the same height as the object is 39 cm.

<h3>What is concave mirror?</h3>

A concave mirror has a reflective surface that is curved inward and away from the light source.

Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point and it usually form real and virtual images.

<h3>Object distance of the concave mirror</h3>

Apply mirrors formula as shown below;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

where;

  • f is the focal length of the mirror
  • v is the object distance
  • u is the image distance

when image height = object height, magnification = 1

u/v = 1

v = u

Substitute the given parameters and solve for the distance of the object from the mirror's vertex

1/f = 1/v + 1/v

1/f = 2/v

v = 2f

v = 2(19.5 cm)

v = 39 cm

Thus, the distance of an object from the mirror's vertex if the image is real and has the same height as the object is 39 cm.

Why is a flask is wider on the bottom than on the top? allows for a more precise measurement allows for better thermal equilibri
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

allows for better thermal equilibrium

Explanation:

Due to the cone shape, most of the liquid will be closer to the bottom than the top.  The large surface area of the bottom allows for faster heating.

Is there a definite end to our atmosphere?
Irina18 [472]
There is no definite end to earths atmosphere, but technically the border between the outer space and earth gets thinner as you move up from the earths surface. The Karman line is the closest definition there is which describes the end of the earth's atmosphere, it is 100 km above earth's sea level at approximately 1.56 % of total earth's radius. This describes the boundary between the outer space and the atmosphere.
