Why is acceleration measured in meters / seconds squared? plz use your own words

2 answers:

8 0

Acceleration is velocity over time, and velocity is displacement over time. (This explains why time is squared.) As for the units, physicists (as well as pretty much any other kind of scientist) rely on SI units, which are the units generally accepted by scientists world-wide. Meters are the SI unit for length, and seconds are the SI unit for time.

This is because to find acceleration, you must divide velocity by time. Velocity is measured in meters / second, and time is measured in seconds. So, when meters / second is divided by seconds, the units become meters / second squared.

Two astronauts of mass 100 kg are 2 m apart in outer space. What is the

fredd [130]

The force of gravity between the astronauts is $1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have two astronauts, whose masses are:

$m_1 = 100 kg\\m_2 = 100 kg$

While the separation between the astronauts is

r = 2 m

Substituting into the equation, we can find the gravitational force between the two astronauts:

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(100)(100)}{2^2}=1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N$

Describe the parts of a lever. Include the following terms (fulcrum, resistance arm and effort arm).

yarga [219]

Answer:

hi here is your answer and this is a very important question.

Explanation:

A lever is a rigid bar with three parts: the fixed point around which the bar pivots is the fulcrum: the effort arm (in-lever arm) is the part of the lever to which force is applied; the resistance arm (out-lever arm) is the part that bears the load to be moved.
