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

Sati [7]3 years ago

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.



Hope this helps

Suppose that the Mars orbiter was to have established orbit at 155 km and that one group of engineers specified this distance as
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

108 km

Explanation:

The conversion factor between meters and feet is

1 m = 3.28 ft

So the second altitude, written in feet, can be rewritten in meters as

h_2 = 1.55 \cdot 10^5 ft \cdot \frac{1}{3.28 ft/m}=4.7\cdot 10^4 m

or in kilometers,

h_2 = 47 km

the first altitude in kilometers is

h_1 = 155 km

so the difference between the two altitudes is

\Delta h = 155 km - 47 km = 108 km
