<span>A is True:

</span>The formula for acceleration is:

Acceleration = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}
Acceleration = \frac{Xm/s-Xm/s}{s} = Xm/s^{2}

Because the unit of velocity is m/s and the unit of time is second this is what happened:

\frac{m}{s} ÷\frac{s}{1}

\frac{m}{s} ÷X \frac{1}{s} = \frac{m}{s^{2}} 

B is True:

Acceleration is a vector quantity, so that means it should have both magnitude and direction. When given an acceleration, the sign usually indicates the direction. A negative value is a sign that it is decelerating and not accelerating. 

D could be true only if:

Your question is actually broken so we do not know the symbol you are showing. But in general, the symbol of acceleration is a letter "a" with an arrow on top. You can see in the picture attached to see the symbol I am referring to. 

C is not true because acceleration is the change in VELOCITY over time. Velocity and speed are different.

The first thing you should know is that acceleration is a vector, therefore, it has magnitude, and direction.

By definition, we have that the vector acceleration is given by:

a = \frac{dv}{dt}\\

Where,

dv/dt: derived from the velocity vector with respect to time,

Therefore, the units of the vector acceleration are:

a = \frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}\\

a = \frac{m}{s^2}

The symbol of acceleration is:

a^{->}

Answer:

The statements about acceleration that are true are:

a. the si units of acceleration are m/s2.

b. for acceleration, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.

d. the symbol for acceleration is (True, only if the symbol is the same as above)

A 7300 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.20 m/s2 and feels no appreci
Simora [160]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall first calculate the velocity at height h = 575 m .

acceleration a = 2.2 m /s²

v² = u² + 2 a s

u is initial velocity , v is final velocity , s is height achieved

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.2 x 575

v = 50.3 m /s

After 575 m , rocket moves under free fall so g will act on it downwards

If it travels further by height H

from the relation

v² = u² - 2 g H

v = 0 , u = 50.3 m /s

H = ?

0 = 50.3² - 2 x 9.8 H

H = 129.08 m

Total height attained by rocket

= 575 + 129.08

= 704.08 m .

Three identical resistors have an equivalent resistance 15.6 ohm when they are connected in series. What is the resistance for e
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

R=5.2\ \Omega

Explanation:

In series combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3+...

Let the identical resistors be R. We have, R_{eq}=15.6\ \Omega

So,

R+R+R=15.6\\\\3R=15.6\\\\R=\dfrac{15.6}{3}\\\\R=5.2\ \Omega

So, the resistance of each resistor is 5.2\ \Omega.

The current in an electric hair dryer is 10
Vikki [24]
First let's convert the time in seconds:
\Delta t= 5 min= 5 min \cdot (60 s/min)= 300 s

The current is defined as the quantity of charge flowing through a certain section of a circuit per unit of time:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Using I=10 A, and \Delta t=300 s, we can find the amount of charge flown through the hair dryer in this time:
Q=I \Delta t=(10 A)(300 s)=3000 C

The charge of a single electron is q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C, so the number of electrons flown through the hair dryer is the total charge divided by the charge of a single electron:
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{3000 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C} =1.88 \cdot 10^{22}

You are given five transparent objects: a calcite crystal, a diamond, a piece of window glass, a sample of quartz, and a piece o
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The calcite Crystal can be identified by carrying out an acid test on it. This is done by bringing it in contact with a weak acid which cause crack in it structure. Hence a little of carbondioxide gas is released.

Since diamond is the hardest object,it can be identified on a Mohs scale. Likewise it can be tested by bringing it in contact with a newspaper, if the letters on the paper are not seen, that shows it is a pure diamond.

Window glass is identified by the code on it.

While Quartz Crystal is identified by scratch test. When it is used to scratch all other softer stones and metal, it leaves mark on them.
