Question

A car is moving north at 5.2 m/s2. Which type of motion do the SI units in this value express?

Answer 1

Answer:

the SI unit (meter per second square) indicates a linear type of motion.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the car, a = 5.2 m/s² North

the SI unit of the car, = m/s²

The SI unit of the given value (acceleration), indicates a linear type of motion.

Linear acceleration is the change in linear velocity with time. Also, the northwards direction indicates linear displacement of the car.

Therefore, the SI unit (meter per second square) indicates a linear type of motion.
