Nearly all physics problems will use the unit m/s squared. Why are the seconds squared?

Seconds squared is the time unit of acceleration.  It represents the change in distance units per second per second. For example, 3 m/sec² means a distance covering 3 meters in the first second, then 9 meters in the 2nd second, and 37 meters in the third second. (3^1, 3^2, 3^3).

Acceleration is part of Newton's 2nd law: force = mass x acceleration. Units of work: joule = kg·m²/s², and power: watts = kg·m²/s³ all contain accelerations.

1. What is the formula for the period of a pendulum and what is the main determining factor in its period?
Brut [27]

Answer:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Explanation:

A simple pendulum is a system consisting of a mass attached to a string, and oscillating in a periodic motion, back and forth, along an equilibrium position.

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one oscillation.

The period of a pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity

From the formula, we see that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass.

Therefore, the only 2 factors affecting the period of a pendulum are:

- The length of the pendulum: the longer it is, the longer the period of oscillation

- The acceleration due to gravity: the greater it is, the shorter the period of the pendulum

Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the box if you push on the box with a constant force 170.0 N that is parallel to
Degger [83]

The acceleration of the  box up the ramp is 9.65 m/s².

<h3>What is the magnitude of acceleration of the box?</h3>

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

F(net) = ma

where;

  • m is the mass of the box
  • a is the acceleration of the box

The net force on the box is calculated as follows;

F(net) = F - Ff

F(net) = F - μmgcosθ

where;

  • θ is the inclination of the plane
  • μ is coefficient of friction

F(net) = 170 -  (0.3 x 15 x 9.8 x cos55)

F(net) = 144.7

The acceleration of the box is calculated as;

a = F(net) / m

a = (144.7) / (15)

a = 9.65 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the  box up the ramp is 9.65 m/s².
