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.

If the half life of a substance is 3minutes , what percentage of it will decay after 23 minutes​
solong [7]

Answer & Explanation:

We can model the amount of substance remaining, S, after time, t, with the equation

, where

A is the quantity at time t = 0.

Divide both sides by A and multiply by 100 to obtain % remaining after t minutes.

100xS/A = 100x0.5^(-t/3)

A car is travelling around a circular track at a steady speed. A force causes it to follow the track.
Fittoniya [83]

The force that keeps the car moving in a circle is perpendicular to the car's velocity. The force points toward the center of the circle. The angle is <em>90°</em>.

The diagram that illustrates my answer is attached hereunto.
