Do you calculate the change in distance to find acceleration?

Physics

You COULD find acceleration by taking a lot of distance measurements,
but that's definitely the hard way to do it.

Acceleration is (change in speed) divided by (time for the change).

So the basic way to calculate acceleration is to measure the change
in speed, not distance.

Vladimir79 [104]
This is a very valid hypothesis for many reasons. One is that solar systems form from massive amounts of dust, ice, and debris that eventually form into planets and such. This means it is very possible for this 'excess material' if you will to have moved into orbit behind Neptune.

Substance A has twice the specific heat capacity as substance B. If 1000 J of heat are added to 1.0 kg of each substance, compar
Mrrafil [7]
Substance A would have a delta T (change in temp) rise 1/2 the rise in substance B.

Q=mc x delta T

Q= heat energy in Joules
m= mass of substance heated or cooled
c= specific heat
ΔT is change in temp.

Solve for change in temp=. Q/mc

Specific heat and mass are not inversely proportional to heat energy input.

Putting into real world scenario of using water to heat a building.

Specific heat of water is 1.
It takes 1 btu to raise one pound of water 1 degF. at a base of 60 degF

Acetone specific heat is .51

So it takes half the amount of heat input to get a 100 degree ΔT, as compared to water.

A bicyclist, initially at rest, begins pedaling and gaining speed steadily for 4.90s during which she covers 25.0m.
emmasim [6.3K]

The bicyclist accelerates with magnitude <em>a</em> such that

25.0 m = 1/2 <em>a</em> (4.90 s)²

Solve for <em>a</em> :

<em>a</em> = (25.0 m) / (1/2 (4.90 s)²) ≈ 2.08 m/s²

Then her final speed is <em>v</em> such that

<em>v</em> ² - 0² = 2<em>a</em> (25.0 m)

Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> = √(2 (2.08 m/s²) / (25.0 m)) ≈ 10.2 m/s

Convert to mph. If you know that 1 m ≈ 3.28 ft, then

(10.2 m/s) • (3.28 ft/m) • (1/5280 mi/ft) • (3600 s/h) ≈ 22.8 mi/h
