Which of the following is a definition of acceleration? *

Physics
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.

How much thermal energy is created when a 3000 kg suv brakes to a stop from 20 m/s on a level road?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

b. 600,000 J

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of energy,

The thermal energy created = Kinetic energy of the suv.

Q' = 1/2(mv²)............... Equation 1

Where Q' = Thermal energy, m = mass of the suv, v = velocity of the suv.

From the question,

Given: m = 3000 kg, v = 20 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q' = 1/2(3000×20²)

Q' = 600000 J

Hence the right option is b. 600,000 J

When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons a) are random b) vary with the frequency o
jekas [21]

Answer:

b) vary with the frequency of the light

Explanation:

The phone electric effect can be expressed as

K.E=(hv -W•)

Where K.E is the Kinectic energy

W• = work function of the metal

ν =frequency of the radiation

h = Planck's constat

Then, we can see that K.E is proportional linearly to "v" in the equation above.

Therefore, When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons vary with the frequency of the light
