11. What are the units for acceleration?​

Physics
1 answer:
Monica [59]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Acceleration (a) is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity, and therefore acceleration is also a vector quantity. The SI unit of acceleration is metres/second2 (m/s2).

If object A has more mass than object B, what will object A need to accelerate at the same rate as object B?
Leni [432]

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Object A has more mass than object B

  For object A to accelerate at the same rate as object B, it will need more force.

According to Newton's second law of motion "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

  Net force  = mass x acceleration

Now, if a body has more mass and needs to accelerate at the same rate as another one with a lower mass, the force on it must be increased.

A coin is dropped in a 15.0 m deep well.
labwork [276]

Answer:

t = 1.75

t = 0.04

Explanation:

a)

For part 1 we want to use a kenamatic equation with constant acceleration:

X = 1/2*a*t^2

isolate time

t = sqrt(2X / a)

Plugin known variables. Acceleration is the force of gravity which is 9.8 m/s^2

t = sqrt(2*15m / 9.8m/s^2)

t = 1.75 s

b)

The speed of sound travels at a constant speed therefore we don't need acceleration and can use the equation:

v = d / t

isolate time

t = d / v

plug in known variables

t = 15m / 340m/s

t = 0.04 s

What is a newton defined as<br>​
slava [35]

Answer:

Newton, absolute unit of force in the International System of Units (SI units), abbreviated N. It is defined as that force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second.

It is said that a gas fills all the space available to it. Why then doesn't the atmosphere go off into space?
Alex777 [14]
Earth has its own atmosphere. That is one reason all the water that has been on Earth has been recycled through the water cycle. It never leaves Earth’s atmosphere.

A body weighs 100newtons when submerged in water. calculate the upthrust action on the body​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Upthrust = 20 N

Explanation:

The question says that "A body weighs 100N in air and 80N when submerged in water. Calculate the upthrust acting on the body ?"

Upthrust is defined as the force when a body is submerged in liquid, then liquid applies a force on it.

ATQ,

Weight of body in air is 100 N

Weight of body in water is 80 N

Upthrust is equal to the weight of body in air minus weight of body in water.

Upthrust = 100 N - 80 N

Upthrust = 20 N

So, 20 N of upthrust is acting on the body.
