Because acceleration is not speed, and speed is not acceleration.
I'm sure you would not ask "Why isn't temperature given in acres,
as it is for area ?" Speed and acceleration are different things, so
it's only natural that they have different units.
The magnitude (size) part of acceleration is:
(how much speed changes) per second.
Are you speeding up ?
Are you traveling (2 meters per second) faster every second ?
Then your acceleration is
(2 meters per second) per second .
When you write that phrase as an algebraic expression, it's
(2 m/sec) / sec
and when you simplify that fraction, you get 2 m/sec² .
Answer:
ground
Explanation:a conductor connected directly to the earth is called a ground
Answer:
the potential energy of this body is 245 J.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the body, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg
height from which the body was dropped, h = 100 m
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
The potential energy of this body is calculated as;
P.E = mgh
substitute the given values and solve for the potential energy of this body;
P.E = 0.25 x 9.8 x 100
P.E = 245 J.
Therefore, the potential energy of this body is 245 J.
... The top branch of the 3-branched parallel block ... the 9 and 6 in series ...
is equivalent to a single resistor of 15 ohms.
... The 3-branched parallel block boils down to (30, 10, and 15) in parallel.
That's (1/30 + 1/10 + 1/15)⁻¹ = 5 ohms.
... The 5-ohm-equivalent block and the 20-ohm resistor form a
voltage divider across the battery.
The voltage across the 5-ohm-equivalent block is (5/25 x 30v) = 6v .
... The top branch of the block is equivalent to a (9 + 6) = 15-ohmer.
With 6v across its ends, the current through that branch is (6/15) = 0.4A .
... With 0.4A flowing through it, the 9-ohm resistor is dissipating
I²R = (0.4A)² (9 ohms) = (0.16 A²) (9 ohms) = 1.44 W (choice-3)
