Acceleration is always measured in meters per second squared. Why is acceleration not measured in meters per second like speed?

Explain.
Physics
1 answer:
Taya2010 [7]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration.

Explanation:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration. For example, at 1 m/s an object is travelling a distance of 1 metre every second. But a rate of acceleration is a steady increase in velocity. So at 1 m/s^2, an object's velocity is increasing by 1 m/s every second.

Which statement about homeostasis is true?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Homeostasis helps to maintain body equilibrium.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is defined as the maintenance of a fairly constant internal environment in an organism. Body fluids such as blood, lymph, and tissue fluids make up the internal environment of the body, hence by the action of the nervous and endocrine system, there levels are maintained at a body equilibrium, by the help of brain, which has overall control of homeostasis while other parts such as kidney, liver, skin, hormones are also involved.

The big bang theory has finally answered one of the biggest questions of science—the origin of the universe.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to the big bang theory, matter was an infinitely small and very high density point which at one point exploded and expanded in all directions, creating what we know as our Universe, which also includes space and time . This happened about 13.8 billion years ago. Theoretical physicists have managed to reconstruct this chronology of events from 1/100 of a second after the Big Bang. After the explosion, while the Universe expanded, it cooled sufficiently and the first subatomic particles were formed: Electrons, Positrons, Mesons, Barions, Neutrinos, Photons among others. Today more than 90 particles are known. This theory solves many unknowns and is very well received by the scientific community, however there is still much to solve, for example, one of the great unsolved scientific problems in the expanding Universe model is whether the Universe is open or closed.

An attempt to solve this problem is to determine if the average density of matter in the Universe is greater than the critical value in Friedmann's model. The mass of a galaxy can be measured by observing the movement of its stars; multiplying the mass of each galaxy by the number of galaxies, it is seen that the density is only 5 to 10% of the critical value.
