Km/h² or m/s/s are the appropriate units of the acceleration.

Acceleration is the rate change of velocity of an object. it is given by

a=ΔV/Δt

Δv= change in speed

Δt= time taken

Δv is measured in meter of km

Time is measured in second s or hour h

so the units of acceleration are km/h² or m/s/s

Which type of image is formed by convex lens on a screen?

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The type of image formed on a screen by a convex lens is real, enlarged and inverted.

Explanation:

A lens can be defined as a transparent optical instrument that refracts rays of light to produce a real image.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of lens and these includes;

I. Diverging (concave) lens.

II. Converging (convex) lens.

A converging lens refers to a type of lens that typically causes parallel rays of light with respect to its principal axis to come to a focus (converge) and form a real image.

Basically, the type of image formed on a screen by a converging (convex) lens is real, enlarged and inverted because it is usually thick across the middle (causing rays of light to converge) but thin at the lower and upper edges.

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 32 m/s and comes to a stop with an acceleration of -6 m/s2. How long did it

diamong [38]

Answer: 6s

Explanation:

Vs=32m/s speed at beginning of slowing down

Vf=0m/s stop speed

a= -6 m/s² acceleration

----------------

Use equation for acceleration :

a=(Vf-Vs)/t

a*t=Vf-Vs

t=(Vf-Vs)/a

t=(0-36)/-6

t=-36/-6

t=6 s

The angular velocity of a flywheel obeys the equa tion w(1) A Br2, where t is in seconds and A and B are con stants having numer

makkiz [27]

Answer:

$A \to rad/s$

$B \to rad/s^3$

Explanation:

$\omega_z(t)=A + Bt^2$

Required

The units of A and B

From the question, we understand that:

$\omega_z(t) \to rad/s$

This implies that each of $A$ and $Bt^2$ will have the same unit as $\omega_z(t)$

So, we have:

$A \to rad/s$

$Bt^2 \to rad/s$

The unit of t is (s); So, the expression becomes

$B * s^2 \to rad/s$

Divide both sides by $s^2$

$B \to \frac{rad/s}{s^2}$

$B \to rad/s^3$

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached

MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.
