Physics (jsssieee) Flashcards
is equal to the rate of change in velocity over the interval of time.
Acceleration
is about the overall change,
average acceleration
means the change happens at the same rate.
Constant Acceleration
is about one specific moment in time, a change happen in an instant
Instantaneous Acceleration
Acceleration formula
a = Δv/Δt
The unit of measurement of acceleration is.
m/s^2
It is called the “center seeking” acceleration.
Centripetal Acceleration
defined as the time it takes to complete one revolution or a cycle in which the object is moving at a constant velocity in a circular direction.
Period of Motion
if we increase the radius the centripetal will?
decrease
A jet moving east at 400 m/s makes a circular turn to head north in an arc of radius 4000 m. What is the
40 m/s^2
If a boy is standing at the edge of a merry-go-round with radius of 2.0 m and makes one complete revolution in 6.0 seconds, what is his centripetal acceleration?
2.19 m/s^2
A bus accelerates from an initial speed of 12 m/s at a constant rate of 1.2 m/s^2. What is the final speed of the bus after 15 seconds?
30 m/s
A horse rider starting from rest has a velocity of 9.6 meters per second in 2.0 seconds. What is the horse rider’s average acceleration?
4.8 m/s^2
Determine the final velocity of a car that enters a tunnel at 24 m/s and accelerates at 2.0 m/s^2, with a time of 8.0 seconds as it leaves the tunnel.
40 m/s
