What is acceleration, and what are its properties?

What is acceleration, and what are its properties? What is the relationship of acceleration to a change in velocity and the time it takes for the velocity to change?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Acceleration is time rate of change of velocity

Let u= initial velocity v= Final velocity

a=v-u/t

Properties of acceleration

acceleration wil be positive if v>u.

Acceleration wil be negative if v

What would be its initial acceleration assuming it was the same size as on Mars

It has been proposed that we could explore Mars using inflated balloons to hover just above the surface. The buoyancy of the atmosphere would keep the balloon aloft. The density of the Martian atmosphere is 0.0154 (although this varies with temperature). Suppose we construct these balloons of a thin but tough plastic having a density such that each square meter has a mass of 4.60 . We inflate them with a very light gas whose mass we can neglect. So...

(b) How many times is this acceleration greater than the gravitational acceleration at the location OF Mars, provided by the Sun (mass of the Sun is 1.99∙1030 kg, and the radius of Mars’ orbit is 2.28∙1011 m)?

Magnetism - comparing its basic properties with the basic properties of electricity there are similarities, yet distinct differences, seen. Together, electricity and magnetism can be combined to form the more general theory of electromagnetism - seeing that electricity and magnetism can be seen as "opposites sides of the same coin." One topic that was seen for electricity was the special and common case of electrostatic equilibrium of a conductor. Here several properties were given with the primary one of that...
