states and explain the terms: (a)=speed (b)velocity (c)acceleration?!!!!!
Answers
Answer:
(a) Speed is the distance travelled per unit time.
The SI unit of speed is m/s.
(b) Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
The SI unit of velocity is m/s.
(c) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
The SI unit of acceleration is m/s^2 ( metre per second square).
Answer:
These are the physical quantities essential to studying the motion of an object.
Explanation:
(a) Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance. Speed is a scalar quantity. The unit of speed is m/s. The equation to find speed is:
Speed = Distance / Time
(b) Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement. Velocity is a vector quantity. The unit of velocity is m/s. The equation to find velocity is:
Velocity = Displacement / Time
(c) Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Acceleration is a vector quantity. The unit of acceleration is m/s². The equation to find acceleration is:
Acceleration = Change in velocity / Time
