How do you find the gravitational potential energy if you have the weight in newtons and the acceleration and the height?
The gravitational potential energy is the product of (mass) x (acceleration due to gravity) x height). The first two terms ... (mass) x (acceleration due to gravity) ... are the object's weight. So if you already know its weight, then the gravitational potential energy is just (weight) x (height) and you don't need to use gravity at all.
What is an accelerometer used for?
An accelerometer is used to measure proper acceleration. This is the acceleration felt by people and objects. Such accelerations are measured in terms of G-Force.
What does a positive slope on a velocity and time graph mean in terms of motion?
Acceleration
What is the definition of acceleration in scientific terms?
Acceleration is a vector, and is the derivative with respect to time of the velocity. That means it's the rate at which the speed is changing, and the direction of the change.
How is force calculated?
Force in terms of newtons is expressed in the equation f=ma, that is, force (newtons) = Mass (kilograms) x Acceleration (MS-2, meters per second per second). This refers to the force needed to exert on something to increase its speed disregarding friction as a form of negative force. To work out the force applied by something when it causes impact, Forcei = mass x speed. Say a 100kg object is travelling at 10ms-1 , it is exerting a force of 1000 newtons upon impact, now if it impacts with another person of mass of 50kg, and stops completely, that other person will travel at a speed of 20ms-1 in the same direction that the original person was travelling. hope this helped.
How do you Restate newtons first law in terms of acceleration?
By saying that the acceleration is zero.
What three terms are represented in newtons second law of motions fma?
Force= Mass x Acceleration
Explains newton's 2nd mathematically in science terms and by examples?
well i do believe the official equation for calculating the acceleration of an object is acceleration equals the net force (in newtons) divided by the mass (in kilograms). but i like to use the equation mass (in kilograms) = acceleration (in meters/seconds2) x the net force (in newtons). hope this helped :D
What is the equation to find Newtons?
Also if you mean Newtons in terms of weight the formula is Newtons = Mass * Gravity

What are the following terms-angular acceleration-centripetal acceleration-instantaneous acceleration-ballistic pendulum-angle of deviation-therionic emission of light-first law of thermodynamic?
instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration at one point. yeah, it's true
What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
What is the scientific meaning of acceleration?
Definition: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity as a function of time. It is vector. In calculus terms, acceleration is the second derivative of position with respect to time or, alternately, the first derivative of the velocity with respect to time.
What is the production of acceleration?
In very general terms, the application of a force will produce an acceleration.
What is does a horizontal line mean on a speed time graph?
It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.
Who discovered acceleration?
it was discovered many years ago but Newton was the first who described it in mathematical terms.
Which law of motion helps us to define force?
force is essentially a push or pull, its value in science terms can be measured using f=m*a where: f = force in newtons m = mass in kilograms a = acceleration in meters per second / per second
