Why do you calculate center of gravity?

If a force acts in a direction which passes through the centre of gravity of the object then it will impart no rotational acceleration; only linear acceleration.


What detects linear acceleration in the ear?

The utricle and macula are a part of the vestibular. Macula responds to linear acceleration and deceleration. So the vestibular detects linear acceleration.


Is there any difference between angular acceleration and radial acceleration?

Yes. A ngular acceleration is to do with something turning. Radial acceleration is linear acceleration perpendicular to the angular acceleration.


What are similarities of uniform linear acceleration to acceleration due to gravity?

inertia and potential energy


Which parts of the cochlea are responsible for sensing linear acceleration?

The vestibule is specifically responsible for static equilibrium. The Ultricle and the Saccule are specifically responsible for detecting linear acceleration.


Is a constant acceleration graph a linear equation?

Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.


The slope of a speed-time linear graph is .?

acceleration


What is the acceleration?

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time, for linear (constant) acceleration it is calculated by: (End Speed -Start Speed)/time taken


How do you calculate the acceleration of gravity?

To calculate the acceleration of gravity, time (t) an object falling a certain distance (d) and the acceleration of gravity= d/t


Is v linear?

If v (velocity) is constant, then it's straight (linear). If v is changing due to acceleration, then it is a curve (non-linear)


Is it true that to calculate acceleraltion you need to know both the final and the initial velocity of an object?

No. That's only one of several possibilities. -- with initial velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with final velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with force and mass, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final momentum, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final kinetic energy, you can calculate acceleration -- with mass, velocity at either end, and kinetic energy at the other end, you can calculate acceleration And I'm sure there are several more that I've missed.


How do you find linear?

acceleration = force in Newtons/mass in kg
