Suppose velocity is measured kmhr and time is measured in hourswhat is that unit of acceleration?
If velocity is km/hr and time is in hours then acceleration will be in km/hr2
What units are used to represent acceleration?
Velocity (acceleration x time = velocity).
Most minerals on earths surface contain which of the following?
silicon & oxygen.
What percent of the earths surface does the Atlantic ocean?
i believe roughly 70% (not completely sure though) I'm not really sure, but something like 70% of the earths surface..
What process did James Hutton propose replenishes the rock on Earths surface?
Uplift
Why is acceleration due to gravity the same for all objets?
because all are measured at the same radius from the earths cog, if you doubled this distance, the acceleration would be only one quarter that of the surface
What is the gravitational force on any object near the earths surface?
Force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration (m/s/s) > Acceleration at earths surface radius = 9.82 m/s/s
What is makemakes gravity compared to earths gravity?
The acceleration of gravity at its surface is currently estimated as 0.4 m/s2 .That's about 4% of the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.
What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?
Yes, exactly. Free fall results in constant acceleration.
How can acceleration be measured?
Acceleration can be measured using an accelerometer.
Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?
Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
What would you use to measure acceleration?
Acceleration is measured using an instrument called an ACCELEROMETER The simplest home-made accelerometer is a liquid-surface accelerometer, with water in a transparent liquid container with boxy sides. The slope of the liquid surface is a measurement of acceleration.
What is the planet earth's gravitational force?
This can be measured by the acceleration due to gravity at the surface. Earth's surface gravitational acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2
Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?
on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
What is measured by Richter scale?
A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
What is the acceleration due to gravity 9000000 meters away from the center of the earth?
If you have a known rate of acceleration and radius (such as at the earths surface), you can use the following equation to calculate the acceleration at another radius.a = k / ((d / r)^2)key:a = new acceleration rate ((m/s)/s)d = new radius (metres)k = known acceleration rate ((m/s)/s)r = known radius (metres)so if:d = 9 000 000 metresk = 9.82 (m/s)/s (acceleration at earths surface)r = 6 371 000 metres (radius at earths surface)then:a = 4.92 (m/s)/s
