Which of the units that can be used to describe vector quantities?
Units that are used for measures in which the direction is relevant. Example are displacement, velocity, acceleration, force.
What unit measures vibration?
Vibration has amplitude and frequency, usually defined by acceleration and cycles per second (Hertz). It is measured with an accelerometer.
How can you use a graph to show acceleration?
With great difficulty. Acceleration is a vector and that means that it has a direction as well as a magnitude (size). For motion in a plane, the only effective way to show acceleration is to draw lots of arrows from points at regular intervals in a plane such that the length of the arrow is a measure of the magnitude of the acceleration and the direction of the arrow coincides with that of the acceleration. An answer referring to a speed-time graph is totally incorrect. That measures speed in the radial direction only. All apects of motion (displacement, speed, acceleration) in a transsverse direction are completely ignored.
What is the application for vector calculus?
Measures of motion (displacement, velocity, acceleration) and forces are all vectors so any study involving these would require vector calculus.
What is the difference between gravitational acceleration and acceleration?
Gravitational acceleration is simply acceleration due to gravity.
What does acceleration measure?
Acceleration measures the change in speed
Measures the changes in velocity?
A change in velocity is acceleration, so a accelerometer
What is the measure of a body's resistance to acceleration?
Mass measures the body's resistance to acceleration.
What measures acceleration on a speed-time graph?
The slope.
How is a speed graph different from an acceleration graph?
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
On speed-time graph the measures acceleration?
On speed-time graph can measure acceleration by getting the slope.
What does the slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph measure?
it measures the magnitude of acceleration, but it can't tell you the direction of the acceleration.
What do acceleration data loggers measure?
An acceleration data logger measures and records the activity and motion. They are used to find the activity of temperature, humidity, and pressure.
How does acceleration occur?
acceleration work by speed when something is going fast and when it and go over or faster with something.
What does a acceleration data logger do?
An acceleration data logger is a Self Contained Acceleration Event, Date, Time Recorder. It also Measures & Records Peak Shock Level, Duration, Velocity Change, Date & Time.
What are some acceleration facts?
Acceleration cannot be measured directly. An accelerometer, therefore, measures the force exerted by restraints that are placed on a reference mass to hold its position fixed in an accelerating body. Acceleration is computed using the relationship between restraint force and acceleration...
Is your speed is constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?
If your acceleration is zero, then yes, you are traveling at a constant speed. The path does not matter. Acceleration measures the change in velocity, so an acceleration of zero means that there is zero change in velocity and therefore the speed is constant.
