What do you get when you multiply meters per second by kilograms?
(kilograms) x (meters per second)That's a (mass) multiplied by a (speed), which is a unit of [momentum] ... kilogram-meter per second.
If a nerve cell travels 100 meters per second and a car travels at 88.5 kilometers a hour which is faster?
Convert this to a common unit. For example, to convert meters per second to km/hour, multiply by 3.6.Convert this to a common unit. For example, to convert meters per second to km/hour, multiply by 3.6.Convert this to a common unit. For example, to convert meters per second to km/hour, multiply by 3.6.Convert this to a common unit. For example, to convert meters per second to km/hour, multiply by 3.6.
Why is acceleration often expressed with units of meters per second squared?
Because if speed is measured in meters per second (m/s) and time is measured in seconds, the SI unit of acceleration is meters per second per second (m/s2). ^_^
What are the units of acceleration?
Acceleration is a change in velocity per unit of time. Velocity is distance (d) per unit of time (t). That makes acceleration distance per unit of time squared, or something like this:We have distance/time2, or d/t2Distance is commonly measured in meters, and time in seconds. This makes acceleration appear in meters per second per second, or meters per second squared, or m/sec2.m/s2meters per second squared
Why are the units for acceleration meters per second?
Acceleration is not measured in meters/second. Meters/second is a unit of speed. Since acceleration is defined as change of speed divided by time, the units are meters/second/second, usually written as meters/second2.
