AI Thread Summary
The discussion confirms that the units of acceleration 1 km/h/s and 1 km/s/h are equivalent, both translating to 1000/3600 m/s². Participants emphasize the importance of numerical examples to illustrate this equivalence, suggesting that after one second, 1 km/s/h equals approximately 0.28 m/s². The conversation welcomes new participants and encourages further exploration of the topic with practical calculations. Overall, the thread clarifies the relationship between these units of acceleration effectively.

Yes. 1 km/h/s is 1 km/s/h is 1000/3600 m/s2

Oh, and: Hello Kishwar, :welcome: !

What do you think? Have you tried with some numbers, like what is the speed in both cases after one second?

Correct. It would be perfect wen you also add a number on the left hand side: 1.0 km/s/h = 0.28 m/s^2

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
