Answer:

s^ -1    ( or    1/sec)

Explanation:

Velocity is given in units of displacement / sec

like feet /sec   or   m/sec    

so b would have units of   s^-1

(or perhaps a more general term would be   time^-1)

Acceleration occurs whenever an ___________________ force acts on an object.
leonid [27]
Acceleration occurs whenever the forces on an object are unbalanced.

It's the group of forces on the object that's either balanced or unbalanced.
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

A 2.00-kg block of ice is moving on a frictionless horizontal surface. At t = 0 the block is moving to the right with a velocity
enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

We shall apply the concept of impulse .

Impulse = force x time = change in momentum

= 5 x 4 = 2 ( V - 3 )  , where V is final velocity of the object

20 = 2V - 6

V = 13 m /s

b )

Impulse applied = - 7 x 4 = - 28 kg m/s ( negative as direction of force is opposite motion )

If v be the final velocity

2 x 3 - 28 = 2 v  ( initial momentum - change in momentum = final momentum )

- 22 = 2v

v = - 11 m /s

object will move with 11 m /s in opposite direction .

An airplane dropped a flare from a height of 2860 feet above a lake. How many seconds did it take for the flare to reach the wat
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: 13.2 seconds.

Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0

S= distance travelled

a = acceleration due gravity

t= time.

1 foot = 0.305m so,

S= 2860 feet =872.3m

S= ut+1/2 at²

872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²

872.3 =0 + 5t²

T²= 872.3/5

T²= 174.46

Take the square root of T we then have;

t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.

A sports car accelerates from rest for 5 seconds reaching a velocity of 23.0 m/s.
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<h2>4.6 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

<h3>a =  \frac{v - u}{t}  \\</h3>

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration

Since the body is from rest u = 0

From the question we have

a =  \frac{23 - 0}{5}  =  \frac{23}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.6 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
