Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:

 x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a          (EQUATION 1)

vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a             (EQUATION 2)

Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2

applied forces would be push for example.

normal forces would seem to be a force such as gravity.

friction for example when you try to slide on carpet but the fabric or whatever its made of stops you.

Answer:

Copper

Explanation:

Capacitance is directly proportional to dielectric constant

Aluminium and zinc are highly reactive and have high dielectric contact.

Copper has less dielectric constant hence capacitance will decrease
