Answer:

0.25m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration= Change in velocity / time

= 2 - 0 / 8

= 2 /8

= 0.25

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) 70,560 J

b) 88.2 N/m

Explanation:

The spring potential will equal the change in gravity potential

PS = PE = mgh = 80(9.8)(100 - 10) = 70,560 J

PS = ½kx²

k = 2PS/x² = 2(70560)/(100 - 50 - 10)² = 88.2 N/m

Which of the following best describes the difference between speed and acceleration?
Nataly_w [17]

The correct answer to the question is : C) Speed is the distance an object travels within a specific unit of time, whereas acceleration is the rate at which the speed or direction of an object is changing.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand speed and acceleration.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of change of distance or the distance covered by the body per unit time. Speed is scalar quantity. Hence, it needs only magnitude for its complete specification.

The acceleration produced by a body is defined as the rate of change of velocity. We know that velocity is the speed in a particular direction. Hence, the acceleration is not only produced due to the change in magnitude of velocity as well as due to the change in direction. Hence, acceleration is a vector quantity which needs magnitude as well as direction for its complete specification.

Hence, the best difference between speed and acceleration is the third statement.

Is momentum proportional or inversely proportional to mass?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object. where m is the mass and v is the velocity. The equation illustrates that momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and directly proportional to the object's velocity.
