Mike was running at a higher speed than Mitchell
Answer:
a= -0.86 m/s²
The negative sign shows that ball down the ground or moving down
Explanation:
Vf² - Vo² = 2gS
where
Vf = velocity of clay as it hits the ground
Vo = initial velocity of clay = 0
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)
S = distance travelled by clay = 15 m
Substituting appropriate values,
Vf² - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)
Vf = 17.15 m/sec.
Formula to use is,
V - Vf = aT
where
V = velocity of clay when it stops = 0
Vf = 17.15 m/sec (as determined above)
a = acceleration
T = 20 ms
Put the values to find acceleration
a=(V-Vf)/T
a=(0-17.15)/20
a= -0.86 m/s²
The negative sign shows that ball down the ground
The sun is bigger, but has less mass than the earth
The first law states that “objects at rest and objects in motion remain in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”. Keeping the ice smooth will make sure there is not friction, friction would slow the puck down
