Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago

The magnitude of acceleration is (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning) =

                                   (16 m/s)  -  (0)  =  16 m/s .

Time for the change  =  4 s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (16 m/s) / (4 s) = 4 m/s per sec = 4 m/s² .

16 m/s - 0 m/s divided by 4s
= 16 m/s divided by 4s
= 4 m/s
The acceleration is 4 m/s squared

A rock falls off a 15 meter cliff. How fast is the rock traveling vertically two seconds later?
oksian1 [2.3K]
The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s².  That means that
an object falling under the influence of gravity will move 9.8 m/s
faster than it was moving a second earlier.

Falling from rest, it will be moving 9.8 m/s after the first second,
and 19.6 m/s after the 2nd second.

The height from which it fell doesn't matter.

What is the upward force that balances the weight of an object on a surface
Alina [70]

Answer:

The support force/ Normal reaction force

Explanation:

Refer to Newtons third law.

"The third law states that when a force acts on a body due to another body, then an equal and opposite force acts simultaneously on that body"

Since we have a downward force acting on your object, in this case gravity/weight, there is an equal and opposite force given off by the surface the object is on. This is called the support force or the normal reaction force

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy through space. Which of these characterizes the fundamental difference between mecha
shusha [124]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves are the types of waves we have. The major difference between this type of waves is that, while mechanical waves requires material medium for its propagation, electromagnetic waves does not require material medium for its propagation.

Example of mechanical waves are waves produced by a ripple tank.

Example of an electromagnetic waves are the electromagnetic spectrum which includes radio waves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet rays etc... This waves are produced naturally without any medium compare to mechanical wave.
