Answer: 5 m/s^2

Explanation: You have to use a kinematics equation that Includes what you are given. So in this case you have Initial velocity, final velocity, and time. You’re looking for acceleration so you have everything you need to use an equation, the one without distance.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

Assuming that the initial velocity of the jumper is zero, on Earth any freely falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s².

Δt = (√2xgxh)/9,8
Δt = (14√10)/9,8
Δt ≈ 4,5 s

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 18 seconds for a distance of 390 m. Determine the acceleration o

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$a=2.4\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial speed of a car, u = 0

Time, t = 18 s

Distance, d = 390 m

We need to find the acceleration of the car. Let it is a. Using the second equation of motion to find it.

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\a=\dfrac{2d}{t^2}\\\\a=\dfrac{2\times 390}{(18)^2}\\\\a=2.4\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $2.4\ m/s^2$ .

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio

valentinak56 [21]

The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.
