a=v/t

a=38/10

a=-3.8 m/s^2

You put the negative in front of 3.8 because it decelerated.

Hope it helps and is correct :)

horsena [70]

Answer:

Today, scientists believe that the main reason the earth has had periodic ages is that the climate of earth is controlled by the difference in heating of it's surface by the sun. As for example, the equatorial regions are the warmest as the sun is vertically overhead of those areas and the polar regions where the sun is at the extreme angels are the coldest ones.

A ball is thrown at 60 degrees and lands in 18.5 seconds what is the velocity of the ball at the start

n200080 [17]

Answer:

the initial velocity of the ball is 104.67 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

angle of projection, θ = 60⁰

time of flight, T = 18.5 s

let the initial velocity of the ball, = u

The time of flight is given as;

$T = \frac{2u\times sin(\theta)}{g} \\\\2u\times sin(\theta) = Tg\\\\u = \frac{Tg}{2\times sin(\theta)} \\\\u = \frac{18.5 \times 9.8}{2\times sin(60^0)} \\\\u = 104.67 \ m/s$
