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 .
I think it's longitudinal wave because the particles move parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.
Electrons have a negative charge, so if you give away electrons, you give away negative charge, thus ending with a positive charge.
Answer:
the second law states that the force F is the product of an object's mass and its acceleration a: F = m * a. For an external applied force, the change in velocity depends on the mass of the object.
