<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. constant acceleration.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Free fall is the type of motion of a body or an object when only gravity is acting on it.
  • <em><u>All objects undergo free fall on the earth surface at the same rate irrespective of their mass. This is because the gravitational field on the surface of the earth 9.8 N/kg, causes and acceleration equivalent to 9.8 m/s/s of any object in free fall motion.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u> the acceleration of any freely falling object near the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s².</u>

rjkz [21]

Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:

\Sigma F = ma

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

We are given the mass and acceleration, so:

∑F = 20 · 2 = <u>40 N</u>

A 1200 kg sports car accelerates from 0 m/s to 30 m/s in 10 s. What is the average power of the engine?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

3600N

Explanation:

Given: m = 1200kg, Vo = 0m/s, Vf = 30m/s, Δt = 10s

ΣF = ma

we need to find 'a' first, using the definition of 'a' we get equation:

a = (Vf-Vo)/Δt

a = (30m/s)/10s

a = 3 m/s^2

now substitute into top equation

ΣF = ma

Fengine = (1200kg)(3m/s^2)

Fengine = 3600N

How do you calculate average speed?
Mila [183]

Divide
       (the distance covered in some period of time)
by
       (the time taken to cover the distance).

The quotient is the average speed during that period of time.
