A polymer is a single chained molecule that is  made up of repeating subunits called monomers. In contrast, a composite is a material that is made from combining two or more molecules with similar physical or chemical properties to produce a hybrid molecule.

Plywood- it is a composite made from sticking together thin strips of wood with glue to ake stable sheets.

Plastic- a polymer made of repeating units called monomers of some kind of organic compounds.

concrete- is a composite made from mixing water cement and rocks. The mixture is not repeating and can branch in different ways which discounts it from being a polymer.

fiberglass- is a composite made that has no repeating units but made from plastic and glass fiber.

paper- is a polymer made of a repeating units of a specific monomer.

nylon- is a polymer manufactured by reacting repeating units of monomers.

If a body with a mass of 4 kg is moved by a force of 20 N, what’s is the rate of acceleration ?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The rate of acceleration is 5.

Explanation:

In order to calculate acceleration we need to divide the force by the mass.

Acceleration = net force/mass

In this case, it would be 20/4. Simplify that and we get 5.
