Explanation:

because the acceleration is negative, this indicates a deceleration (or slowing down) . Hence we can say that:

The car is decelerating (slowing down), i.e its velocity is decreasing, at a constant rate of 5m/s².

A e limb of mass 12kg falls straight down. If air resistance exerts 27 N of froce on the limb as it falls, what is the net force

Gelneren [198K]

During the falling down, two forces are present: gravitational force and air resistance.

So, the net force = mg - f = 12*9.8 - 27 = 90.6 N, the positive sign indicates the direction is pointing towards the center of the earth, which is the same as gravitational force

A mass of 8 kg moves at a rate of 14.3 m/sec. what is the KE developed by the mass?

Lynna [10]

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object. It's a scalar quantity, there is no direction associated with KE and it has no components. $KE = \frac{mv ^{2} }{2} = \frac{8 *14.3 ^{2} }{2} = 4 *204.49 = 817.96J$ . Therefore Kinetic energy is 817.96J.
