Answer:
0 m/s²
Explanation:
Since each skater pushes the other with a force of 70 N, according to Newton's third law, there is an equal reaction and thus the other pushes back with a force of 70 N in the other direction, so we have forces of +70N and -70 N respectively. So, the net force on each skateboarder is F = + 70 N + (-70 N) = + 70 N - 70 N = 0 N.
Since force, F = ma where a = acceleration and m = mass,
a = F/m.
So, since for each skater, F = 0N,
a = 0 N/m
= 0 m/s²
So, the acceleration of each skater is 0 m/s²
Answer:
Cause its scalar quantity
Explanation:
since speed does not take directions into consideration, it is considered to be a scalar quantity. On the other hand, the velocity of an object does not take into account direction, thus making it a vector quantity.
Explanation:
using the formula: S=ut+½gt², where u=0, S=?, g=8m/s², t=10seconds.
S=ut+½gt² ("ut" term will cancel because u=0).
=> S= ½gt²
=>S = ½×8×10²
=>S = 4×100
=>S = 400m .
Therefore, the distance traveled by the body in 10s is 400m.
hope this helps you.
