Answer: d. 5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity in a given time.

a = (30-20)/2 = 5

The ball is travelling in horizontal direction with an acceleration of \bold{5\ m/ s^{2}}

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The rate at which velocity of an object changes is acceleration i.e., if the velocity of an object is changing, the object is accelerating. The unit of measurement of acceleration is Meter per Seconds Square. Acceleration is the derivative of the changing velocity wrt to time,

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}-----{Eqn} 1

Given,  

Initial velocity = 20 m/s (v_{i})  

Final velocity = 30 m/s (v_{f})

Initial time = 0 s (t_{i})

Final time = 2 s (t_{f})

From the equation 1,

\begin{aligned} a &=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}} \\ a &=\frac{30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}-20 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}}{2 \mathrm{s}}=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \end{aligned}

Hence, the acceleration of ball moving horizontally is \bold{5\ m/s^{2}}

What happens when solar energy heats a body of water?
Nataliya [291]
Explanation: Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor (Dunn,1993).

What is the acceleration of a 7 kg mass if the force of 70 N is used to move it toward the Earth?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

m is the mass

f is the force

From the question we have

a =  \frac{70}{7}  = 10 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball. which describes how the small ball likely r
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer;

-it will move away from the large ball because like charges repel.

Explanation;

-Electric force is the force that pushes apart two like charges, or that pulls together two unlike charges. The basic law of electrostatics Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.

When small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball it would be pushed away from the large positively charged ball since they are both positively charged. One has to put in energy to try to move the small ball closer to the large ball. The closer one try to move it to the large ball, the more energy one has to put in, so the more electrical potential energy the small ball would have.

A force of 200N due South and another force of 300N due East each act on an object simultaneously.
dangina [55]

Answer:

a) 500

b)-500, north west

Explanation:

a) sum of F= F1+F2= 200+300= 500

b) sum of forces=0

so 200+300-500+0
