Answer:

Explanation:

According to the newton's second law, the force exerted on an object is equal to the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration of the body.

F = m x a

Where, F is the force and a be the acceleration and m be the mass of the body.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the body.

As acceleration is zero, so

a = 0

v - u = 0

Where, v is the final velocity of the body and u be the initial velocity of the body.

It means the body is moving with uniform velocity.

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/

Katen [24]

<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)
