Average acceleration is difference in velocity divided by time.
(35 - 15)/2 = 10 m/s² downward

Newton’s second law of motion addresses the relationship between what two variables that influence the force on a body?

Helen [10]

Answer:

A. Mass and acceleration

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum
Therefore; F = ma , where F is the resultant force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration of the body.
<u>Resultant force depends on the acceleration and the mass of a body in motion, an increase in acceleration causes a corresponding increase in resultant force.</u> A body with higher mass will have a larger strong force if the acceleration is kept constant.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1200 kg automobile moving at 18 m/s .

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

194,400 joules of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Remember that to calculate the Kinetic energy you need to use the next formula:

$Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2$

We know that Mass= 1200 kg and velocity is 18m/s, so we insert those values into the formula:

$Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2\\Ke=\frac{1}{2}1200kg*(18m/s)^2\\Ke=194,400 joules$

So the kinetic energy of a car moving at 18m/s with a mass of 1200 kg would be 194,400 joules.

How does 'g' vary from place to place?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

The acceleration g varies by about 1/2 of 1 percent with position on Earth's surface, from about 9.78 metres per second per second at the Equator to approximately 9.83 metres per second per second at the poles.

Which of the following is an example of acceleration?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth , a constant force is being applied on it which means it must has acceleration. Also the direction of satellite is always being changed when it is orbitting to there is always change in the velocity vector which means acceleration.

You can view in the attached diagram to understand how the velocity is being changed.
