Answer:

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Object could only be moving with increasing speed.

Explanation:

Let us consider the general formula of acceleration:

a = (Vf - Vi)/t

Vf = Vi + at   -------- equation 1

where,

Vf = Final Velocity

Vi = Initial Velocity

a = acceleration

t = time

<u>FOR POSITIVE ACCELERATION:</u>

Vf = Vi + at

since, both acceleration and time are positive quantities. Hence, it means that the final velocity of the object shall be greater than the initial velocity of the object.

Vf > Vi

It clearly shows that if an object moves with positive acceleration. <u>It could only be moving with increasing speed.</u>

Solving the same equation for negative acceleration shows that the final velocity will be less than initial velocity and object will be moving with decreasing speed.

And for the constant velocity final and initial velocities are equal and thus, acceleration will be zero.

A ball is released from the top of a hill. How fast is the ball going when it reaches the base of the hill? Approximate g as 10
irina [24]
First I’ll show you this standard derivation using conservation of energy:
Pi=Kf,
mgh = 1/2 m v^2,
V = sqrt(2gh)
P is initial potential energy, K is final kinetic, m is mass of object, h is height from stopping point, v is final velocity.
In this case the height difference for the hill is 2-0.5=1.5 m. Thus the ball is moving at sqrt(2(10)(1.5))=
5.477 m/s.

A lever has a mechanical advantage of 5.4. If you apply a force of 500 N to the lever, how much force does the lever apply to th
Yanka [14]

Force applied by the lever to the object=2700 N

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage= \frac{LOAD}{EFFORT}

mechanical advantage= 5.4

effort force= 500 N

we need the load force

5.4= load/500

load=2700 N

Thus the force applied by the lever to the object=2700 N
