Answer:

a. 9.8 m/s2.

Explanation:

The acceleration depends on the force of gravity. It's independent of the velocity of the ball.

I believe that the best statement which explains why you can do this is C. <span>The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
Copper is known to be one of the best conductors of electricity, and plastic can shield you from shock.

An object experiences an acceleration of -6.8 m/s​2.​ As a result, it accelerates from 54 m/s to a complete stop. How much dista
inessss [21]

Answer:

The distance traveled during its acceleration, d = 214.38 m

Explanation:

Given,

The object's acceleration, a = -6.8 m/s²

The initial speed of the object, u = 54 m/s

The final speed of the object, v = 0

The acceleration of the object is given by the formula,

                                      a = (v - u) / t   m/s²

       ∴                              t = (v - u) / a

                                         = (0 - 54) / (-6.8)

                                         = 7.94 s

The average velocity of the object,

                                       V = (54 + 0)/2

                                           = 27 m/s

The displacement of the object,

                                 d = V x t   meter

                                    = 27 x 7.94

                                    = 214.38 m

Hence, the distance the object traveled during that acceleration is, a = 214.38 m

How does eclipses occur
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

When Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, a lunar eclipse takes place. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts two shadows. One is called the umbra; the other is called the penumbra. An eclipse takes place when Earth or the moon passes through a shadow.
