Answer:
positive
Explanation:
The ball is rolling down with a negative velocity, but the velocity is slowing down. therefore the velocity must increase in order for the ball to slow down.
For example let the ball's initial velocity be -15 m/s. and it is slowing down to let's say -13 m/s. Well this means that it's velocity has increase by 2 m/s. So, its acceleration is positive.
More force is needed for more mass. Therefore, if the mass is greater and the force is not enough then the object will less likely accelerate
First, let's express the movement of Car A and B in terms of their position over time (relative to car B)
For car A: y=20x-200 Car A moves 20 meters every second x, and starts 200 meters behind car B
For Car B: y= 15x Car B moves 15 meters every second and starts at our basis point
Set the two equations equal to one another to find the time x at which they meet:
20x - 200 = 15x
200 = 5x
x= 40
At time x=40 seconds, the cars meet. How far will Car A have traveled at this time?
Car A moves 20 meters every second:
20 x 40 = 800 meters
The actual answer is 7/100
