Acceleration can be any change in speed, increasing or decreasing.
You haven't said whether the ball is speeding up or slowing down.
If its acceleration is positive ... speed is increasing ... then in 2.5 seconds,
it GAINS (0.5 m/s² x 2.5 sec) = 2.5 m/s of speed. Added to its initial
speed of 2.0 m/s, it ends up moving at 4.5 m/s.
If its acceleration is negative ... speed is decreasing ... then in 2.5 seconds,
it LOSES (0.5 m/s² x 2.5 sec) = 2.5 m/s of speed. Added to its initial
speed of 2.0 m/s, it ends up moving at -0.5 m/s. That means that it ends up
moving in the opposite direction compared to its direction at the beginning of
the change.
Yes, all of these could be applied to a roller coaster.
Distance = (speed) x (time)
Distance = (20 m/s) x (500 s)
Distance = (20 x 500) (m·s / s)
Distance = 10,000 m
Answer:
C) 40 N/m
Explanation:
If we ASSUME that the spring is un-stretched at the zero cm position
k = F/Δx = 10/0.25 = 40 N/m
Maybe this will help you out:
Momentum is calculate by the formula:
Where:
P = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
The SI unit:
So the unit of momentum would be:
Impulse is defined as the change in momentum or how much force changes momentum. It can be calculate with the formula:
I = FΔt
where:
I = impulse
F = Force
Δt = change in time
The SI unit:
F = Newtons (N) or 
t = Seconds (s)
So the unit of impulse would be derived this way:
I = FΔt
I = x 
or
You can then cancel out one s each from the numerator and denominator and you'll be left with:
So then:
Momentum: Impulse
