Answer:

Average speed, over the first 4.0 s of its motion, of a pebble released from rest off a bridge = 19.6 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case the initial velocity of body = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ , we need to calculate displacement when t = 4 seconds.

Substituting

$S=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*4^2\\ \\ S=78.4 meter$

So a distance of 78.4 meter has been traveled by pebble in 4 seconds.

Average speed = 78.4/4 = 19.6 m/s

How do surface currents affect climate

Bumek [7]

Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Therefore, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.

A skater slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. She slows 10 points

zvonat [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s

She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.

We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2as$
