<span>Acceleration is the rate of
change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of
all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's
second law of motion. Calculations of such is straightforward, if we are given
the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. However, we are not given these values. We are only left by using the kinematic equation expressed as:
d = v0t + at^2/2
We cancel the term with v0 since it is initially at rest,
d = at^2/2
44 = a(6.2)^2/2
a = 2.3 m/s^2

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Distance = (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)
We want to see how the time will be affected
if ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '. D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Multiply each side by 2 : 2 D = g t²
Divide each side by ' g ' : 2 D/g = t²
Square root each side: t = √ (2D/g)
Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:
-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .--
They don't change by the same factor, because 1/g is inside the square root. So 't' changes the same amount as √1/g does.
Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6 the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.
So we expect ' t ' to increase by √6 = 2.45 times.
It would take the same bottle (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.
A. Physics has changed the course of the world.
Answer:
Explanation:
Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.
Energy is the ability to do work by a body. They are of two forms, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is due to the position of a body whereas kinetic energy is due to the motion of a body.
Motion is the change in position of a body with time.
Temperature, energy and motion are all related.
Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is concerned about the motion particles. This form of energy results from heat changes in a body which causes temperature differences.
When a body is heat and changes temperature, the particles begins to vibrate as they gain, thermal energy, a form of kinetic energy. At a point, the particles will break lose and set in motion.
Answer:
Weight is a force.
Explanation:
Force acting on an object is defined in terms of mass and its acceleration. Its mathematical force is given by
F = ma
Weight of an object is force that the Earth exerts on an object. It can be given by the formula as follows :
W = mg
g is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth
Hence, the correct option is (d).
