<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

Have a nice day!

In the graph, which region shows nonuniform positive acceleration?
cricket20 [7]

Answer: A.AB

Explanation:

This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.

As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:

OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.

AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>

BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.

CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.

From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:

Segment AB

What’s the mathematical relation between them
Gekata [30.6K]

Explanation:

there is no relationship between small mass and the bigger mass, but it can be related with the acceleration. Since Force is constant, acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass. Greater the mass, lesser is the acceleration and vise versa
