The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.

posledela

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf a = 5 \ ms^{-2}}

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Force = f = 60 N

Mass = m = 12 kg

<u>Required:</u>

Acceleration = a = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

F = ma

<u>Solution:</u>

Rearranging formula

a = F / m

a = 60 / 12

a = 5 ms⁻²

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Quinn accelerates her skateboard along a straight path from 0 m/s to 4.0 m/s
umka2103 [35]
  • initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Final velocity=v=4m/s
  • Time=t=2.5s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{4-0}{2.5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{4}{2.5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=1.6m/s^2
