Answer:

The distance, d travelled by the ball is 768 metres.

Explanation:

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of final speed from the initial speed all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the final speed from the initial speed and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{initial \; speed  -  final \; speed}{time}

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Where,

a is acceleration measured in ms^{-2}

v and u is initial and final speed respectively, measured in ms^{-1}

t is time measured in seconds.

Given the following data;

Acceleration = 12.0m/s²

Time, t = 8secs

Velocity =?

First, we would calculate its velocity;

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Since the ball rolls at rest, initial velocity is zero (0).

V = a * t

V = 12 * 8

Velocity = 96ms^{-1}

We can now solve for the distance;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Therefore,

Distance = velocity * time

Distance = 96 * 8

Distance = 768m.

32f. That's because the force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. So you get 2•(1/1/4)^2=2•16=32

What is the difference between three types of mechanical waves?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

In longitudinal waves, particles travel in the direction parallel to that of the wave motion where as in transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion and in surface waves, particles in the medium move in a circular motion.A good example of longitudinal waves is sound waves. Vibrating a string on the ground can serve as an example of transverse wave.For surface waves, the ocean waves travelling on the surface can illustrate the cicular movement of particles in the water.
