Anastasy [175]

<u>Answer </u>

4.The objects have the same acceleration

<u>Explanation </u>

Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration acquired by an object when falling freely.

Under normal conditions, different objects has different accelerations depending on their mass and surface area. This is brought about by the air resistance they experience as they fall.

The case is difference when they the experiment is carried out in a controlled condition. That is in vacuum. I this case the acceleration of the objects is the same.

Megan walks 1100 m to the left in 330s. What was her average speed in m/s?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

3.33m/s

Explanation:

Speed is the change in distance of a body with respect to time.

Speed = Distance/Time

Given

Distance = 1100m

Time = 330s

Speed = 1100/330

Speed = 3.33m/s

Hence her average speed in m/s is 3.33m/s
