Answer:

The correct answer is 3.5 m/s²

Explanation:

To determine the average acceleration of the rock,

the change in velocity is divided by the time interval (in seconds)

change in velocity = V₂ - V₁

where V₁ is the initial velocity (2.0 m/s) and V₂ is the final velocity (44.0 m/s)

change in velocity = 44 - 2 = 42 m/s

The time interval is 12 seconds (no need for conversion as it is in seconds already)

average acceleration of the rock = 42 ÷ 12 = 3.5 m/s²

As this happens over twelve seconds, you would take the total difference in velocities and divide it by twelve to find the change per second

44.0 m/s - 2.0 m/s = 42.0 m/s 

42.0 m/s / 12 s = 3.5 m/s2

the acceleration of the rock would be 3.5 m/s2

puteri [66]

Answer:

C. A rubber rod and a glass rod charged this way have opposite charges on them.

Explanation:

When a rubber rod is rubbed against cat fur, it acquires a negative charge, it becomes negatively charged.

When you then try to bring two rubber rod's together, they repel because like charges repel.

Meanwhile, when you rub a glass rod against silk, it loses electrons to the silk material and becomes positively charged.

When you bring two positively charged glass rod's together, they repel, because like charges repel.

However, when you bring the rubber rod and a glass rod together, the attract each other because unlike/opposite charges attract.
