Answer:

-31.1 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is calculated as:

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

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Acceleration is a vector, so it is important to also take into account the direction of the velocity.

For the particle in this problem, we have:

u = +48 m/s is the initial velocity (positive direction)

v = -92 m/s is the final velocity (negative direction)

t = 4.5 s is the time interval

Therefore, the average acceleration is

a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{-92-(+48)}{4.5}=-31.1 m/s^2

O'Malley is riding on a bus which is moving at 10 m/s, and he throws a ball which he observes to be moving at 10 m/s relative to
Vikki [24]

Answer:

<em>20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Relative Motion </u>

Objects movement is always related to some reference. If you are moving at a constant speed, all the objects moving with you seem to be at rest from your reference, but they are moving at the same speed as you by an external observer.

If we are riding on a bus at 10 m/s and throw a ball which we see moving at 10 m/s in our same direction, then an external observer (called Ophelia) will see the ball moving at our speed plus the relative speed with respect to us, that is, at 20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.
