The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.
Answer:
a)
a = 2 [m/s^2]
b)
a = 1.6 [m/s^2]
c)
xt = 2100 [m]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. But first we must identify what kind of movement is being studied.
a)
When the car moves from rest to 40 [m/s] by 20 [s], it has a uniformly accelerated movement, in this way we can calculate the acceleration by means of the following equation:

where:
Vf = final velocity = 40 [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 0 (starting from rest)
a = acceleration [m/s^2]
t = time = 20 [s]
40 = 0 + (a*20)
a = 2 [m/s^2]
The distance can be calculates as follows:

where:
x1 = distance [m]
40^2 = 0 + (2*2*x1)
x1 = 400 [m]
Now the car maintains its speed of 40 [m/s] for 30 seconds, we must calculate the distance x2 by means of the following equation, it is important to emphasize that this movement is at a constant speed.
v = x2/t2
where:
x2 = distance [m]
t2 = 30 [s]
x2 = 40*30
x2 = 1200 [m]
b)
Immediately after a change of speed occurs, such that the previous final speed becomes the initial speed, the new Final speed corresponds to zero, since the car stops completely.

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the car is stopping, i.e. slowing down.
0 = 40 - (a *25)
a = 40/25
a = 1.6 [m/s^2]
The distance can be calculates as follows:

0 = (40^2) - (2*1.6*x3)
x3 = 500 [m]
c)
Now we sum all the distances calculated:
xt = x1 + x2 + x3
xt = 400 + 1200 + 500
xt = 2100 [m]

Answer:
atoms cannot go bad
Explanation:
Because they stay alive and get good nutriants
Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.
