When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls
Answer:
acceleration = 0.2625 m/s²
Explanation:
acceleration = ( final velocity - initial velocity ) / time
Here the final velocity is 10.6 m/s and initial velocity is 6.4 m/s and time is 16 s.
using the equation:
acceleration = ( 10.6 - 6.4 ) / 16
= 0.2625 m/s²
D is the wrong answer. New information does often completely change the theory. Its hard to change something and leave the major theory intact.
Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.
