Answer:

Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition. It's most common in some developing regions of the world where babies and children have a diet that lacks protein and other essential nutrients. The main sign of kwashiorkor is too much fluid in the body's tissues, which causes swelling under the skin (oedema).

A ball is thrown at the ground from the top of a tall building. The speed of the ball in meters per second is v(t)=9.8t+v0, were

Answer:

$V_0=2.7m/s$

Explanation:

The speed of the ball in meters per second is

$V(t)=9.8t+V_0$

Where t denotes the number of seconds since the ball has been thrown and $V_0$ is the initial speed of the ball. Then:

$V(2)=9.8(2)+V_0\\\\V(2)=19.6+V_0$

If the ball travels 25 meters during the first 2 seconds after it is thrown, what was the initial speed of the ball

Also, for constant acceleration motion, the average velocity is equal to the sum of final and initial velocities divided by 2 and to the distance divided by the time:

$\dfrac{V(t)+V_0}{2}=\dfrac{d}{t}$
