Physics

Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The acceleration tells us how the speed changes per unit of time. If we say a body has a negative acceleration we are saying that its speed decreases over time.

If a body has a positive initial velocity and a negative acceleration: the velocity decreases. On the contrary, if the automobile has a negative initial velocity (in the opposite direction) and a negative acceleration: the velocity is increasing. Thus, an accelerating automobile starting from rest can have a negative acceleration.

Bess [88]

Answer:

The influence of Media and Information over elections, politics and, governance.    

Explanation:

Once we used to have politicians travel to interact with citizens and meet them face to face. That is slowly fading away in place of townhalls that take place online.

Video conferencing, video calls, social media apps, and technology now make it easy to connect with a lot of people at once, across various timezones, without changing location.

Once upon a time, the Television media, Radio Media, Cable Television (all categorized as traditional media) used to be the custodian of information, hence, the chief influencers of politics and governance.

Today, the internet has made it possible for individuals or a group of people without much tech-spend to set up and garner a following that has enough power to influence governance.

Online petitions and Wikileaks, the proliferation of terrorist organizations that have strong information and technology as well as social media skills have modified forever, the way public office holders and other stakeholders involved used to look at governance.

What happens to the speed of an object when dropped at free fall
dedylja [7]

If it's not falling through air, water, smoke, or anything else,
and gravity is the only force on it, then its speed increases
at a constant rate ... 9.8 meters per second for every second
it falls.  (That's the number on Earth.  It's different in other places.)

Select the correct answer. x y 2.5 6.25 9.4 88.36 15.6 243.63 19.5 380.25 25.8 665.64 The table lists the values for two paramet
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: B. 16

Explanation:

The given table:

x y

2.5 6.25

9.4 88.36

15.6 243.63

19.5 380.25

25.8 665.64

Here, we observed that value of y is the square value of x.

i.e. y=x^2  [For example 2.5²=6.25, 9.4²=88.36, 15.6²=243.63]

Put x=4, we get

y=4^2=16

Hence, the approximate value of y for x = 4 is 16.

So, the correct option is B. 16 .
