The mass is 20 kg, initial speed is 30 m/s and the final speed is 0 m/s (rest), 
while the force is 15 N
Using second newton's law of motion which states that the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the resultant force. Then
 Ft = MV-MU
15 t = 20 (0-3)
15t = -60
  t = -4 sec ( negative because the force is acting on opposite direction to the motion)
Therefore, the time taken is 4 seconds

Why is temperature scalar?
shepuryov [24]
Temperature is just a measure of how HOT or COLD a substance is, which can be easily defined by a magnitude using a numerical value say “300 K” or “27°C”. Hence we can say it is a scalar quantity.

But the energy which transfer by virtue of a temperature difference is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction of motion (from High temperature to low temperature region).

Describe an object’s motion when balanced forces act on it
Alinara [238K]

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal

Will mark as brainliest if correct!!!!!!!!
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.

Explanation:

Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the  bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by  the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to  angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses
