Answer:
1.06 metres per second squared
Explanation:
since friction acts against foward force
20 N - 4 N = 16 N
use Newtons 2nd law F=ma Solve for a:
a= F÷m
= 16 ÷ 15
= 1.06 metres per second squared
The correct answer you're looking for would be Theories.
Let
be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time
is given by

where
is the acceleration due to gravity.
The ball reaches the ground when
after
. Solve for
:


so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).
Work done = force x distance = 40 x 2 = 80 Joules.
