Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed)
                            =        (2 m/a)  -  (8 m/a)  =  -6 m/a .

Time for the change = (end time) - (start time)
                                 =   (13 sec)  -  (10 sec)  =  3 sec .

Magnitude of acceleration =  (-6 m/a) / (3 sec)

                                          =       -2 m/a per second .
 
(That's the best I can do with the ambiguous units.
What unit of speed is 'm/a' ?  Is that "miles per afternoon" ?)

Two soccer players kick the same 1-kg ball at the same time in opposite directions. one kicks with a force of 20 n; the other ki

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
\sum F = ma (1)
where
the term on the left is the resultant of the forces acting on an object
m is the mass of the object
a is the acceleration of the object

The mass of the ball in this problem is m=1 kg. Two forces are applied, in opposite directions, of 20 N and 12 N, therefore the resultant of the forces is
\sum F= 20 N-12 N=8 N

Therefore, we can rearrange eq.(1) and use these data to find the acceleration of the ball:
a= \frac{\sum F}{m}= \frac{8 N}{1 kg}=8 m/s^2

Suppose that you lift four boxes individually, each at a constant velocity. The boxes have weights of 3.0 N, 4.0 N, 6.0 N, and 2
Alona [7]

Answer:

The vertical distance of weight 3.0 N = 4 m, vertical distance of weight 4.0 N = 3 m, vertical distance of weight 6.0 N = 2 m, vertical distance of weight 2.0 N = 6 m

Explanation:

Worked : work can be defined as the product of force and distance.

The S.I unit of work is Joules (J).

Mathematically it can be represented as,

W = F×d.................. Equation 1

d = W/F.............................. Equation 2

where W = work, F = force, d = distance.

<em>Given: W = 12 J</em>

(i) for the 3.0 N weight,

using equation 2

d = 12/3

d= 4 m.

(ii) for the 4.0 N weight,

d = 12/4

d = 3 m.

(iii) for the 6.0 N weight,

d = 12/6

d = 2 m.

(iv) for the 2.0 N weight,

d = 12/2

d = 6 m

Therefore vertical distance of weight 3.0 N = 4 m, vertical distance of weight 4.0 N = 3 m, vertical distance of weight 6.0 N = 2 m, vertical distance of weight 2.0 N = 6 m
