To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion, specifically that of acceleration. Acceleration can be defined as the change of speed in an instant of time, mathematically this is

\vec{a} = \frac{\vec{v_2}-\vec{v_1}}{\Delta t}

If a mobile is decreasing its speed (it is slowing down), then its acceleration is in the opposite direction to the movement. This would imply that the acceleration vector is opposite to the velocity vector.

Therefore the correct answer is B.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Mid-ocean ridges

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Sea-floor spreading is the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor.
  • Mid-ocean ridge is an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced at a divergent plate boundary.
  • Mid ocean ridge occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

The speed of a car increases uniformly from 6 m/s to 42 m/s in 9 second calculate the acceleration of the car​
djyliett [7]

The acceleration of the car​ which changes the speed uniformly is 4 m/s²

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the rate change of velocity with time.

acceleration a = (Δv) / (Δt)

Given is the initial velocity 6m/s and final velocity 42m/s, the time take fir this change in speed is 9s.

Substitute the values, we have

a = (42-6)/9

a = 36/9

a =4 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration is 4 m/s²

A clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]
jarptica [38.1K]

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So if there's no air resistance, the speed of a falling object
always increases by 9.8 m/s for every second it falls.

             Speed  =  (original speed) + (gravity  x  falling time)

-- If it has no vertical speed when it started, then at the end
of 3 seconds, its speed is

                         =       (0)            + (9.8 m/s²  x  3 sec)

                       Velocity  =  29.4 m/s downward .
