No, the speed at which an object falls is not equal to the acceleration at which it falls.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Speed is defined as how fast an object can cover a specific distance and in what time it covers. So it is measured as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, speed is a scalar quantity and acceleration is a vector quantity. So most of the times, the direction will play an important role in the varying values of speed and acceleration. Also, acceleration of an object will depend upon the force and mass of the object. Thus, speed and acceleration will not attain same value always.

At a certain instant an object is moving to the right with speed 1.0 m/s and has a constant acceleration to the left of 1.0 m/s2

professor190 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the object, u = 1 m/s

Acceleration of the object, $a=-1\ m/s^2$

We need to find the time when the object comes at rest (v=0). Let it is given by :

$t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}$

$t=\dfrac{0-1\ m/s}{-1\ m/s^2}$

t = 1 second

So, the object will comes to rest at 1 second. Hence, this is the required solution.

An object will be stable if __________.

ryzh [129]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Object will be stable if its center of gravity lies over its base of support.

If the center of gravity is above the center of buoyancy then it provides positive righting moment and the object floats over the liquid and such object is said to possess positive meta-centric height.
