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.

John runs 120 meters in 10 seconds and then runs back to where he started in another 10 seconds. Which statement is true? Rememb
atroni [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

<em>A. His speed is 0 m/s </em>

<em>B. His velocity is 12 m/s </em>

<em>C. His velocity is 0 m/s </em>

<em>D. His acceleration is 12 m/s</em>

Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters

Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s

<em>Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>

      = 240/20 = 12 m/s

Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.

The correct option is B.
