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.

Student one used bowling ball A in a bowling game against Student 2, who used bowling ball B. Use Newton’s Three Laws of Motion

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Newton’s Three Laws of Motion has a great impact.

Explanation:

Newton’s Three Laws of Motion has a great impact on the bowling game for the 2 students. When the student one throw ball to the student 2, the ball decrease its speed due to the gravity and opposing air. If these forces are removed from the system the ball will continue its motion till another force is applied on it. When the force applied to the ball it produces acceleration in the direction to the applied force. If the ball touches the ground it bounce back with equal force which is a reaction of the ground.

A storm is moving at 15 km/hr what to do to determine its velocity

WINSTONCH [101]

Check the current weather map for 2 different times, and see where the center of the storm is. That tells you what direction it's moving. With its speed and direction, you have its velocity.
