The apple is not accelerating. That's a big tip off that the net force acting on it is zero.
Answer:
a=3.53 m/s^2
Explanation:
Vo=0 m/s (because he is not moving at the start)
V1=15 m/s
t= 4.25 s
a = (V1-Vo) / t = 15/4.25 = 3.53 m/s^2
An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on anything. It is manipulated to determine the value of a dependent variable<span>. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation and the independent variables are the inputs to that measurement. Example: Time would always be an independent variable because nothing affects time, however, time can affect everything. </span>
