The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .
If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .
(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)
Step 1: list known info
distance(change in position (Δx))= 18m+22m= 40m
time= 20 seconds
Step 2 :solve for velocity
velocity= Δx÷time
v= 40/20= 2m/s
Answer: the velocity is 2 meters per a second (m/s)
Answer:
the inertia provides the tendency to maintain speed and keep moving
Answer:
Explanation:
Force - frictional Force = m * a
20N - 5N = 5 * a
15N = 5*a
15N / 5 = a
a = 3 m/s^2
You should note a couple of things.
1. The frictional Force always opposes the direction of motion. In this case it is minus and the 20 N is plus. It makes the acceleration less. If the friction force was not there then 20 N = m * a
20N = 5 kg * a
a = 20/5
a = 4 m/s^2.
