Answer:
-2.5m/s²
Explanation:
The acceleration of a body is giving by the rate of change of the body's velocity. It is given by
a = Δv / t ----------------(i)
Where;
a = acceleration (measured in m/s²)
Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity (measure in m/s)
t = time taken for the change (measured in seconds(s))
From the question;
i. initial velocity = 5m/s
final velocity = 0 [since the body (ball) comes to rest]
Δv = 0 - 5 = -5m/s
ii. time taken = t = 2s
<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>
a = (-5m/s) / (2s)
a = -2.5m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is -2.5m/s²
NB: The negative sign shows that the ball was actually decelerating.
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material to one degree is called D. its heat capacity.
The relationship of the heat when applied to the object and the change in temperature of the object when heat is being applied is directly proportional to each other. This means that when heat is applied to the object, the temperature of the object increases and when heat is not applied to the object, the temperature of the object decreases.
The correct answer is amplitude
