This is an example of Uniform Speed
EXPLANATION
Uniform Speed => no change in speed
Uniform Accelerations Speed => There is a change in speed, but the acceleration remains the same.

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.
Answer:
Ben's average speed was twice Debby's average speed.
Explanation:
Ben covered a total distance of 16 miles (10+4+2) and Debby covered 8 miles (3+2+2+1) which is half of what Ben covered. As they both reached the place in the same amount of time it tells us Ben was faster.
To solve this problem, we should recall the law of
conservation of energy. That is, the heat lost by the aluminium must be equal
to the heat gained by the cold water. This is expressed in change in enthalpies
therefore:
- ΔH aluminium = ΔH water
where ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)
The negative sign simply means heat is lost. Therefore we
calculate for the mass of water (m):
- 0.5 (900) (20 – 200) = m (4186) (20 – 0)
m = 0.9675 kg
Using same mass of water and initial temperature, the final
temperature T of a 1.0 kg aluminium block is:
- 1 (900) (T – 200) = 0.9675 (4186) (T – 0)
- 900 T + 180,000 = 4050 T
4950 T = 180,000
T = 36.36°C
The final temperature of the water and block is 36.36°C
The answer is B.
Temperature is just another term for the average kinetic energy of a substance.
