Answer:

c)

Explanation:

When a ball is tossed upward, it rises due to the initial velocity which points upward (so it is positive if we choose the upward direction as positive), but once released, the only force (neglecting air resistance) acting on the ball is gravity.

This force is due to the mass of the Earth, and produces an acceleration in the same direction than the force, which is always downward, so in this case is negative.

As it has opposite direction to the velocity, causes the ball to slow down until it reach to a point when momentarily comes to an stop, and then changes direction falling with negative velocity, so it speeds up as it has the same sign than acceleration, that it is always present.

At room temperature ice will melt while a brass lamp will stay as a solid. This must mean that the melting point of water is ___
UkoKoshka [18]
If solid, cold metal like brass doesn't melt at room temperature like ice does, than the bass can stand much more heat then a ice cube, so it needs to be hotter to melt, so the melting point of ice is lower then brass's melting point

What is Newton's Second Law?
Rudiy27

Answer:

An object's acceleration depends on its mass and on the net force acting on it.

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.
