Answer:
It cancels recoil.
Explanation:
For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.
The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.
The speed change : Δv = 0.41 m/s
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
mass = 5.5 kg
Force = 15 N
time = 0.15 s
Required
the speed change
Solution
Newton 2nd's law
Impulse and momentum
F = m.a
F = m . Δv/t
F.t = m.Δv
Input the value :
15 N x 0.15 s = 5.5 kg x Δv
Δv = 0.41 m/s
The answer is d, gravity is the only force acting on the object
Answer:
0 (there is no speed)
Explanation:
If an object is at rest, it is not moving, and it doesn't have a speed, so the speed is zero.
