Physics {deceleration}
seropon [69]
Using kinematic equation, v^2 - u^2 = 2as. 5^2 - 3^2 = 2a x 16. a = 0.5m/s^2. So particle will deaccelerate at 0.5m/s^2. ( v = final velocity, u= initial velocity, a= acceleration, s= displacement.)

An object on earth weighs 120 N. What is it’s mass ?
inna [77]
Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

120 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Mass = (120 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

Mass = 12.24 kg  (B)
