Answer:
i)-6.25m/s
ii)18 metres
iii)26.5 m/s or 95.4 km/hr
Explanation:
Firstly convert 90km/hr to m/s
90 × 1000/3600 = 25m/s
(i) Apply v^2 = u^2 + 2As...where v(0m/s) is the final speed and u(25m/s) is initial speed and also s is the distance moved through(50 metres)
0 = (25)^2 + 2A(50)
0 = 625 + 100A....then moved the other value to one
-625 = 100A
Hence A = -6.25m/s^2(where the negative just tells us that its deceleration)
(ii) Firstly convert 54km/hr to m/s
In which this is 54 × 1000/3600 = 15m/s
then apply the same formula as that in (i)
0 = (15)^2 + 2(-6.25)s
-225 = -12.5s
Hence the stopping distance = 18metres
(iii) Apply the same formula and always remember that the deceleration values is the same throughout this question
0 = u^2 + 2(-6.25)(56)
u^2 = 700
Hence the speed that the car was travelling at is the,square root of 700 = 26.5m/s
In km/hr....26.5 × 3600/1000 = 95.4 km/hr
Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.
Explanation:
Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:
F = m*a
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Then if the weight is:
Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:
Wx = m*a
Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.
Then, isolating a in that equation we get:
Wx/m = a
Then the correct option is:
B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
Desertification is usually defined as the process by which a productive land is transformed into a desert. This process occurs mainly in the arid, semi-arid as well as in the dry sub-humid areas, where there occurs less amount of rainfall and presence of less or no moisture content in the air.
It is caused by various processes, such as-
- Cutting down of trees, in order to make urban areas.
- Low level of groundwater.
- Forest-fire can also lead to desertification, as the trees are burned by this process.
- Soil erosion also is a major cause.
- It also occurs due to changes that occur in the climate of the area.
Thus, the above-given statement is true.
