A.  Acceleration is positive and speed is increasing.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The motion performed by a runner is part of a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration.

Equation used  

\tt \boxed{\bold{v_f=v_i+at}}  

vf = final velocity  

vi = vo = initial velocity  

When a runner moves from rest, his speed will increase from being at rest (vi=0) and then move with a constant acceleration(a), and as soon as he crosses the finish line his acceleration will decrease (experience a deceleration ⇒a=- ) and decrease his speed until it finally stops

Velocity and speed are different because velocity itself is a vector quantity that takes into account direction and displacement, while speed is a scalar quantity (only distance).

So the speed does not take positive or negative values because it involves direction, while acceleration takes positive and negative values (deceleration) because it takes direction.

The expected value for a chemical equation is 47g of water, after an experiment you find that you have 2.58 moles of water. What
strojnjashka [21]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Actual yield = 46.44 g

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

1 mole of water = 18 g/mol

Therefore;

The experimental yield = 2.58 moles

equivalent to ; 2.58 × 18 = 46.44 g

The theoretical value is 47 g

Percentage yield = 46.44/47 × 100%

                             = 98.8%

The questions asks for actual yield = 46.44 g
