Think of a skateboarder riding down a hill. Once the skateboarder reaches the bottom of the hill, if she does not manually add m
ivanzaharov [21]

From first law of motion, law of inertia, we know that an object remains in the state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. The skateboard riding down a hill when reaches the bottom slows down due to <u>frictional force </u>acting in the opposite direction. Frictional force is a contact force which acts between two surfaces against the direction of  motion of one surface over the other. Here, frictional force acts <u>between skateboard and ground</u>. This reduces the speed of the skateboard and it eventually stops.

An object has a position given by r = [2.0 m + (5.00 m/s)t] i^ + [3.0m−(2.00 m/s2)t2] j^, where all quantities are in SI units.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Acceleration of the object is 4\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

It is given that, the position of the object is given by :

r=[2\ m+(5\ m/s)t]i+[3\ m-(2\ m/s^2)t^2]j

Velocity of the object, v=\dfrac{dr}{dt}

Acceleration of the object is given by :

a=\dfrac{d^2r}{dt^2}

a=\dfrac{d^2}{dt^2}([2\ m+(5\ m/s)t]i+[3\ m-(2\ m/s^2)t^2]j)

Using the property of differentiation, we get :

a=\dfrac{d^2r}{dt^2}=-4\ m/s^2

So, the magnitude of the acceleration of the object at time t = 2.00 s is 4\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
