Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s

according to newton's second law of motion of the net force acting on the object increases while the mass of the object remains
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The Acceleration will increase

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of motion: It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes places along the direction of the force.

It can be expressed mathematically as,

F ∝ m(v-u)/t

Where (v-u)/t = a

F  = kma.

F = force, m = mass of the body, a = acceleration, k = constant of proportionality which tend to unity for a unit force, a unit mass, and a unit acceleration.

Therefore,

F = ma.

From the equation above,

If the net force acting on a body increase, while the mass of the body remains constant, the acceleration will also increase.

Describe the differences among ultraviolet waves, visible light waves, and infrared waves. how are these waves alike?
sergeinik [125]
Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). ... The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency.

Why do plants not need digistive system
WINSTONCH [101]
Humans need a digestive system to do cellular respiration, which produces energy used for growth and movement.

Plants do not need one as they make their own energy through photosynthesis. The process produces glucose, which is a form of energy for the plants.
