The earth's gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, and force = mass * acceleration. Therefore, a bag of sugar weighing 2.2 kg on earth would weigh 2.2 * 9.8 = 21.56 Newtons
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
- 4.1 m/s² = (-9 m/s) / (time for the change)
Time for the change = (-9 m/s) / (-4.1 m/s²) = 2.2 seconds
Answer: When enough __energy__ is added to the substance, the solid reaches its _melting_ point and becomes a liquid
Explanation: since energy is being added the substance changes phase into a liquid .
The feather's vertical position
is determined by

We take the feather's starting position to be the origin, and the downward direction to be positive. Then

so the answer is D.
