Explanation:

initial velocity U = 20m/s

Final velocity V = 35m/s

time = 15.0 secs

change in velocity = 35 - 15

= 20m/s

acceleration a = change in velocity/time V/t

a = (35-20)/15

a= 15/15

Hence, your acceleration is 1m/s^2

The speed is 0.2 meter per minute.

There is not enough information given in the question to determine the velocity.

The similarities and the differences between gravitational and electric force are listed below

Explanation:

- The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

- Coloumb's law gives instead the strength of the electrostatic force between two charged objects, which is

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

By comparing the two equations, we find the following similarities:

Both the forces are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects, $F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$
Both the forces are proportional to the product between the "main quantity" of each force, which is the mass for the gravitational force ( $F\propto m_1 m_2$ ) and the charge for the electric force ( $F\propto q_1 q_2$

Instead, we have the following differences:

The gravitational force is always attractive, since the sign of $m$ is always positive, while the electric force can be either attractive or repulsive, since the sign of $q$ can be either positive or negative
The value of the gravitational costant G is much smaller than the value of the Coulomb's constant, so the gravitational force is much weaker than the electric force
