The sun is just one of the uncountable stars in the universe, as there are more than billions of galaxies containing billions of stars.
<span>d.rotating counterclockwise and slowing down
This is a matter of understanding the notation and conventions of angular rotations. Positive rotations are counter clockwise and negative rotations are clockwise. An easy way to remember this is the "right hand rule". Make a closed fist with your right hand and have the thumb sticking outwards. If you orient your thumb such that it's pointing in the direction of the positive value along the axis, your fingers will be curled in the positive rotational direction. So in the described scenario, the sphere is rotating in the positive direction (counter clockwise) and decelerating due to the negative angular acceleration. That immediately indicates that options "a", "b", and "e" are wrong since they mention the sphere going clockwise at the beginning. Of the two remaining options "c" and "d", we can discard option "c" since it has the rotation speeding up, and that leaves us with option "d" where the sphere is rotating counter clockwise and slowing down.</span>
Answer:
A
Explanation:
We know the force is (16N-12), which is 4N, and we know the acceleration is 2 m/s^2. Meaning, we can solve the formula m = F / a (mass equals force divided by acceleration), and we get 2kg.
