This may shock you:

We NEVER feel speed, velocity, or motion, as long as it's constant.

We only feel CHANGES in speed, velocity, or motion.

That means speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

As long as we're moving in a straight line at a constant speed, we don't feel anything.

A graph of real speed can have a section that's as steep as you want,
but it can never be a perfectly vertical section.

Any vertical line on a graph, even it it's only a tiny tiny section, means
that at that moment in time, the speed had many different values.

It also means that the speed took no time to change from one value to
another, and THAT would mean infinite acceleration.

A force of 20N changes the position of a body. If mass of the body is 2kg, find the acceleration produced in the body.2. A ball

shepuryov [24]

Explanation:

Hello there!!!

You just need to use simple formula for force and momentum, 

F= m.a

and momentum (p)= m.v

where m= mass

v= velocity.

a= acceleration .

And the solutions are in pictures. 

Hope it helps..

If a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that th

olga55 [171]

Answer:

f1= -350cm or -3.5m

f2= 22.1cm or 0.221m

Explanation:

A person is nearsighted when the person's far point is less than infinity. A diverging lens is normally used to correct this eye defect. A diverging lens has a negative focal length as seen in the solution attached.

Farsightedness is when a person's near point is farther than 25cm. This eye defect is corrected using a converging lens. The focal length of a converging lens is positive. This is evident in the solution attached. The near point is also referred to as the least distance of distinct vision.

Explain why secondary succession usually occurs more rapidly than primary succession.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

As it mostly occurs on a surface where an ecosystem has previously existed. Primary succession only occurs on a surface where no ecosystem existed ever before!
