Answer:
-2.5m/s²
Explanation:
The acceleration of a body is giving by the rate of change of the body's velocity. It is given by
a = Δv / t ----------------(i)
Where;
a = acceleration (measured in m/s²)
Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity (measure in m/s)
t = time taken for the change (measured in seconds(s))
From the question;
i. initial velocity = 5m/s
final velocity = 0 [since the body (ball) comes to rest]
Δv = 0 - 5 = -5m/s
ii. time taken = t = 2s
<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>
a = (-5m/s) / (2s)
a = -2.5m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is -2.5m/s²
NB: The negative sign shows that the ball was actually decelerating.
Answer:
Approximately 
. (Assuming that 
, and that the tabletop is level.)
Explanation:
Weight of the book:
.
If the tabletop is level, the normal force on the book will be equal (in magnitude) to weight of the book. Hence, 
.
As a side note, the 
and 
on this book are not equal- these two forces are equal in size but point in the opposite directions.
When the book is moving, the friction 
on it will be equal to
, the coefficient of kinetic friction, times
, the normal force that's acting on it.
That is:
.
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. The friction here should act in the opposite direction of that 
applied force. The net force on the book shall be:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration of this book:
.
Here is the answer. The part of a thunderstorm that kills the <span> most people each year is the LIGHTNING. Thunder is only the sound created and will not hurt anyone, but it is the lightning that can kill anyone who will be struck by it. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!</span>
Force is found by multiplying mass (kg) and acceleration (m/s^2), so the metric unit of force is kg*m/s^2 or N (newtons)
