If we take v=u+at and our given values are:

v=final velocity 20m/s

u=initial velocity 15m/s

a=acceleration

t=time 5sec

we plug those into our equation:

20m/s=15m/s+a(5s)

now we just rearrange to solve for acceleration.

(5m/s)/(5s)=a

a=1m/s^2

hope this helps!

anyanavicka [17]

Galileo Galilei is one of the key figures in the history of Science, being the first to apply the experimental-mathematical scientific method. He carried out experiments and careful observations in kinematics (his studies on the trajectory of projectiles are famous) and dynamics (it should be noted his careful experiments with inclined planes), establishing the first law of Dynamics (which Newton will later collect and refine in his Principles); and in Astronomy, with which he could unequivocally support the heliocentric theory.

His experiments were addressed by methodologies that allowed him to precisely find his mathematical calculations and to verify theories he was developing over time. His manuscripts were key to disseminate the applied method and extrapolate them to other scientific areas.

Therefore the correct answer is C.

If the only forces acting on a 2.0kg mass are F1 = (3i-8j)N and F2 = (5i+3j)N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the
belka [17]

Answer: 4.7m/s²

Explanation:

According to newton's first law,

Force = mass × acceleration

Since we are given more the one force, we will take the resultant of the two vectors.

Mass = 2.0kg

F1+F2 = (3i-8j)+(5i+3j)

Adding component wise, we have;

F1+F2 = 3i+5i-8j+3j

F1+F2 = 8i-5j

Resultant of the sum of the forces will be;

R² = (8i)²+(-5j)²

Since i.i = j.j = 1

R² = 8²+5²

R² = 64+25

R² = 89

R = √89

R = 9.4N

Our resultant force = 9.4N

Substituting in the formula

F = ma

9.4 = 2a

a = 9.4/2

a = 4.7m/s²

Therefore, magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is 4.7m/s²
