Answer:

Explanation:

Near the earth's surface where gravity is approximately 10 m/s² downward

v = u + at

v = 5 + (-10)(1) = -5 m/s

so it has the same speed but in the opposite (downward) direction.

How is the Sun related to nuclear electromagnetic and heat energy

Snezhnost [94]

-- The source of most of the energy that radiates from the sun is nuclear energy.

-- Most of the energy that radiates from the sun is electromagnetic energy.

-- Heat energy is part of the electromagnetic energy that radiates from the sun.
Other parts include radio, microwave, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-ray energy.

What makes the planets gravity?

anyanavicka [17]

The presence of mass makes gravity. Doesn't matter whether it's a planet, a black hole, a puppy, or a speck of dust.

<span>A van is traveling on a road at a speed of 55 km/h relative to a
stationary observer on the side of the road. A girl sitting near the
driver of the van throws a paper airplane to a boy at the back of the
van with a speed of 2 km/h relative to the girl, the boy, and the van.

The speed of the paper airplane, relative to the same stationary observer
on the side of the road, is (55 - 2) = 53 km/h. No rounding is necessary.</span>

Cole is riding a sled with initial speed of 5 m/s from west to east. the frictional force of 50 n exists due west. the mass of t

stepan [7]

We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where $F=-50 N$ is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{-50 N}{100 kg}=-0.5 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
$a= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}$
where
$v_f=0$ is the final speed of the sled
$v_i=5 m/s$ is the initial speed
$d$ is the distance covered

By rearranging the equation, we find d:
$d= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2a}= \frac{-(5 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot (-0.5 m/s^2)}=25 m$
