So, the speed of the ball after 2 seconds after free fall is <u>20 m/s</u>.

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! I'm Deva from Brainly Indonesia. In this material, we can call this event "Free Fall Motion". There are two conditions for free fall motion, namely falling (from top to bottom) and free (without initial velocity). Because the question only asks for the final velocity of the ball, in fact, we may use the formula for the relationship between acceleration and change in velocity and time. In general, this relationship can be expressed in the following equation :

$\boxed{\sf{\bold{a = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{t}}}}$

With the following conditions :

a = acceleration (m/s²)
$\sf{v_2}$ = speed after some time (m/s)
$\sf{v_1}$ = initial speed (m/s)
t = interval of time (s)

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

a = acceleration = 9,8 m/s² >> because the acceleration of a falling object is following the acceleration of gravity (g).
$\sf{v_1}$ = initial speed = 0 m/s >> the keyword is free fall
t = interval of time = 2 s

What was asked :

$\sf{v_2}$ = speed after some time = ... m/s

Step by step :

$\sf{a = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{t}}$

$\sf{(a \times t) + v_1 = v_2}$

$\sf{(10 \times 2) + 0 = v_2}$

$\boxed{\sf{v_2 = 20 \: m/s}}$

So, the speed of the ball after 2 seconds after free fall is 20 m/s.

You pull a block of mass m across across a frictionless table with a constant force. you also pull with an equal constant force

KiRa [710]

For any mass m:

a = F/m
v = √2*F/m*s = √2F/sm = k/√m
Momentum = mv = k√m
Energy = 1/ mv² = 1/2 m.k²/m = 1/2k²

SO
Both will have same energy
The larger mass will have greater momentum

Answer:

$\theta=15.70^\circ$

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed, in which the vertical elevation is the opposite cathetus and the horizontal distance is the adjacent cathetus, since we know these two values, we can calculate the angle of inclination using the definition of tangent:

$tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}\\\theta=arctan(\frac{opp}{adj})\\\theta=arctan(\frac{28.1m}{100m})\\\theta=15.70^\circ$

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The component of acceleration perpendicular to an object’s velocity tells us How the object’s direction changes.

Explanation:

This acceleration is called radial/tangential acceleration. It is the reason why a body moving in circular motion with constant velocity can be said to also be accelerating because its direction is continuously changing. The acceleration is usually directed towards the centre of the circular motion of the body or trying to throw the body off its circular motion path.
