F = ma
6.25 N = 0.4 kg · a
a = (6.25/0.4) m/s² since N=kg·m/s²
a = 15.625 m/s²
The answer is c) 15.6 m/s²
(Note that the mass of the soccer player is irrelevant.)
Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time <em>t</em> is
A: <em>x</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em>
and car B has position at time <em>t</em> of
B: <em>x</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
<em />
They meet when their positions are equal:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m
<em>t</em> = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s
so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.
They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> - (100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>) = 100 m
(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 200 m
<em>t</em> = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s
so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.
Answer:
it makes the object speed increase, decrease and change the direction of the object.
Hope it helps!
