When a ball rolls down an incline, it gains speed but its acceleration remains constant. Is this true? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


Yes, it's true if the incline is free from obstructions and air drag is negligible. To say the ball's acceleration is constant is to say the force acting along the plane remains unchanged. This makes the ball gain the same amount of speed each succeeding second.

If there is a difference of 15° of longitude for each hour of time, how much difference in time is there for 1° of longitude? for 1r of longitude?

You may not always have a time zone map available, but by remembering the relationship of 1 hour for every 15° of longitude, you can easily calculate the difference in time between places. Indicating and using the standard meridians to determine time zones, solve the following problems. What will be an ideal response?
