Describe your acceleration as you skate down your neighborhood sidewalk.

when you increase or decrease your speed.

Explanation:

Moving a skate at rest, you need to apply force in order to cause acceleration.

F = ma Where

F = force applied

m = mass of the skate

a = acceleration

The initial velocity u will be equal to zero and the skate will acceleration to a certain velocity.

as you skate down your neighborhood sidewalk, you will accelerate when you increase your speed. Because

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. That is,

Acceleration = change in velocity/ time.

And also, you will decelerate when you reduce the speed or velocity down your neighborhood sidewalk.

where is the photo and the answer choices?

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
