A soccer ball accelerates from rest and rolls 6.5m down a hill in 3.1 s. It then bumps into a tree. What is the speed of the ball just before it hits the tree.

2.096m/s

Explanation:

The speed of this soccer ball can be calculated using the formula;

Speed = distance/time

According to this question, the distance of the ball before it hits the tree is 6.5m, the time it takes is 3.1s, hence;

Speed = 6.5/3.1

Speed of the ball = 2.096m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball before hitting the tree is 2.096m/s

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me
