Suppose you are holding a basketball while standing still on a skateboard. You and the skateboard have a mass of 50 kg. You throw the basketball with a force of 10 N. What is your acceleration before?

Just use Newton's Second Law: F=ma. Solving for acceleration: a = F/m

Acceleration is against the direction of motion?
suppose when we apply brakes to a car in motion then the speed of the car decreases which means the acceleration is backwards but the car is still running in the forward direction
What force that can change when acceleration due to gravity changes?
I suppose you are asking about what forces change when acceleration due to gravity changes. In this case, the formula for forces concerning acceleration due to gravity is as such: fg=mg. When acceleration due to gravity(g) changes, it affects the force of gravity which is also known as the weight of the object. This is shown as fg.
What is the frame of reference for position speed and acceleration?
The frame of reference with regard to postion, speed and acceleration is just your perspective in measuring speed, position, or acceleration. Say you are watching a horse and a train moving alongside each other in the same direction. If you are standing on still ground, you observe the horse and the train moving at a certain speed relative to you. Let's assume this speed is three meters per second. Now suppose you are on the train looking at the horse, which is still moving at the same speed in the same direction. You will see the horse moving at zero meters per second relative to you, because both you and the horse are moving at the same speed. Even though you are both moving, the horse will still move along side you as if you and the horse are standing perfectly still.

Suppose you plot the distance traveled by an object at various times and you discover that the graph is not a straight line what does this indicate about the object acceleration?
It means that the object was accelerating or decelerating at least part of the time.
Does an object's speed increase even if acceleration decreases?
Acceleration is nothing but rate of increase in velocity. If acceleration at the time is positive velocity will increase independent of acceleration in past. Suppose you are moving at 5m/s at t=0. Acceleration is 5m/s2 initially. At t = 1 your velocity will be 10m/s. If acceleration became 3m/s2, then your velocity at t = 2 will be 13m/s. Thus your velocity still increased but comparatively lesser in amount. Now if acceleration became -8m/s2, velocity at t = 3 will be 5m/s, thus velocity decrease due to negative acceleration.
Suppose the force F doubles what will happen to the acceleration?
acceleration doubles too.
How was the wheel used daily?
I suppose you like riding in a car or on a bicycle. A skateboard also counts. They have wheels.
Suppose a can after an initial kick moves up along a smooth hill of ice. Why will it have the same acceleration both up the hill and down the hill?
It doesn't. Going up it has the acceleration from the kick minus acceleration due to gravity. Going down it just has acceleration due to gravity. I suppose it could be the same if the former equaled 9.8 m/s
Suppose velocity is measured kmhr and time is measured in hourswhat is that unit of acceleration?
If velocity is km/hr and time is in hours then acceleration will be in km/hr2
When a acceleration unifromly from rest which quantity increase with timeaccelerationvelocity or disstance traveled?
suppose that 5he acceleration of acar increase with time could we use v=v0+at

What are popular Asian sports?
Badminton, baseball, soccer, table tennis, and I suppose basketball is of average popularity.
Suppose that an object is traveling along a straight line Suppose that its velocity function is given by vt equals 4t2 -8t where t is in seconds Find the objects average acceleration along the time?
The object's instantaneous acceleration is (8t - 8) at any time.We can't calculate the average acceleration, because you haven't defined a periodof time over which to average it. We need the start and finish times in order tofind an average.
Is it a technical foul if defensive players touches the basketball while inn the hands of the offensive player?
uhm no!!!!!!!! its called playing basketball! that's what your suppose to do. as long as they don't hit the person while trying to get the basketball then its not even a foul

What are the two ways on how to reach a book in the library?
Basically, you reach for a book in the library with your hand. So i suppose the two ways are; 'standing on the floor' or 'standing on a ladder' if the book is on a high shelf.
What happens if the forces on an object are balanced and the object is standing still?
I suppose the forces may crush the object, but they won't move it.
