Does fire have ways to protect itself from changes in the environment

I think no because the critical properties distinguishing life is adaptation to changing environment and self replication of the information encoding the life process. Fire does not change its process to adapt to its environment, e.g. moving toward more fuel or storing and conserving fuel when it is in short supply.

Hope this help you!:)

the bal will not change its velocity.

we're given that v₀ = 0 and a = 5.4 m/s². therefore, since v = at + v₀ for constant acceleration the equation for velocity is

after 28s,

m/s

which i would round to 150 m/s as my final answer
