is this true or false? an object with a mass of 9.0kg has an acceleration of 3m/s2. the force acting on it is 3N

The answer is "False". The force acting on the object is 27 N.

According to Newton's second law, when a force <em>F</em> acts on am object of mass <em>m</em>, it produces an acceleration <em>a</em>. The force is given by the expression,

F=ma

Thus, if the body has a mass of 9.0 kg and if it has an acceleration of 3 m/s², then, on substituting the values in the equation for force,

F=ma\\ =(9.0kg)(3m/s^2)\\ =27N

Thus, it can be seen that the force acting on the body is 27 N and not 3 N as is mentioned in the statement. Hence the statement is false.

Which part of a river would have animals with very muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water? Source z
lidiya [134]
The part of a river that would have animals with muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water is in the transition zone, the mid-transition zone to be precise. Water at the source zone possesses a lot of potential energy and as it flows from the upper reaches the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy when the course of the river begins to gradually level out and this translates into increase in velocity. By the time river water reaches the middle of the transition zone, most of the potential energy would have been turned into kinetic energy and thus water velocity would be quite high here. Animals living here would develop muscles because of constantly fighting against the strong current to avoid being swept downstream.

There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.
