We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
a'= \frac{2F}{ \frac{m}{2} } = \frac{4F}{m} = 4\frac{F}{m}
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

Allison is looking through a telescope at an object in space. The object looks like a very small planet, and it does not have a
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Allison is probably looking at the asteroid.

Explanation:

  • Asteroids are the giant gas balls of inner solar system that are present in the space.
  • Asteroids orbits around the sun in very irregular ans strange path unlike the other planets.
  • This is also the reason why it's called as the minor planets.
  • It could have been comet but if it had been a comets he must have seen the tail but asteroids do not have any tail like structure.

Which characteristic of a sound is affected by the amount of energy used to create that sound? In what direction the sound will
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

How loud or soft the sound is

Explanation:

The loudness of a sound wave is given by the amount of energy that the pressure wave carries and it is measured in decibels (dB) which is the relative intensity of the pressure wave of a sound to the standard pressure

A loud sound has a high amplitude and a soft sound has a low amplitude, such that as the amplitude of the sound is increased, due to increased energy input, the sound becomes louder, and as the amplitude of the sound is decreased due to reduced energy input, the sound becomes softer.
