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.

Speed of violet light in vacuum
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Explanation: Light travels at approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum, which has a refractive index of 1.0, but it slows down to 225,000 kilometers per second in water (refractive index of 1.3; see Figure 2) and 200,000 kilometers per second in glass (refractive index of 1.5).

If 500 cal of heat are added to a gas, and the gas expands doing 500 J of work on its surroundings, what is the change in the in
poizon [28]

Answer:

The change in the internal energy of the gas 1,595 J

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics establishes that in an isolated system energy is neither created nor destroyed, but undergoes transformations; If mechanical work is applied to a system, its internal energy varies; If the system is not isolated, part of the energy is transformed into heat that can leave or enter the system; and finally an isolated system is an adiabatic system (heat can neither enter nor exit, so no heat transfer takes place.)

This is summarized in the expression:

ΔU= Q - W

where the heat absorbed and the work done by the system on the environment are considered positive.

Taking these considerations into account, in this case:

  • Q= 500 cal= 2,092 J (being 1 cal=4.184 J)
  • W=500 J

Replacing:

ΔU= 2,092 J - 500 J

ΔU= 1,592 J  whose closest answer is 1,595 J
