Not so fast.

I think you're using 'accelerating' to mean 'speeding up', but you really need
to be more careful with it. "Acceleration" means ANY change in speed OR
direction.

If an object's speed to the left is decreasing, or its speed to the right is
increasing, then the net force on the object must be directed towards
the right.

If an object is moving with constant speed in a circular path, then it's
constantly accelerating, because its direction is constantly changing.
The force on it is always directed towards the center of the circle, so
there's one point on the path where the force is directed straight to the right.

This is correct. Just think about it. If you push an object to the right then it will accelerate to the right.

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.
zzz [600]

Answer:

1000 Hz

Explanation:

<em>The frequency would be 1000 Hz.</em>

The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave are related by the equation:

<em>v = fλ ..................(1)</em>

where v = speed of the wave, f = frequency of the wave, and λ = wavelength of the wave.

Making f the subject of the formula:

<em>f = v/λ.........................(2)</em>

Also, speed (v) = distance/time.

From the question, distance = 900 m, time = 3.0 s

Hence, v = 900/3.0 = 300 m/s

Substitute v = 300 and λ = 0.3  into equation (2):

f = 300/0.3 = 1000 Hz

Write a hypothesis for Part II of the lab, which is about the relationship described by F = ma. In the lab, you will use a toy c
Temka [501]

Answer:

F=ma is the relationship where, F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

Newton's second law states that  the unbalanced force applied to the object accelerates the object which is directly proportional to the force and inversely to the mass.

If we apply force to a toy car then It will accelerate.

This is how Newton's second law of motion is verified.

A 2.0kg rock is thrown straight up into the air with a speed of 30m/s. Ignore air resistance. What is the net force acting on th
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

19.6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 2kg

Speed  = 30m/s

Unknown:

Net force on the rock  = ?

Solution:

The net force acting on this rock is a function of the acceleration due to gravity acting upon it.

 Net force  = weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

 Net force  = 2 x 9.8  = 19.6N downward
