What acceleration is produced when a 12-N force is exerted on a 3-kg object?

How do massive stars change the atmosphere?

Wewaii [24]

Not sure what you're referring to... our atmosphere is mostly nitrogen/oxygen - both gases were created by very massive stars, many times greater than our sun - our sun isn't massive enough to create the gases needed for our atmosphere...

For an object on a flat surface, the force of gravity is 10 newtons downward and the normal force is 10 newtons upward. The appl

bezimeni [28]

3 Newtons toward the right because Newton’s second law:
F = ma
15N - 12N = ma
3N = ma
(With the right being the positive direction and the left the negative direction)

Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded cars are moving toward one another, the fir

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

7560 Joules

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of first car = $1.5\times 10^5\ kg$

$m_2$ = Mass of second car = $2\times 10^5\ kg$

$u_1$ = Initial Velocity of first car = 0.3 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial Velocity of second car = -0.12 m/s

v = Velocity of combined mass

As linear momentum of the system is conserved

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1 + m_2u_2}{m_1 + m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1.5\times 10^5\times 0.3 + 2\times 10^5\times -0.12}{1.5\times 10^5 + 2\times 10^5}\\\Rightarrow v=0.06\ m/s$

Energy lost is

$\Delta E=\Delta E_i-\Delta E_f\\\Rightarrow \Delta=\frac{1}{2}(m_1u_1^2 + m_2u_2^2-(m_1+m_2)v^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta=\frac{1}{2}(1.5\times 10^5\times 0.3^2 + 2\times 10^5\times (-0.12)^2-(1.5\times 10^5 + 2\times 10^5)\times 0.06^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta=7560\ J$

The Energy lost in the collision is 7560 Joules

Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th

vlabodo [156]

Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

Answer:

D. your brain is processing things on the conscious and unconscious

levels.

Explanation:

Consciousness is the awareness of ourselves and our environment.The two-track mind means that perception, memory, thinking, language, and attitude all operate on two levels conscious and unconscious level.

Glad to help!!
