Answer:

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 3kg

Explanation:

The force can be getting by

F = m * a

F1 = F2

a1 = 3.0 m/s^2

a2 = 2.0 m/s^2

The force F1=F2 because the force is applied so get the a2 acceleration

m1 * a1 = m2 * a2

m2 = m1 + 1kg

m1 *(3.0 m/s^2) = m2* (2.0 m/s^2)

m1 *(3.0 m/s^2) = (m1 + 1kg) * (2.0 m/s^2)

m1*(3.0m/s^2-2.0m/s^2)=2 kg*m/s^2

Solve to find the mass

m1 m/s^2= 2 kg*m/s^2

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 3kg

Where is the highest-energy electron found in an atom of hydrogen?
tangare [24]
In the basic hydrogen atom, shown below left, the cloud is densest in the center and thins out with distance from the nucleus, which means the electron is most likely to be found near the nucleus, in a region about 1/20 nm in size.

hope you find this helpful

A rocket moves upward from rest with an acceleration of 40 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then runs out of fuel and continues to move up
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Maximum height of rocket  = 2538.74 m

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

For first 5 seconds

          s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m

Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.

We have the equation of motion v = u + at

After 5 seconds velocity of rocket

         v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s

After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.

Time of flying after 5 seconds

          t=\frac{200}{9.81}=20.38s

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s

          s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m

Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m

Derive an expression for the acceleration of the car. Express your answer in terms of D and vt Determine the time at which the s
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

V(car) = V(truck) at t = Dt/2

acceleration = v(car) = D/t^2

Explanation:

acceleration = v(car) = D/t^2

Since the average velocities must be the same, the car's final velocity must be twice the trunk velocity assuming the car start with zero velocity, since acceleration remain the same throughout the journey velocities at half-time point must be equal.

What is the acceleration of a rock at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward. explain whether or not the answer i
zvonat [6]

The acceleration of the rock is the gravitational acceleration due to earth which is around 9.8 m/s^2. As the rock travels upwards it is working against the constant force of gravity and when it reaches the top it is the force of gravity that will cause a cause in the direction of the rocks velocity and cause it to accelerate towards earth. Using the equation a = F/m, the acceleration due to gravity exerts a force per unit mass on an object causing the object to accelerate, anything above earth surface will therefore have an external gravitational force action on it (in terms of projectile motion). So at the top of the rocks trajectory, the acceleration of the rock will be g (9.8) as a constant force is gravity is exerted on the rock throughout its path.
