Newtons. Force is mass times acceleration. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2.) These units (kg and m/s^2) multiplied together like in the equation force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma) gives a product with Newtons as the unit.

A 1250 kg car is pulling a 325 kb trailer. The car and trailer have an acceleration of 2,15m/sec2 together. Determine the net fo
xenn [34]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of Newton's second law, which says that force is equivalent to body mass by acceleration. In this case the mass of the trailer is 325Kg and its acceleration is 2.15m / s ^ 2, so we will proceed to replace and multiply these values to find the net force on this object.

F= ma

F= (325 kg)(2.15 m/s^2)

F= 698.75N

Under the reference system in which the direction of travel is the positive direction, the direction of the force will be positive.

Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?
lesantik [10]
It's called the "Wavelength". It corresponds to <span>the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave and could also be from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Hope this helps !

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441
Tasya [4]
The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L =  \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2

Suppose a current flows through a copper wire. Which two things occur?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

a

Explanation:

as the copper wire is very dangerous so now if these two thing happens then it would easily help the current flows through it so it might be a little bit easy for the current to flow through it

What are scientists who study space called?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Astronomer

Explanation:

A scientist who studies the objects in the sky, including planets, galaxies, black holes, and stars, is called an astronomer. These days, the terms astronomer and astrophysicist are used interchangeably, to talk about any physicist who specializes in celestial bodies and the forces that affect them.
