Newton's second law states that the force produced by a moving object depends on its mass and acceleration. Which is an example

of this? A. Two boulders move at the same rate of acceleration; the boulder with the smaller mass produces a greater force.
B. Two boulders move at the same rate of acceleration; the boulder with the greater mass produces a greater force.
C. A runner accelerates at a rate of 1 meter per second per second during a race.

For a moon orbiting its planet, rp is the shortest distance between the moon and its planet andra is the longest distance betwee
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: D. 0.57

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the eccentricity e of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):

e=\frac{r_{a}-r_{p}}{r_{a}+r_{p}}

Where:

r_{a} is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)

r_{p}=0.27 r_{a} is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)

Then:

e=\frac{r_{a}-0.27 r_{a}}{r_{a}+0.27 r_{a}}

e=\frac{0.73 r_{a}}{1.27 r_{a}}

e=0.57 This is the moon's orbital eccentricity

e-lub [12.9K]
You should not go into the left side of the roadway when within 100 feet of the crossing. Moreover, you should also turn on your turn signal when within 100 of a turn. These precautions prevent accidents as it makes clear to other drivers what your intentions are and drivers making turns are not endangered.

mechanical equivalent of heat Do the data for the second part of the experiment support or refute the second hypothesis
Ksivusya [100]
  • The data for the first part of the experiment support the first hypothesis.
  • As the force applied to the cart increased, the acceleration of the cart increased.
  • Since the increase in the applied force caused the increase in the cart's acceleration, force and acceleration are directly proportional to each other, which is in accordance with Newton's second law.

When we state something about the results on the basis whether the observed data supports the original hypothesis, we say that we are concluding the results.

What is the relationship between force and acceleration based on Newton's 2nd law?

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

As the proton approaches the uranium nucleus, the repulsive force slows down the proton until it comes momentarily to rest, afte
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

 r^2 = \frac{ 2 k  \ Ze^2}{ 2m}

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy

starting point. The proton very far from the nucleus

          Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. The point where the proton is stopped (v = 0)

          Em_f = U = q V

where the potential is

          V = k Ze / r²

Let us consider that all the charge of the nucleus is in the center, therefore r is the distance from this point to the proton that is approaching

Energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

           ½ m v² = e (k \frac{Ze}{r^2})

          r^2 = \frac{ 2 k  \ Ze^2}{ 2m}

with this expression we can find the closest approach distance (r)

Willie, in a 100.0 m race, initially accelerates uniformly from rest at 2.00 m/s2 until reaching his top speed of 12.0 m/s. He m
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The total time for the race is 11.6 seconds

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Total distance ran by Willie = 100.0 m

Initial acceleration = 2.00m/s²

Top speed reached with initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

Point where Willie start to fade and decelerate = 16.0 m from the finish line

Speed with which Willie crosses the finish line = 8.00 m/s

The time and distance covered with the initial acceleration are found using the following equations of motion;

v = u₀ + a·t

v² = u₀² + 2·a·s

Where:

v = Final velocity reached with the initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

u₀ = Initial velocity at the start of the race = 0 m/s

t = Time during acceleration

a = Initial acceleration = 2.00 m/s²

s = Distance covered during the period of initial acceleration

From, v = u₀ + a·t, we have;

12 = 0 + 2×t

t = 12/2 = 6 seconds

From, v² = u₀² + 2·a·s, we have;

12² = 0² + 2×2×s

144 = 4×s

s = 144/4 =36 meters

Given that the Willie maintained the top speed of 12.0 m/s until he was 16.0 m from the finish line, we have;

Distance covered at top speed = 100 - 36 - 16 = 48 meters

Time, t_t of running at top speed = Distance/velocity = 48/12 = 4 seconds

The deceleration from top speed to crossing the line is found as follows;

v₁² = u₁² + 2·a₁·s₁

Where:

u₁ = v = 12 m/s

v₁ = The speed with which Willie crosses the line = 8.00 m/s

s₁ = Distance covered during decelerating = 16.0 m

a₁ = Deceleration

From which we have;

8² = 12² + 2 × a × 16

64 = 144 + 32·a

64 - 144 = 32·a

32·a = -80

a = -80/32 = -2.5 m/s²

From, v₁ = u₁ + a₁·t₁

Where:

t₁ = Time of deceleration

We have;

8 = 12 + (-2.5)·t₁

t₁ = (8 - 12)/(-2.5) = 1.6 seconds

The total time = t + t_t + t₁ =6 + 4 + 1.6 = 11.6 seconds.
