Newtons law states F=ma
so F/m=a
in addition it makes logical sense the lighter an object the easier it is to accelerate its velocity form 0 to some quantity

leva [86]

Answer:

Charge

Explanation:

Charge is a fundamental property of all matter. All matter has electrical and magnetic properties because the atoms that make up matter are held together by electromagnetic forces.

These charges are usually positive and negative charges. When these charges which make up an atom (positive and negative) are equal, the atom is said to be electrically neutral. When positive charge is greater than negative charge, the atom is said to positively charged. Also, if the number of negative charges are more in an atom, the atom is said to be negatively charged.

Bob is threatening Tom’s life with a giant laser with wavelength (650 nm), a distance (D = 10 m) from the wall James is shackled
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wave length = 650 nm

Distance =10 m

Double slit separation d = 5 μm

We need to find the position of fringe

Using formula of distance

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

d\dfrac{y}{D}=n\lambda

y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Put the value into the formula

y=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}\times10}{5\times10^{-6}}

y=1.3\ m

Hence, He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

You find it takes 200 N of horizontal force tomove an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of2.4 m/s. You then lo
IgorC [24]

ANSWER:

F(h)= 230 N is the horizontal force you will need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F(h) is Horizontal Force = 200 N

V is Speed = 2.4 m/s

The total weight increase by 42%

coefficient of rolling friction decrease by 19%

Since the velocity is constant so acceleration is zero; a=0

Now the horizontal force required to move the pickup is equal to the frictional force.

F(h) = F(f)

F(h) = mg* u

m is mass

g is gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

200 = mg*u

Since weight increases by 42% and friction coefficient decreases by 19%

New weight = 1+0.42 = 1.42 = (1.42*m*g)

New friction coefficient = μ = 1 - 0.19 = 0.81 = 0.81 u

F(h) = (0.81μ) (1.42 m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (μ m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (200)

       = 230 N

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²
