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

weeeeeb [17]
Momentum has both direction and magnitude.

It is a vector quantity.

Its formula is =  Mass * Velocity,    Mass you know is associated with size and velocity of course is associated with direction.

What is the efficiency of a device that takes in 400 J of heat and does 120 J
777dan777 [17]

The efficiency of the device is 30 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of a heat engine is given by:

\eta = \frac{W}{Q_{in}}

where

W is the work done by the engine

Q_{in} is the heat in input to the engine

For the device in this problem, we have:

W = 120 J is the work done

Q_{in} = 400 J is the heat in input

Substituting, we find the efficiency:

\eta=\frac{120}{400}=0.30

which corresponds to an efficiency of 30%.

20 m
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

  1.9 km​

Explanation:

The equation for vertical motion is ...

  h(t) = -4.9t^2 +26t +20

This will have a zero near t = 5.988 seconds.*

The horizontal distance traveled in that time is ...

  (310 m/s)(5.988 s) ≈ 1856 m ≈ 1.9 km

_____

* The root of a quadratic can be found numerous ways. We choose the quick and easy: let a graphing calculator show it to you.

At a speed of 60 mph, how far does your car travel in 3 seconds
Viefleur [7K]

One of the many random useless factoids that I carry around
in my head is the factoid that 60 miles per hour is equivalent
to exactly 88 feet per second.

So in three seconds at that speed, you would cover exactly

                       (3 x 88) = 264 feet.

on the surface of planet x a body with a mass of 10 kilograms weighs 40 newtons. The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravit
tamaranim1 [39]
Based on the Newton's second law of motion, the value of the net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration due to gravity. If we let a be the acceleration due to gravity, the equation that would allow us to calculate it's value is,
      W = m x a
where W is weight, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Substituting the known values,
    40 kg m/s² = (10 kg) x a
Calculating for the value of a from the equation will give us an answer equal to 4. 
ANSWER: 4 m/s².
