Newton's 2nd law of motion says

                   Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Plug in the things you know, and you have

                   80 N  =  (20 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (20 kg) :

                  80N / 20kg  =  acceleration

                   acceleration  =  4 m/s²

kaheart [24]

The moon clock is A) (9.8/1.6)h compared to 1 hour on Earth

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we want to compare the period of the pendulum on Earth with its period on the Moon. The period of the pendulum on Earth is

T_e=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_e}}

where

g_e = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on Earth

The period of the pendulum on the Moon is

T_m=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_m}}

where

g_m = 1.6 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on the Moon

Calculating the ratio of the period on the Moon to the period on the Earth, we find

\frac{T_m}{T_e}=\frac{g_e}{g_m}=\frac{9.8}{1.6}

Therefore, for every hour interval on Earth, the Moon clock will display a time of

A) (9.8/1.6)h

A merry-go-round on a playground consists of a horizontal solid disk with a weight of 805 N and a radius of 1.58 m. A child appl
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The value is KE = 259.6 \  J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The weight of the horizontal solid disk is  W = 805 \  N

      The radius of the horizontal solid disk is  r =  1.58 \  m

      The force applied by the child is  F  =  49.5 \  N

       The time considered is  t =  2.95 \  s

Generally the mass of the  horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

          m_h  =  \frac{W}{ g}

=>       m_h  =  \frac{805}{ 9.8 }

=>       m_h  =  82.14 \  N

Generally the moment of inertia  of the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as  

         I  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  r^ 2

=>      I  =  \frac{1}{2} *  82.14 *   1.58^ 2  

=>      I  =  102.5 \  kg \cdot m^2

Generally the net torque experienced by the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

           T =  I  *  \alpha   =  F *  r

=>         \alpha  =  \frac{ F  *  r }{ I }

=>         \alpha  =  \frac{  49.5  *   1.58 }{  102.53 }

=>         \alpha  = 0.7628

Gnerally from kinematic equation we have that

         w =  w_o  +  \alpha t

Here  w_o is the initial angular velocity velocity of the horizontal solid disk  which is  w_o  =  0\   rad/s

So

           w =   0  +  0.7628 * 2.95

=>        w =  2.2503 \  rad/s

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

        KE =  \frac{1}{2}  *  I  *  w^2

=>      KE =  \frac{1}{2}  * 102.53  *  2.2503 ^2

=>      KE = 259.6 \  J

relationship beetween image distance,focal length ,power magnification, for both concave and convex lens.​
scoray [572]

Answer:

Object distance means what is the distance between pole and object. Image distance means when image is formed then the distance between pole and image is called image distance. Focal length is the distance between pole and the principal focus of the mirror.

A lens is a clear object, usually made of glass or plastic, which is used to refract, or bend light. Lenses can concentrate light rays (bring them together) or spread them out. Common examples of lenses include camera lenses, telescope lenses, eyeglasses, and magnifying glasses. Lenses are often double lenses, meaning they have two curved sides. A convex lens is rounded outward, while a concave lens curves inward. (A great way to remember this is that a concave lens creates an indent like a cave!)

The image distance can be calculated with the knowledge of object distance and focal length with the help of lens formula. In optics, the relationship between the distance of an image (i), the distance of an object (o), and the focal length (f) of the lens are given by the formula known as Lens formula. Lens formula is applicable for convex as well as concave lenses. These lenses have negligible thickness. It is an equation that relates the focal length, image distance, and object distance for a spherical mirror. It is given as,

1/i + 1/o = 1/f

i= distance of the image from the lens

o= distance of the object from the lens

f= focal length of the lens

What is table salt (NaCl) formed by?
Rzqust [24]
NaCl is a compound formed by a chemical reaction between Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine). Sodium is an alkai metal in Group One of the Periodic Table, and it is very reactive. All alkai metals react violently with water and they are often found combined in nature because they are that reactive. Chlorine is a halogen in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and they are very reactive.
