Can anyone please help me with answering this question? : An accelerating (speeding up) body has a Net Force acting in the direc
1 answer:
That's true.
Netwon's second law states that the resultant of the forces F acting on a body is equal to the product between its mass m and its acceleration a:
This means that if the net force acting on an object is different from zero (term on the left), than the acceleration of the object (term on the right) must be different from zero as well, and therefore the body is accelerating.
In particular, both F and a in the equation are vectors: this means that if the acceleration is positive, F and a have the same direction. In this problem, the acceleration is positive (because the object is speeding up), therefore the force and the acceleration have same direction.

Answer: The weight of a 72.0 kg astronaut on the Moon is 117.36 N.
Explanation:
Mass of the astronaut on the moon , m= 72 kg
Acceleration due to gravity on moon,g = 1.63
According to Newton second law of motion: F = ma
This will changes to = Weight = mass × g
The weight of a 72.0 kg astronaut on the Moon is 117.36 N.
Answer:
1.4719 m per sec
Explanation:
Hello
Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the movement of objects. Although there are many forms of kinetic energy
the formula to use is
where m is the mass of the object and v the velocity
lets see the kinetic energy of the sprinter running
Now, the elephant must have the same kinetic energy
it works only the positive root, so the elephant must to walk to 1.4719 m/s to have the same kinetic energy.
Have a great day
