Yes, therefore the object would then slow down

Of course !
That's what's happening whenever you're slowing down.

kogti [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$a = (0.64\hat i - 0.5 \hat j)m/s^2$

Part b)

$a = (0.64\hat i + 5.21 \hat j)m/s^2$

Part c)

$a = (4.92\hat i - 0.5 \hat j)m/s^2$

Explanation:

As per Newton's II law we know that

F = ma

so we will have

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

so we will have

$a = \frac{F_1 + F_2}{m}$

Part a)

$a = \frac{(3.9 \hat i + 3.3 \hat j) + (-3\hat i - 4\hat j)}{1.4}$

$a = \frac{0.9 \hat i - 0.7 \hat j}{1.4}$

$a = (0.64\hat i - 0.5 \hat j)m/s^2$

Part b)

$a = \frac{(3.9 \hat i + 3.3 \hat j) + (-3\hat i + 4\hat j)}{1.4}$

$a = \frac{0.9 \hat i + 7.3 \hat j}{1.4}$

$a = (0.64\hat i + 5.21 \hat j)m/s^2$

Part c)

$a = \frac{(3.9 \hat i + 3.3 \hat j) + (3\hat i - 4\hat j)}{1.4}$

$a = \frac{6.9 \hat i - 0.7 \hat j}{1.4}$

$a = (4.92\hat i - 0.5 \hat j)m/s^2$

How does inertia explain why it is difficult to stop a moving skateboard?

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

(Example Person) has to push hard to get the skateboard started, but once it begins moving, it takes much less effort to keep it rolling over the smooth, flat pavement. In fact, if (Example Person) tries to stop the rolling skateboard, it may take as much effort to stop it as it did to start it rolling in the first place.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

A powerful missile reaches a speed of 5 kilometers per second in 10 seconds after its launch. What is the average acceleration o

AveGali [126]

Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

The missile's change in speed is (5,000 - 0) = 5,000 m/s

Average acceleration = (5,000 m/s) / (10 sec)

= 500 m/s² (about 51 Gs)

Inconveniently, this isn't one of the choices on the list. Is there something wrong, either with the choices or with my solution ?

No. Relax. Everything is OK.

500 meters is the same thing as 0.5 kilometer. So my answer can also be written as 0.5 km/s² . That doesn't change anything, and it IS one of the listed choices.

The average acceleration is 0.5 km/sec² (d) .

OLga [1]

Answer:

$v_0=9.9\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

angle of launch of projectile from horizontal, $\theta=15^{\circ}$

range of projectile, $R=5\ m$

We have formula for the range of projectile:

$R=\frac{v_0^2\times sin\ 2\theta}{g}$

putting the respective values

$5=\frac{v_0^2\times sin\ 30^{\circ}}{9.8}$

$v_0=9.9\ m.s^{-1}$ is the velocity with which Tom should jump to land on the other roof.

I don't understand any of this please help !

You can see what is the electron configuration by looking at the layout of the periodic tables. the first shell will have a max of 2 electrons on it, once the first one is filled up a second is added with a max of 8 electrons on it and so on with the 8 as a max. so He, and H will only have them on the first shell but every horizontal row is a new valence or outer shell. so lets say for carbon look at the number in the upper left corner of the box will tell you the total number of electrons you will need. so start off with the first two electrons on the first shell. now you know that carbon needs 6 electrons in total, since you can only have a max of 2 on the first shell you need a second one so on the second one you will have to have the remaining 4. now elements are most stable when they have a full valence shell becuase those are the only electrons that will react with others. so if carbon has 4 it wants to either gain or lose 4 electrons so you could say that it would bond with 4H since each H will donate 1 electron to the C valence shell making all the H and C stable.
