Amber applies a net force of 35 N to pull her younger brother (32 kg) in a wagon (3 kg). at what rate does the wagon accerlerate

Physics
1 answer:
Ket [755]3 years ago

Answer:

C. 1.00 m/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this case, the net force applied by Amber is F=35 N, while the total mass of the brother+the wagon is

m=32 kg+3 kg=35 kg

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the acceleration:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{35 N}{35 kg}=1.00 m/s^2

The figure (Figure 1) shows the velocity of a solar-powered motorhome (RV) as a function of time. The driver accelerates from a
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation :

It is given that, the driver accelerates from a stop sign, cruises for 20 s at a constant speed of 60 km/h, and then brakes to come to a stop 40 s after leaving the stop sign.

We know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Where

dv is the change in velocity, dv = 0 - 60 m/s = -60 m/s

dt is the change in time, dt = 40 s - 30 s = 10 s

So, a=\dfrac{-60\ m/s}{10\ s}

a = -6\ m/s^2

From the graph it is clear that, from 30 s to 40 s the car is decelerating. So, at every second within this time the value of acceleration will be same i.e. -6\ m/s^2.

Assuming both graduated cylinders are holding water at room temperature, which cylinder has more thermal energy?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The graduate cylinder with more water has more thermal energy because it is holding more water molecules

Explanation:

Given that the thermal energy of the system is the energy possessed by the system by virtue of the increased motion of the particles by virtue of a transfer  of heat, when the content of the system is heated

The thermal energy, Q is given by the following equation;

Q = Mass, m × The specific heat capacity, C × The change in temperature, ΔT

Given that the graduated cylinder with more water has more mass and therefore, more water molecules, than the cylinder with less water, the cylinder with more water has more thermal energy.

Which two types of air masses would likely form a subtropical jet stream?
shepuryov [24]
The exact location of the 'subtropical-jet stream' is located at the North phase of 30 Degrees and the reason behind this is due to the variation of air which lies on the region of mid-altitude and warmer equatorial air. the correct answer would be Cool and Warm air masses meeting near the equator.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific evidence takes note of the pattern of evolution. The evidence exists in a variety of categories, including direct observation of evolutionary change, the fossil record, homology, and biogeography.

Examples of the categories with their respective examples are:

Direct observation of evolutionary change: Development of drug resistant bacteria

Fossil record: Discovery of transitional forms of horses, Discovery of shells of extinct species

Homology: Similarities in mammalian forelimbs, Same genetic code in fireflies and tobacco plants, Vestigial pelvis in right whales

Biogeography: Similarity of endemic island species to nearby mainland species, The high concentration of marsupial species in Australia
