Triangle ABC with an altitude BD where D is on side AC. Side AC is also labeled as small b. Side AB is also labeled as small c. Side BC is also labeled as small a. Altitude BD is labeled as small h.

Statement Reason

BD is an altitude of △ABC .

Given △ABD and △CBD are right triangles. (Definition of right triangle)

sinA=h/c and sinC=h/a

Cross multiplying, we have

csinA=h and asinC=h

(If a=b and a=c, then b=c)

csinA=asinC

csinA/ac=asinC/ac (Division Property of Equality)

sinA/a=sinC/c

This rule is known as the Sine Rule.

When a constant force is applied to an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain con

marusya05 [52]

Answer: The mass of the object is 10 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force $F$ applied to an object with mass $m$ is directly proportional to its acceleration $a$ :

$F=ma$ (1)

If we isolate $a$ :

$a=\frac{F}{m}$ (2) This means the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass

Now, we are given the following data to calculate a constant force using (1):

$m_{1}=4 kg$

$a_{1}=5 m/s^{2}$

$F=m_{1}a_{1}$ (3)

$F=(4 kg)(5 m/s^{2)$ (4)

$F=20 N$ (5)

If we apply this same force calulated in (4) in another object with an acceleration of $a_{2}=2 m/s^{2}$ , its mass $m_{2}$ will be:

$F=m_{2}a_{2}$ (6)

$20 N=m_{2}2 m/s^{2}$ (7)

Finding $m_{2}$ :

$m_{2}=10 kg$ This is the mass of the object
