I am using the equation F=ma (force equals mass times acceleration) to solve these problems.
1. You are looking for force, and have mass and acceleration. You just plug in the values for mass and acceleration to get the force needed.
F=(15kg)(5m/s^2)
F=75N
2. Again, you are looking for force, and just need to plug in the values for mass and acceleration
F=(3kg)(2.4m/s^2)
F=7.2N
3. In this problem, you have force and mass, but need to find acceleration. To do this, you need to get acceleration alone on one side of the equation - divide each side by m. Your equation will now be F/m=a
a=(5N)/(3.7kg)
a=18.5m/s^2
I did not use significant figures. Let me know if you need to do that and need any help on that. Hope this helps!
Answer:
A. The melting of ice is both a desirable and undesirable change because, ice is needed to melt so as to make liquid water available for animal and plant use and consumption and also to release the energy used in the fusion process of ice formation. Melting of ice is undesirable because melting ice liberate water slowly, and the water liberated can erode surface soil. Melting ice reduces the available heat sink on earth and also reduces the available stored up fresh water supply on earth.
B. The appearance of hailey comet once every 72 year is a periodic change because it's motion around the solar system is repeated with time. The reason for this highly elliptical and eccentric path of motion is largely due to the gravitational effect of the sun and the planets on the comet.
Transverse waves travel on a direction that is perpendicular to the motion of the particles (or whatever medium is waving) So the particles must be moving east to west, which is transverse to the north-south motion of the wave
Any object that is given any initial velocity and which follows a path due to gravitational force acting on it and by the frictional resistance of the atmosphere is called a projectile. This is because the object is projected and not influenced by anything except gravity.
