if one newton of force accelerates a block at 1m/s^2. predict what the acceleration would be if we applied twice the force to a

very light container with 4 blocks in it
Physics

<span>Assuming the mass of the container holding the 4 blocks is negligible, we are attempting to accelerate 4 times the mass (which would decrease acceleration by a factor of 4) with 2 times the force (which would increase acceleration by a factor of 2). So the resulting change in acceleration will be 1/4 * 2 = 1/2 as much as the original situation. And since the original situation was an acceleration of 1 m/s^2, the situation with 2 newtons of force and 4 blocks will be 0.5 m/s^2.</span>

Nadusha1986 [10]
If the speed is higher than the orbital velocity, but not high enough to leave Earth altogether (lower than the escape velocity), it will continue revolving around Earth along an elliptical orbit. (D) for example horizontal speed of 7,300 to approximately 10,000 m/s for Earth.

Answer:

1. G.P.E = 24 J

2. center of mass

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2kg

Height, h = 1.2m

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 N/kg or m/s².

To find the gravitational potential energy;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

G.P.E = mgh

Where;

  • G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
  • m represents the mass of an object.
  • g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
  • h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

G.P.E = 2*1.2*9.8

G.P.E = 23.52 to 2 S.F = 24 Joules.

Translation kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a system due to the motion of the system’s center of mass. The center of mass is typically where the mass of the object or particle is concentrated.

Can the velocity of a body revese the direction when acceleration is constant?
TEA [102]

Answer:

Yes, the velocity of the object can reverse direction when its acceleration is constant. For example consider that the velocity of any object at any time t is given as: ... At At t = 0 sec, the magnitude of velocity is 2m/s and is moving in the forward direction i.e.v (t) = -2.

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant velocity of 30.0 m/s. The police car starts from rest with a uniform accelera
beks73 [17]
The formula for the speeder should beV1 = d1/t1whereas the formula for the police car is d2  = vo t2 + 1/2 at2^2 where a is equal to 2.44 m/s2. when the overtaking takes place, d1 and d2 are the same, so as t1 and t2
30t = 1/2 *2.44*t2t is equal to 24.59 seconds.d then is equal to 737.70 meters
