If one newton of force accelerates a block at 1 m/s2. Predict what the acceleration would be if we applied twice the force to a

very light container with 4 blocks in it? A) 0.5 m/s2 B) 1.0 m/s2 C) 4.0 m/s2 D) 8.0 m/s2

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 newton's of force and 4 blocks will be 0.5 m/s².

A bicyclist is traveling at a speed of 20.0 m/s as he approaches the bottom of a hill. He decides to coast up the hill and stops
Rudiy27

Answer:

Vertical height of the hill, h = 20.4 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of the bicyclist, v = 20 m/s

To find,

The vertical height of the hill.

Solution,

Let h is the height of the hill. When he approaches the bottom of the hill, the loss in kinetic energy is equal to the gain in potential energy. Using the conservation of energy as,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

h=\dfrac{(20)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h = 20.4 meters

Therefore, the vertical height of the hill is 20.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car (mass = 1200 kg) is traveling at 31.1 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2830 kg) traveling
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

13.18 m/s

Explanation:

Let the velocity of sports utility car is

-u as it is moving in opposite direction.

mc = 1200 kg, uc = 31.1 m/s

ms = 2830 kg, us = - u = ?

Using conservation of momentum

mc × uc + ms × us = 0

1200 × 31.1 - 2830 × u = 0

u = 13.18 m/s

Would the solar panel work under a fluorescent or halogen light? explain your response being sure to relate your observations to
lina2011 [118]

A solar panel are most efficient under natural sunlight, however, a solar panel can work using artificial light simply because a solar panel collects photons which collide with silicon atoms transferring their energy which cause them to lose electrons.
