From newtons second law of motion,
F=ma hence,
F=20N
m=5kg so,
20=5×a
a=4m/s^2

If an object has two forces acting on it, how can the net force equal 0?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Check explanation.

Explanation:

Net force is essentially the sum of the forces enacting upon an object. One example of net force is gravity and normal force. It is commonly accepted that every object has a force acting upon it, even if it is stationary. To give an example, the weight of an object has a force upon the earth but the earth pushes back, essentially meaning that the object will not sink.

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.
