Answer:

F = 852 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law to the trailer :

F = m*a   Formula (1)

F : net force exerted by the truck on the trailer Newtons (N)

m : mass of the trailer in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration of the trailer in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data

a=1.20 m/s² : acceleration of the trailer

m=710 kg : mass of the trailer

We replace data in the   Formula (1)  to calculate the net force exerted by the truck on the trailer

F = (710 kg)*(1.20 m/s²)

F = 852 N

In the periodic table, the properties repeat in what direction?​
pogonyaev

Answer:

Left to right and top to bottom

Explanation:

On the periodic table, the properties repeat from left to right and from top to bottom.

Periodic properties have a pattern from the top to the bottom or down a group or family.

Also, across the period from left to right, they also show a repeating pattern.

  1. Certain properties increase from left to right and decreases from top to bottom. E.g. electronegativity.
  2. Also, some properties decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom e.g. atomic radius.

For elliptical obits: the direction of the velocity of the satellite is _______________________ (always, seldom, never) perpendi
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

For elliptical orbits: seldom

For circular orbits: always

Explanation:

We start by analzying a circular orbit.

For an object moving in circular orbit, the direction of the acceleration (centripetal acceleration) is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the object.

Since acceleration has the same direction of the force (according to Newton's second law of motion), this means that the direction of the force (the centripetal force) is always perpendicular to the velocity of the object.

So for a circular orbit,

the direction of the velocity of the satellite is always perpendicular to the net force acting upon the satellite.

Now we analyze an elliptical orbit.

An elliptical orbit correponds to a circular orbit "stretched". This means that there are only 4 points along the orbit in which the acceleration (and therefore, the net force) is perpendicular to the direction of motion (and so, to the velocity) of the satellite. These points are the 4 points corresponding to the intersections between the axes of the ellipse and the orbit itself.

Therefore, for an elliptical orbit,

the direction of the velocity of the satellite is seldom perpendicular to the net force acting upon the satellite.
