<span>Answer: The acceleration of 10 kg object is greater than that of 18 kg object.

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (A)

Let's find the acceleration for both 10 kg and 18 kg objects!
The net force on both of these masses = F = 20N

(1) Acceleration of 10 kg object
Mass = m = 10 kg
Plug in the values in equation (A):
20 = 10 * a
Acceleration = a = 2 m/s^2

(2) Acceleration of 18 kg object
Mass = m = 18 kg
Plug in the values in equation (A):

20 = 18 * a
Acceleration = a = 1.11 m/s^2


2 > 1.11; therefore, 10 kg object has the higher acceleration compared to the acceleration of the 18 kg object.</span>

Explanation:

The expression of the applied force in terms of mass and acceleration by using Newton's second law is as follows;

F= ma

Here, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object.

Calculate the acceleration of a 10 kg object acted upon with net force of 20 N in the above expression.

Put m= 10 kg and F= 20 N in the above expression.

20= (10)a

a= 2 m/s^2

Calculate the acceleration of a 18 kg object acted upon with net force of 20 N in the above expression.

Put m= 18 kg and F= 20 N.

20= (18)a

a= 1.11 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of a 10 kg object acted upon with net force of 20 N is greater than the acceleration of a 18 kg object acted upon with net force of 20 N.

It has to be D because the arrow will drop as it moves, if it were a gun, you'd lead the target so fire below it, but due to it being an arrow, you aim high not low. Also, they didnt specify how fast anything is, so you'd probably miss if you actually did it.

A cold front moves through and the temperature drops by 20 degrees. in which temperature scale would this 20 degree change repre
nalin [4]
In the Celsius scale each degree is one part of 100 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between boiling and freezing temperatures of water is 100 ° - 0 ° = 100 °, so one degree Celsius is one part of 100.

In the Farenheit scale, each degree is one part of 180 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between the boiling and freezind temperatures are 212 ° - 32 ° = 180°, so one degree Farenheti is one part of 180.

That means that 1 °C is a larger amount than 1 °C, so 20°C is a larger amount than 20°F.

Conclusion: 20 degree change represents a larger change in Celsius scale.
