energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light.

A person walking covers 5 m ikn 10 s how fast is the person moving
aniked [119]

Not what I'd call 'fast' at all.

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Speed = (5 meters) / (10 seconds)

<em>Speed = 0.5 meter per second</em> .

That's like about 1.1 mile per hour .

Normal walking speed is considered to be around 1.4 m/s ... about 3.1 mph, or 14 meters in 10 seconds.

I've got a grandson who hasn't even turned 1 yet.  He crawls and  doesn't walk, but if you only cover 5m in 10s, he'd leave you in the dust pretty quick.

A scientist suspends a spring from a force sensor. She then pulls on the spring causing the spring to stretch 1.0 cm. She record
Nadusha1986 [10]
This situation describes the Hooke's Law which states that "When an elastic object - such as a spring - is stretched, the increased length is called its extension. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it". The formula is <span>F = k × e , F for the force, k for spring constant expressed in N/m, e for extension in m. This equation works for as long the spring is not stretch too much because once it exceeded its limit, the spring will not return to its original length the moment the load is removed.</span>

Una pelota de voleibol de 0.45 kg es impactada (golpeada) por una fuerza de 80 N. ¿ Cuál es la aceleración que experimenta la pe
KIM [24]

Answer:

a = 177.77 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

Este es un problema relacionado con la segunda ley de Newton. La cual nos dice que la sumatoria de fuerzas aplicada sobre un cuerpo debe ser igual al producto de la masa por la aceleración.

De esta manera tenemos:

F = m*a

F = fuerza = 80 [N]

m = masa = 0.45 [kg]

80 = 0.45 * a

a = 80 / 0.45

a = 177.77 [m/s^2]

Far from any other masses, two masses, m1 and m2, are interacting gravitationally. The value for the mass of m1 suddenly doubles
NNADVOKAT [17]
<span>It also doubles The gravitational force between two masses is expressed as: F = G*m1*m2/r^2 where F = Force between the two masses m1 = Mass of object 1 m2 = Mass of object 2 r = distance between centers of object 1 and object 2 G = Gravitational constant The exact values of G, m1, m2, and r don't matter since all except for m1 is held constant. And when m1 suddenly doubles, the force attracting the two object to each other also doubles.</span>
