A net force of magnitude 36N gives an object of mass m1 an acceleration of 6.0m/s2. The same net force gives m1 and another obje

ct of mass m2 fastened together an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2. What acceleration will m2 experience if the same net force acts on it alone?

In working toward the complete solution of this problem,
I'm going to use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division.  Also, I think I'll be using Newtons 2nd law of motion
like at least fifteen times, so I'll write it here for our review: 

                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration).

-- When 36 N of force acts on m₁ it accelerates at 6 m/s² .

                                             36 N = (m₁) x (6 m/s²)

Divide each side by  6 m/s² :    m₁ = (36 N) / (6 m/s²) = 6 kg . 

-- The same force acting on (m₁+m₂) accelerates them at 2 m/s² .

                                             36 N = (6kg + m₂) x (2 m/s²)

Divide each side by  2 m/s² :    6kg + m₂ = (36N) / (2m/s²) = 18 kg

Subtract  6kg  from each side:            m₂ = 12 kg .

-- The same net force acts on  m₂  alone:

                                             36 N = (12 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by  12 kg :    Acceleration = (36 N) / (12 kg) = 3 m/s² .

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients​: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.
