Answer:

a=12 m/s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of force.

This can be summarized as: F=ma, where m is the mass of the object on which force F acts. a is the acceleration due to the force applied.

12N= 1kg×a

a=12N/1kg

a=12m/s²

One difference between mixture and pure substances is that

Lunna [17]

Pure substances can be elements made up exclusively of one kind of atom, or they can be compounds made up of molecules that include two or more elements. Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous depending on how finely mixed the components are.

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.4 ${\rm m}$ . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than t

blondinia [14]

Answer:

120 m

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength 'λ' = 2.4m

pulse width 'τ'= 100T ('T' is the time of one oscillation)

The below inequality express the range of distances to an object that radar can detect

τc/2 < x < Tc/2 ---->eq(1)

Where, τc/2 is the shortest distance

First we'll calculate Frequency 'f' in order to determine time of one oscillation 'T'

f = c/λ (c= speed of light i.e 3 x $10^{8}$ m/s)

f= 3 x $10^{8}$ / 2.4

f=1.25 x $10^{8}$ hz.

As, T= 1/f

time of one oscillation T= 1/1.25 x $10^{8}$

T= 8 x $10^{-9}$ s

It was given that pulse width 'τ'= 100T

τ= 100 x 8 x $10^{-9}$ => 800 x $10^{-9}$ s

From eq(1), we can conclude that the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect:

$x_{min}$ = τc/2 => (800 x $10^{-9}$ x 3 x $10^{8}$ )/2

$x_{min}$ =120m

Calculate the acceleration of an airplane that starts at rest and reaches a speed 45m/s in 9 seconds

sasho [114]

I believe the acceleration would be 5m/s

All you would need to do is divide the final speed by the time it took to get there. I am only about 80 sure this answer is correct, so take my advise only if you feel comfortable.

Momentum is usually not exactly conserved in a real world demonstration of momentum conservation. What is a possible reason for

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

For any collision occurring in an isolated system, momentum is conserved. The total amount of momentum of the collection of objects in the system is the same before the collision as after the collision.
