Research indicates that the prefrontal cortex, or the area of the brain that assists in controlling impulses and emotion, is not fully mature in teenagers. The brain's reward center also appears to be highly active in adolescence as well. As a result of cognitive immaturity, adolescents may be more likely to engage in risky behavior as they may lack the ability to control emotions or delay gratification in times when this behavior is needed.

The given function represents the position of a particle traveling along a horizontal line. s(t) = 2t3 − 3t2 − 36t + 6 for t ≥ 0
igor_vitrenko [27]

1) The velocity of the particle is given by the derivative of the position. So, if we derive s(t), we get the velocity of the particle as a function of the time:

v(t)=s'(t)=(2t^3-3t^2-36t+6)'=6t^2-6t-36

2) The acceleration of the particle is given by the derivative of the velocity. So, if we derive v(t), we get the acceleration of the particle as a function of the time:

a(t)=v'(t)=(6t^2-6t-36)'=12t-6

In a thundercloud there may be an electric charge of 24 C near the top of the cloud and −24 C near the bottom of the cloud. If t
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Electric force, F=1.29\times 10^6\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q_1=24\ C

Charge 2, q_2=-24\ C

Distance between charges, d = 2 km

The electric force is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

k is the electrostatic constant

F=8.98755\times 10^9\times \dfrac{(24)^2}{(2\times 10^3)^2}

F = 1294207.2 N

or

F=1.29\times 10^6\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

What net force will make a 5kg bowling ball accelerate by 1.5m/s squared
iren [92.7K]
F = ma
F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration

1.5 m/s^2 = a
5 kg = m
F = ?

F = 5 * 1.5
F = 7.5 Newtons

Answer would then be :<span> Force = 7.5 N</span>
