<span>By Newton's second law of motion, we know that the resultant force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body and directly proportional to its acceleration. In system international (SI) units, the value of the constant of proportionality constant is 1. Therefore, the equation for Newton's second law of motion becomes: F = ma, where F is the resultant force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration of the object. Substituting the values of m and a into this formula, we get the result: F = 12 x 4 = 48. The SI unit for force is the Newton; therefore, <u>the answer is 48 Newtons.</u></span>

2.1 Define Resultant vector

lord [1]

Explanation:

In vector geometry, the resultant vector is defined as: “A resultant vector is a combination or, in simpler words, can be defined as the sum of two or more vectors which has its own magnitude and direction.”

I hope it's helpful!

Lori wants to send a box of oranges to a friend by mail. The box of oranges cannot exceed a mass of 10.222 Kg. If each orange ha

Sergeu [11.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

The box of oranges cannot exceed a mass of 10.222 Kg if we are sending to a friend by mail.

The mass of each orange is 198 g

We know that,

1 kg = 1000 g

10.222 kg = 10.222×1000 g

Let there are n number of oranges. So,

$n=\dfrac{10.222\times 1000\ g}{198\ g}\\\\n=51.92\approx 52\ \text{oranges}$

It means she can send 52 oranges and it is maximum quantity.

Greg throws a 2.8-kg pumpkin horizontally off the top of the school roof in order to hit Mr. H's car. The car has parked a dista

Igoryamba

Answer:

The horizontal velocity is $v = 9.2 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the pumpkin is $m = 2.8 \ kg$

The distance of the the car from the building's base is $d = 13.4 \ m$

The height of the roof is $h = 10.4 \ m$

The height is mathematically represented as

$h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity which has a value of $g =9.8 \ m/s^2$

substituting values

$10.4= 0.5 * 9.8 * t$

making the time taken the subject of the formula

$t = \frac{10.4}{0.5 * 9.8 }$

$t = 1.457 \ s$

The speed at which the pumpkin move horizontally can be represented mathematically as

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

substituting values

$v =\frac{13.4}{1.457}$

$v = 9.2 m/s$

Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).

telo118 [61]

2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy
