By Newton's 2nd law of motion, F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Rearranging this equation to find acceleration would give us:
a = F/m

The horizontal force to the right is 10N, because the box is pushed to the right with a force of 20N, and the friction force of 10N opposes that, so:
20N - 10N = 10N

The mass is 2kg.

Putting these values into the equation gives us:
a = F/m
= 10/2
= 5ms^-2

The acceleration of the box is 5ms^-2

A cardinal (Richmondena cardinalis) of mass 3.70×10−2 kg and a baseball of mass 0.144 kg have the same kinetic energy. What is t
Radda [10]

Answer:

\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}\approx 0.507

Explanation:

Since the cardinal and ball have the same kinetic energy, it is possible to determine the ratio between speeds. (c for cardinal, b for baseball)

K_{c} = K_{b}

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{c}\cdot v_{c}^{2}= \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{b}\cdot v_{b}^{2}

\frac{v_{c}}{v_{b}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{b}}{m_{c}} }

The ratio is obtained by multiplying each side by \frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}}:

\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}=\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m_{b}}{m_{c}} }

\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}= \sqrt{\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}} }

The value of this ratio is:

\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}\approx 0.507

You plan to take your hair blower to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united
Eddi Din [679]
P = U × I
I = P / U = 1600W / 120V = 13.4A
P = 240V × 13.4A = 3216W

If your hair blower isnt rated for 220- 230V(this is the voltage in EU) you are most likely going to burn it.

Describe each of the following as a physical or chemical property. a. Neon is a colorless gas at room temperature.b. Apple slice
Cloud [144]

Answer: Neon is a colorless gas at room temperature: Physical property

At room temperature, mercury is a liquid: Physical property

Apple slices turn brown when exposed to air: Chemical property

Phosphorus will ignite when exposed to air: Chemical property

Explanation:

Physical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during physical change in which there is alteration in shape, size etc. No new substance gets formed during physical change.

Example:  Neon is a colorless gas at room temperature

At room temperature, mercury is a liquid.

Chemical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during chemical change in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

Example: Apple slices turn brown when exposed to air: It undergoes oxidation which is a chemical change

Phosphorus will ignite when exposed to air: It undergoes oxidation which is a chemical change

Which change of state is shown in the model?
leva [86]

Answer: deposition

Explanation:

Try process of elimination. We know it's not boiling because that is basically water turning into gas. It's not condensation because it's not water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
