Hi there!
According to Newton's second law:
∑F = m · a, where:
∑F = net force (N = kgm/s²)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)
Rearrange to solve for acceleration:
F/m = a
20N / 4.0kg = 5 m/s²
Answer:
C. -12 ab
Explanation:
The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring
In this problem we have:
k = 4a
x = 3b
Substituting into the equation, we find:
And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).
This instrument is called a spring scale.
Answer:
D. Increases from pole to equator
Explanation:
I majored in Science
The speed of an object can be determined from the distance vs time graph.
You know that speed = distance/time
in the graph, distance/time = slope of the curve.
So SPEED IS GIVEN BY THE SLOPE of the curve in the graph.
● If the distance vs time curve is a straight line, parallel to time axis(x-axis), slope is 0. That means speed is 0. So the object is at rest.
● If the distance vs time curve is a straight line, with some non-zero slope; That means speed is nonzero and constant. So the object is in uniform motion.
● If the distance vs time curve is a curved, the slope is changing. That means speed is changing. So the object is in an accelerated motion.
