2. When an unbalanced force acts upon it

Think of a glass of milk resting on a table. The glass weighs a certain amount more due to the load it carries. It would be unaffected until and unbalanced force (such as a hand) carelessly knocks it over spilling the contents.

Hope this helps :)

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.

An engineer is designing a runway for a witch. Several brooms will use the runway and the engineer must design it so that it is
jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

x

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.

Two tuning forks produce sounds of wavelengths of 3.4 meters and 3.3 meters.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

wavelength, λ = 3.4 m

wavelength, λ' = 3.3 m

Speed, v = 340 m/s

f = v / λ = 340 / 3.4 = 100 Hz

f' = v / λ' = 340 / 3.3 = 103.03 Hz

Frequency of beat, n = f' - f = 103.03 - 100 = 3.03 Hz

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.
