Answer: A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

Explanation:

Let's rewrite this as:

"For a constant force F, we can see that heavier objects accelerate less"

Then, as the mass increases, the acceleration of the object decreases.

This is known as an inverse relationship between acceleration and mass.

By second Newton's law we have that:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

So if the force is constant, we can write it as:

a = F/m.

In this equation, we can see that, if the acceleration decreases and F remains constant, then the mass m must increase (because it is in the denominator)

Then the correct option is:

A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

What is the 4th dimension? I have heard that it's time, it's a from of saying characteristic. I don't know I need help on this,

If you want to tell a friend about a fish you caught or a tree you cut down,
you're going to tell him WHERE you were ... its position in space, 3 numbers,
'x', 'y', and 'z' ... and also WHEN you were ... its position in time, one more
number.

Dimensions are numbers used to describe the location of a point, and the
difference in location between two points. With four numbers, you can exactly
describe the location of anything, and its distance from any other thing, in
space and time.

If the western component of the wind is half of the south, what is the angle of the wind with the south?

den301095 [7]

Answer:

This above a triangle that models our situation.

Explanation:

We have a two componens., since we have a western componet and southern component. One travel in a southern direction. and the other travel in the west.

Let the component that travel in the south be the length of a.

According to the problem, the westard component is half of that so let that length be a/2.

Now we must find the angle of the wind in the South.

This means that what is angle that is opposite of the western componet because that angle is the most southward angle. So know we apply the tan property.

$\tan(x) = \frac{opp}{adj}$

Our side opposite of the angle we trying to find is the western component and the side adjacent to it is the southern component. Also remeber since western and Southern negative displacements, we have

$\tan(x) = \frac{ - \frac{a}{2} }{ - a}$
