A force of 6N is exerted on a cart that is carrying a rock and produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2. If the cart has a mass of 1 k

g, what is the mass of the rock?

If you use the equation F=ma and re-arrange it to get m = F/a, you'll get the total mass. Then you have to subtract the mass of the cart from the total mass to get the mass of the rock. 

Thus, m = 6N over 2m/s^2. The total mass will then be 3kg. Subtracting 1kg from the total mass will then yield you 2kg, which is the mass of the rock. Hope this helps.

A toy car with an initial velocity of 5 m/s slows to a stop with an acceleration of -1.5 m/s^2.
enot [183]

Car's Initial velocity (u) = 5 m/s

Car's Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (Stop)

Acceleration of the car (a) = -1.5 m/s²

Equation used to solve this problem:

\boxed{ \bf{ {v}^{2}  =  {u}^{2}  + 2as}}

By substituting values in the equation, we get:

\rm \longrightarrow  {0}^{2}  =  {5}^{2}  +2  \times ( - 1.5) \times s \\  \\   \rm \longrightarrow 0 = 25 - 3s \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow 25 - 3s = 0 \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow 25 - 25 - 3s =0  - 25 \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow  - 3s =  - 25 \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow 3s = 25 \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow  \dfrac{3s}{3}  =  \dfrac{25}{3}  \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow s = 8.3 \: m

\therefore Displacement of the toy car (s) = 8.3 m

Does potential energy increase with temperature?
kogti [31]
-- The potential energy of a 12-lb bowling ball up on the shelf
doesn't have anything to do with the temperature of the ball or
the shelf.

-- The potential energy of a jar full of gas does depend on the
temperature of the gas.  The warmer it is, the greater its pressure
is, and the more work it can do if you let it out through a little hole
in the jar.  If it gets hot enough, it'll have enough potential energy
to blow the jar to smithereens.

The more particles a substance has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has.
olasank [31]
The statement '<span>The more particles a substance has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has' is true. </span><span>The kinetic molecular theory of gases has three main laws and one of them is the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is the behavior and movement it does in the surroundings. It is directly proportional to temperature wherein if you increase the temperature, the kinetic energy of a particle also increases. It will also decrease its movement or its kinetic energy if the temperature lowers. </span>
