Luda [366]

Answer:

From lowest to highest acceleration:

3rd train

2nd train

1st train

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be found by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

a is the acceleration

F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

We notice that for equal values of the forces F, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, greater mass means lower acceleration, and viceversa.

So, the train with lowest acceleration is the one with largest mass, i.e. the 3rd train consisting of 50 equally loaded freight cars. Then, the 2nd train has larger acceleration, since it consists of 50 empty freight cars (so its mass is smaller). Finally, the 1st train (a single empty car) is the one with largest acceleration, since it is the train with smallest mass.

The graph shows projected changes in the populations of the world.
malfutka [58]

Answer: C. Africa

Explanation:

The data given on the graph shows that:

Asia will grow from around 1,300 million to 5,000 million in 2050 which is an increase of:

= 5,000 /1,300 = 3.84 times

Europe will decrease over that period.

Africa will go from around 300 million to 2,000 million which is an increase of:

= 2,000 / 300

= 6.67 times

Mexico

, Central America, Caribbean Islands:

= 900 / 120

= 7.5 times

United States,  Canada, and Greenland:

= 400/120

= 3.33

Oceania:

= 50 / 13

= 3.85

From the options give, Africa will see the greatest increase at 6.67 times its population in 1950.

Một oto đang chạy với vận tốc là 10m/s thì tăng tốc và chuyển động nhanh dần đều sau 20s thì đạt vận tốc 14m/s
Tasya [4]

a) gia tốc = vf-vi / t

a = 14-10 / 20

a = 0,2ms⁻²

b) dưới dạng a = Δv / t

v = lúc

v = 0,2 × 40

v = 8ms⁻¹

như v = d / t

do đó d = vt

d = 8 × 40

d = 320m

Determine the apple's kinetic energy, KE, the gravitational potential energy of the system, gravity, and the total mechanical en
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

7.45

Explanation:

At 3.0 m PE = m*g*3.0, KE = m*g*(4.0 - 3.0)

At 2.0 m PE = m*g*2.0, KE = m*g*(4.0 - 2.0)

At 3.0 m PE = m*g*1.0, KE = m*g*(4.0 - 1.0)

At 0 m PE = 0, KE = m*g*h = total energy = 7.45 J
