Answer: Hello there! The standard unit of work in the metric system, the joule, is named after the James Prescott Joule (1819 -1889), where a joule is $j = \frac{kg*m}{s^{2} }$ . He was a physicist who did a lot of work with thermodynamics, for example, he worked on the Joule-Thomson effect.

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?

Leno4ka [110]

During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.

With what force will a car hit a tree if the car has a mass of 3,415 kg and it is accelerating at

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

$F= 17,075\ N$

Explanation:

When the car is under an accelerating force and hits a tree, the instant force received by the tree is the same force that is accelerating the car.

The accelerating force can be calculated using Newton's second law:

$F=m\cdot a$

Where m is the mass of the car and a is the acceleration.

$F=3,415\ kg\cdot 5\ m/s^2$

$\boxed{F= 17,075\ N}$

A child whirls a 3.00 kg ball on a string .50 m from the axis of rotation in a horizontal circle. The ball makes 1 revolution in

melamori03 [73]

Answers:

a) $0.5 m/s^{2}$

b) $1.5 N$

Explanation:

a) The centripetal acceleration $a_{c}$ of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:

$a_{c}=\omega^{2} r$

Where:

$\omega=1 \frac{rev}{s}$ is the angular velocity of the ball

$r=0.5 m$ is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string

Then:

$a_{c}=(1 \frac{rev}{s})^{2} 0.5 m$

$a_{c}=0.5 m/s^{2}$ This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball

b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force $F$ ) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension ( $T$ ) in the string:

$F=T=m. a_{c}$

Where $m=3 kg$ is the mass of the ball

Hence:

$T=(3 kg)(0.5 m/s^{2})$

$T=1.5 N$ This is the tension in the string

when an object falls to the ground, only the object moves down but the earth's motion is not noticeable.why?

vlada-n [284]

Both the object and earth pulls each other towards itself but since the mass and pulling force of objects are very small the pulling force of objects are negligible.
