Answer:

Huge amount of force

Explanation:

As per Newton's 2nd law of motion the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied on it. it can be expressed as

$F = mass \times acceleration$

Here the mass of the boulder is a lot. To give it large acceleration a huge amount of force will be needed to apply on it.

A student carried out an experiment adding different weights to a spring and recording the results. Look at the table of results

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.25 m.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the spring constant of the spring.

From the diagram, we shall used any of the weight with the corresponding extention to determine the spring constant. This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 0.1 N

Extention (e) = 0.125 m

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

0.1 = K x 0.125

Divide both side by 0.125

K = 0.1/0.125

K = 0.8 N/m

Therefore, the force constant, K of spring is 0.8 N/m

Now, we can obtain the number in gap 1 in the diagram above as follow:

Force (F) = 0.2 N

Spring constant (K) = 0.8 N/m

Extention (e) =..?

F = Ke

0.2 = 0.8 x e

Divide both side by 0.8

e = 0.2/0.8

e = 0.25 m

Therefore, the number that will complete gap 1is 0.25 m.

How are the spiral arms of the milky way detected?

Step2247 [10]

The spiral structure emerges when galactic clusters (open), H II regions and O & B type stars (young stars) are used as tracers. We know this to be true as other pinwheel galaxies exhibit the same patterns across these tracers as in the milky way.

2) The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of a football are 16 m/s and 20 m/s respectively. How long doe

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: 2.04 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be v, Angle of projectile be

Then the horizontal component = v cos θ = 16 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = v sin θ = 20 m/s

Time taken to reach the highest point is half the time taken for total flight.

Time for total flight,

$t = \frac{2vsin \theta}{g}$

$t'=\frac{vsin \theta}{g} = \frac {20 m/s}{9.8 m/s^2} = 2.04 s$

Thus, the football takes 2.04 s to rise to the highest point of its trajectory.
