Answer:

D) 0.33 m/s² to the right

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law.  Take right to be positive and left to be negative.

∑F = ma

20 N − 5 N = (45 kg) a

a = 0.33 m/s²

The couch accelerates at 0.33 m/s² to the right.

Answer: acceleration = 0.33m/s² to the right.

Explanation: when two forces act in opposite direction along same axis thier resultant direction is always with that force of higher magnitude in this case 20N

Resultant force F = -5N + 20N = 15N to the right.

But

F = Mass * acceleration

acceleration = F/ mass

= 15N/45kg

= 0.33N/kg

Which is also 0.33m/s² to the right.

Bromine is a liquid at room temperature. The volume of a sample of bromine is measured in a 50 beaker and a 100 ml beaker. How w
Stells [14]

Answer:

The comparisons are;

The height of the bromine in the 50 ml beaker will be twice that of the 100 ml beaker

The measurement of the volume with the 50 ml beaker will be more accurate than the measurement taken with the 100 ml beaker, because the differences in the height of the bromine in the 50 ml beaker is more obvious than the differences measured with the 100 ml beaker.

The actual volume of bromine in both beakers will be equivalent

Explanation:

The properties of a liquid are;

1) The volume of a liquid is relatively fixed at conditions that are suitable for it to remain in the liquid state compared to the volume occupied by a gas

2) A liquid will assume the shape of a container in which it is placed

3) The surface of a liquid in a container is flat due in order that the attractive forces between the molecules of the liquid at the surface and inside the body of the liquid should be in equilibrium

Therefore, given that the volume of the Bromine is measured in 50 ml beaker and a 100 ml beaker, there will be differences in the measured height of the same volume of bromine in each beaker.

Which of the following is an example of energy changing from one form to another?
Anastaziya [24]

The correct option is

a fire


In fact, a fire is a conversion of chemical energy (contained in the molecules of the initial substances) into thermal energy (the heat released by the fire itself), therefore this is an example of energy changing from one form to another. All the other objects, instead, do not represent any form of energy conversion.

Why is the position vs. time graph for an object in free fall a curve?
Ymorist [56]
Under free fall, the object is falling with a velocity that is increasing uniformly. Since the gradient of position-time graph reflects the velocity, the gradient is increasing, i.e. curve.

Two identical spheres with m=3 kg each are rigidly attached to the rotating light rigid structure. The velocity of the spheres i
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Angular momentum of the system is 4.8 kg m^2/s

Explanation:

As we know that the angular momentum of the system of masses is given as

L = 2I\omega

here we have

I = m(0.2 + 0.4)^2

I = 3(0.6)^2

now we also know that

\omega = \frac{v}{0.2 + 0.4}

0.6 \omega = 2 m/s

now we have

L = 2(2)(0.6)(2)

L = 4.8 kg m^2/s

You are given a material which produces no initial magnetic field when in free space. When it is placed in a region of uniform m
seropon [69]

Answer:

This material exhibits paramagnetism.

Explanation:

A paramagnetic material has these features: It doesn’t have any magnetic properties when placed in an external magnetic field, it gains and then loses the magnetic property as the external field is removed.

Such materials have magnetic moments oriented in random directions, thus making the net magnetic moment, zero. But when placed in an external field, they do possess a net magnetic moment. When the magnetic field is removed, they lose the magnetic property.

Thus, the material which produces no initial magnetic field when placed in a uniform magnetic field produces an additional internal magnetic field parallel to the original field. Also, it loses the magnetic properties as soon as the external magnetic field is removed. Then, the magnetism the material exhibits is paramagnetic.
