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.

two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. At the end of the drive their distances are the same but
Anna11 [10]

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction.  The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km.  But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.

A molecular cloud fragments as it collapses because Choose one: A. the interstellar wind is stronger in some places than others.
kondaur [170]

The cause for a molecular cloud forming fragments when it collapses is indicated correctly by option D. density variations from place to place grow larger as the cloud collapses.

Molecular cloud:

A molecular cloud, also known as a stellar nursery, is a specific kind of interstellar cloud, whose density and size allow the development of molecules, absorption nebulae, and H II regions. In contrast, some regions of the interstellar medium mostly consist of ionized gas.

Molecular clouds are cold, dense areas of space where stars form. The cloud collapses into a proto-star when the gravitational force pulling it in outweighs the internal pressure pushing it in.

When a molecular cloud collapses, it is observed that the density varies from place to place with the variation increasing with collapse. As a result, the collapse is characterized by fragmentation of the cloud.

Thus the correct option is: D. density variations from place to place grow larger as the cloud collapses.
