Answer:

2kg

Explanation:

According to newton's second law of motion, force is equal to the product of mass of an object to its acceleration.

Force = mass × acceleration

Given a force of 12N

Acceleration = 6m/s²

Mass = Force/acceleration

Substituting the given values in the formula above, we will have;

Mass = 12/6

Mass of the softball = 2kg

Answer:

The question to your answer is: mass = 12 kg

Explanation:

Data

Force = 12 N

acceleration = 6 m/s²

mass = ?

Formula

Force = mass x acceleration (Newton's second law of motion)

mass = Force / acceleration

Substitution

mass = 12 N / 6 m/s²

mass = 12 kg result

Can lamp that works on a 2.5 v work on a 1.12 v ?

12345 [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thinking about the logics it can but it may be dim because 1.12 is lower than 2,5v so this will mean u lamp may not work or may work very dimely due to the low voltage it is receiving.

A spring scale exerts a net force of 8.5 N on an object. What is the object's mass if it has an acceleration of

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

mass of the object is 2.18 kg

Explanation:

Given

Force (F) = 8.5 N = 8.5 kg.m/ $s^{2}$

acceleration (a) = 3.9 m/ $s^{2}$

Mass (m) = ?

We know that the newton's second law of motion gives the relation between mass of ab object. force acted upon and the amount the object is accelerated. It is expressed in the form of an equation:

F = ma

mass, m = F/a

= $\frac{8.5 kgms^{-2} }{3.9 ms^{-2} }$

= 2.18 kg

Why do polar compounds tend to have higher melting points than nonpolar compounds

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The inter-molecular forces holding non-polar compounds together is low compare to that of polar compounds. Therefore, it will take less energy to break the bond for non-polar compounds and vice versa. That is why polar compounds have higher melting points than non-polar compounds.
