Answer:

The mass's acceleration is 5 m/s^2 in the minus X direction and 9,8 m/s^2 in the minus Y direction.

Explanation:

By applying the second Newton's law in the X and Y direction we found that in the minus X direction an external force of 10 N is exerted, while in the minus Y direction the gravity acceleration is acting:

X-direction balance force: -10 [N] = m.ax

Y-direction balance force: -m*9,8 \frac{m}{s^2} = m.ay

Where ax and ay are the components of the respective acceleration and m is the mass. By solving for each acceleration:

ax=(-10 [N]) / m

ay=-m*9,8\frac{m}{s^2} / m

Note that for the second equation above the mass is cancelled and, the Y direction acceleration is minus the gravity acceleration:

ay=-9,8\frac{m}{s^2}

For the x component aceleration we must replace the Newton unit:

N =\frac{kg.m}{s^2}

ax= -10 \frac{kg.m}{s^2} / (2 kg)

ax= - 5 \frac{m}{s^2}

A coating is being applied to reduce the reflectivity of a pane of glass to light with a wavelength of 522 nm incident near the
fredd [130]

Answer:

  t = 94.91 nm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light = 522 nm

refractive index of the material  = 1.375

we know the equation

       c = ν λ

where ν is the frequency of the wave

           c is the speed of light

   \nu= \dfrac{c}{\nu\lambda}

   \nu = \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{522 \times 10^{-9}}

       ν = 5.75 x 10¹⁴ Hz

the thickness of the coating will be calculated using

        t = \dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu_{material}}

        t = \dfrac{522 \times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.375}

              t = 94.91 nm

the thickness of the coating will be equal to t = 94.91 nm

Volcanoes that have fast flowing liquid lava will be narrow like a river
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Shield volcanoes, the third type of volcano, are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Flow after flow pours out in all directions from a central summit vent, or group of vents, building a broad, gently sloping cone of flat, domical shape, with a profile much like that of a warrior's shield.

Match these items.
Nitella [24]

Explanation :

(1) Involuntary muscles are the muscles that are not controlled by our will.

(2) Tendons are the connective tissues that join the muscle to bones. Tendons are tissues that have fibers.

(3) Cardiac muscle is also involuntary muscles. For example heart muscle. It shows contraction and relaxation throughout life.

(4) Voluntary muscle is the muscles that are not controlled by our will.  

(5) Biceps are the arm muscles.

Hence, this the required explanation as per options.

A 1.2 kg hammer slams down on a nail at 5.0 m/s and bounces off at 1.0 m/s. If the impact lasts 1.0 ms, what average force is ex
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔV

F = mΔV/Δt

The impulse acting on the hammer will equal the impulse acting on the nail

If we assume upward is the positive direction

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 1.2(1.0 - (-1.5)) / 0.001

F = 3000 N
