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 small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

An atom of arsenic has how many electron-containing orbitals
irina [24]

Answer:

The Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals. The orbitals s, p and d.

Explanation:

Arsenic is an element with an atomic number equal of 33, it means that it has 33 electrons in its orbitals in the following way:

1s^{2}

2s^{2}

2p^{6}

3s^{2}

3p^{6}

3d^{10}

4s^{2}

4p^{3}

Therefore, the Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals (s, p d).

Gardeners understand that plants have specific pH requirements. Most plants thrive in soil with a pH that is slightly acidic, ne
Delvig [45]

Answer:

D) Add a base like limestone or calcium carbonate.

Explanation:

-To reduce the soil's pH, you need to add an alkaline or base solution.

-Calcium carbonate has an alkanizing property and forms a carbonic acid and calcium hydroxide when dissolved in water.

-The solution will reduces the soil's pH.
