Answer:

If the force on a cart doubles, the acceleration of the cart doubles.

Explanation:

For this problem, we need to consider the following equation:

Force = Mass x Acceleration

We can reasonably assume that the cart will have constant mass in the given force system. With this assumption we can say the following relationship:

Force is directly proportional to Acceleration within the system.

Given that our force on the cart is doubled, then our acceleration of the cart must also be doubled. You can mathematically express this as follows:

F = MA

2F = M * 2A

Hence, if force doubles, the acceleration doubles.

Cheers.

Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.

You rub a clear plastic pen with wool, and observe that a strip of invisible tape is attacted to the pen. Assuming that the pen

melomori [17]

Explanation:

It is known that opposite charges tend to attract each other whereas like charges tend to repel each other.

For example, when we rub a plastic pen with wool and it gets attracted towards an invisible tape then it means that there is an opposite charge present on both the objects.

A neutral object also tends to develop a charge when it comes in contact with a charged object.

Thus, we can conclude that the following statements are true.

The tape might be positively charged.

The tape might be uncharged.
