You shall use the equation for force given by the second Law of Newton, this is F = m*a, where F is the net force that acts over the object, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration that the object will acquire. From that equation you can find a = F/m, which means that a is direct proportional to F and invsersely related to m. So, small masses accelerate faster than large masses, and <span>the answer is the option B. the small mass accelerates faster.</span>

In the compound MgS, the sulfide ion has 1. lost one electrons. 2. lost two electrons. 3. gained one electron. 4. gained two ele
never [62]

Answer:

4.has gained two electrons

Explanation:

There exist electrovalent bonding the compound MgS . In electrovalent bonding, there is a transfer of electrons from the metal to non-metal.

Magnesium atom has an atomic number 12 and its electron configuration is 2,8,2

Sulfur atom , a non-metal has atomic number of 16 and its electron configuration = 2,8,6

This means that magnesium as a metal needs to loose two electrons from its valence shell to attain its stable structure.Also sulfur requires two more electron to achieve its octet structure.

Hence a transfer of electrons will take place from magnesium atom to sulfur atom, sulfur gaining two electrons.

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

Here we need to remember two of Newton's laws.

The second one says that:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

And the third one says that;

"If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A"

From the third law, if the car experiences a force F due to the impact with the truck, then the truck experiences the same force F due to the impact.

But this seems odd, because we would expect to see the car being more affected by the impact, right?

Well, this is explained by the second law.

Suppose that the mass of the car is m, and the mass of the truck is M.

such that M > m

Then for the small car we have:

F = m*a

And for the truck:

F = M*a'

Because the force is the same for both of them, we can write:

m*a = M*a'

a = (M/m)*a'

because M > m, then M/m > 1.

This means that the acceleration that the car experiences is larger than the acceleration for the truck, and this is why we would see that the car seems more affected by the impact, regardless of the fact that both vehicles experience the same force in the impact.

Certain rifles can fire a bullet with a speed of 950 m/s just as it leaves the muzzle (this speed is called the muzzle velocity)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

a) By v^2 = u^2 + 2as => a= 70291.70.

(b)By v = u + at => t= 1.58 ms.

(c)By v^2 = u^2 - 2gh => H = 46045.92 m.

Explanation:

a) By v^2 = u^2 + 2as

(950)^2 = 0 + 2 \times a \times 0.75\\a = 601666.67 m/s^2\\a/g = 688858.70/9.8 = 70291.70

(b)By v = u + at

950 = 0 + 601666.67 \times t\\t = 1.58 x 10^-3 sec = 1.58 ms

(c)By v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

0 = (950)^2 - 2 \times9.8 \times H\\H = 46045.92 m
