Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 10 kg

We have

a =  \frac{20}{10}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Option D.

Value cannot be calculated without knowing the speed of the train

Explanation:

The speed of the beam can only be calculated accurately when the speed of the train is put into consideration. Based of the theory of relativity, the observer is on the ground, and the train is moving with the beam of light inside it. This causes a variation in the reference frames when making judgements of the speed of the beam. The speed of the beam will be more accurate if the observer is moving at the same sped of the train, or the train is stationary.

To get the correct answer, we have to subtract the speed of the train from the speed calculated.

The sound of a tuba is very low. Why?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

When you blow into a tuba the air vibrates very slowly.​

Explanation:

Tuba is a buzz instrument ie sound is produced in it with the help of lip vibration . It is the lowest pitched musical instrument in the brass family .

Due to absence of resonance in it , it produces music of lowest pitch , So when one blows into it the air column of the instrument vibrates very slowly producing low pitched sound.

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f
olga2289 [7]
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second

Why does helium have more spectral lines than hydrogen?
Lynna [10]

<span>This is because Helium has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur. The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible range.</span>

Suppose the initial kinetic energy and final potential energy in an experiment are both zero. What can you conclude?
Kisachek [45]

Initially, the experiment has only potential energy (since total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy). And at the end, the experment has only kinetic energy.
