The new acceleration is $108 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

The equation can be rewritten as

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

In this problem, the initial acceleration is

$a=18.0 m/s^2$

Later:

- The net force is tripled: $F'=3F$

- The mass is halved: $m'=\frac{m}{2}$

Therefore, the new acceleration is:

$a'=\frac{F'}{m'}=\frac{3F}{m/2}=6\frac{F}{m}=6a$

which means that the new acceleration is 6 times the original acceleration, therefore

$a'=6(18)=108 m/s^2$

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.1 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r

EastWind [94]

Answer:

$1.64\cdot 10^{-24}J$

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

$h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js$ is the Planck constant

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelenght of the photon

For the microwave photons in this problem,

$\lambda=12.1 cm=0.121 m$

so their energy is

$E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.121 m}=1.64\cdot 10^{-24}J$

Blow up a balloon and rub it against your shirt a number of times. In doing so you give the balloon a net electric charge. Now t

tamaranim1 [39]

<span>Balloons are blown up, and then rubbed against your shirt many times. The balloon then touches the ceiling. When released, the balloon remains stuck to the ceiling. The balloon is charged by contact. The ceiling has a neutral charge. The charged balloon induces a slight surface charge on the ceiling opposite to the charge on the balloon. Balloon and ceiling electric charges are opposite in sign, so they will attract each other. Since both the balloon and the ceiling are insulators, charge can not flow from one to the other. The charge on the balloon is fixed on the balloon and the charge on the ceiling remains fixed to the ceiling. It just so happens that the<span> electrostatic force the ceiling exerts on the balloon is sufficient to hold the balloon in place (i.e. overcomes gravity, etc.).</span></span>

Oliga [24]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Universe, galaxy, solar system, planet, moon

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u>A galaxy</u>, such as our Milky Way Galaxy, is a collection of solar systems orbiting around a central core.
<u>A solar system</u> consists of a star, normally the sun and all of its planets, asteroids, comets and other bodies.
<u>A planet</u> is a nearly spherical body which is in orbit around the Sun. Planets are larger than moons.
<u>Moons</u> are typically rocky bodies which are in orbit around planets.
