2. When an unbalanced force acts upon it
Think of a glass of milk resting on a table. The glass weighs a certain amount more due to the load it carries. It would be unaffected until and unbalanced force (such as a hand) carelessly knocks it over spilling the contents.
Hope this helps :)
To determine the energy equivalent of an object, we use the famous equation of Einstein which is E=mc^2 where m is the mass of the object and c is the speed of light (3x10^8 m/s). We calculate as follows:
E = mc^2
E = 1.83 kg (3x10^8 m/s)^2
E = 1.647x10^17 J
Answer:
There are different ways to investigate density. In this required practical activity, it is important to:
record the mass accurately
measure and observe the mass and the volume of the different objects
use appropriate apparatus and methods to measure volume and mass and use that to investigate density
Explanation:
m = 5 kg
a = 2 m/s²
to find the force that accelerates the 4 kg object @ 2 m/s²
F = ma = 5 kg x 2 m/s² = 10 N
To find what acceleration 10 N would give a 20 kg object
a = F/m = 10 N/20 kg = 0.5 m/s
