Answer:

5 m/s2, left

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion, which  states that:

\sum F=ma

where:

\sum F is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have:

\sum F=30 N - 20 N = 10 N (to the left) is the net force on the object

m = 2.0 kg is the mass

So, the acceleration is:

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{10}{2.0}=5.0 m/s^2

in the same direction as the force (left).

Match the measuring instrument with the appropriate statement.
yaroslaw [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

1A, 2E, 3C, 4F, 5B, 6D

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Tilt meter is a an equipment used to measure very small changes from vertical level. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement A.

  Richter Scale is a scale of measurement of earthquake strength, So it is a correct match for blank space in statement E.

 Mercalli Intensity Scale measures effect of an earthquake, like damage caused.So it is a correct match for blank space in statement C.

  Seismograph is earthquake wave measuring instrument. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement F.

  Correlation Spectrometer (C.O.S.P.E.C.) is used to measure sulfur dioxide content in smoke. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement B.

  Moment Magnitude Scale is an earthquake measuring scale for great earthquakes. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement D.

The mountains on the Moon were formed by what process?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: The mountains that we observe on the moon, from earth are those rims forming the lunar mountains and mountain ranges. It has formed due to the asteroidal impact on the surface of the moon, billions of years back, resulting in the depressions and the highland areas. Due to this impact, a huge amount of heat energy generated that eroded and melted much of the materials from the moon's surface.

The kinetic energy of the pendulum bob in figure 15-1 increases the most between locations
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

 A and C

Explanation:

 Kinetic energy of a body is given by the expression, KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2, where v is the velocity and m is the mass of body.

 In case of a simple pendulum the maximum velocity is at it's stationary position.

So maximum velocity i at position C, which means maximum kinetic energy is at position A.

The velocity of pendulum reduces as the angle between vertical stationary and current position increases.

 So, velocity at E and A are the minimum, so at A and E the kinetic energy value is minimum.

 Now examining the options given, we will understand the kinetic energy increase is maximum in case of A and C.

36. Two point charges are separated by 6 cm. The attractive force between them is 20 N. Find the force between them when they ar
Alex

Answer:

The force between two charges when they are separated by distance 12 cm is  5N  

Explanation:

Here lets us consider two charges q_{1} and q_{2} .

Let F_{1}  be the force between them when they are separated by distance 6 cm

     F_{2} be the force between them when distance between them = 12 cm

            F_{1} = \frac{KQ_{1}Q_{2}}{6^{2}}  =20 N     ..................1

            F_{2} = \frac{KQ_{1}Q_{2}}{12^{2}}                 ...................2

 Dividing both equations , we get

        \frac{20}{F_{2}} =\frac{12^{2}}{6^{2}}

    F_{2} = 5N.

Here we need not to know the values of charges , since they get cancelled while dividing.
