1). Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (20 kg) x (0.5 m/s )

Force = 10 Newtons

2). Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

In this case, the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity.

1 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s )

Mass = (1 N) / (9.8 m/s )

Mass = 0.1 kg

3). Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

This formula is important. Memorize it !

You saw here that the same formula answered both of your questions.

It'll answer a lot more Physics questions that you haven't seen yet.

If you're taking a Physics class, there will DEFINITELY be at least one question on the final exam that will test you to see whether you know this formula and how to use it. Maybe more than one.

Answer: A is your answer i am sorry if i am wrong

Explanation:

he first PLCs were programmed with a technique that was based on relay logic wiring schematics. This eliminated the need to teach the electricians, technicians and engineers how to program a computer - but, this method has stuck and it is the most common technique for programming PLCs today.

the specific heat of water is 4.2 j/c. if it takes 31,500 joules to heat to warm 750 g of water, what was the temperature change

defon

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
where
m is the mass of the substance
$C_s$ the specific heat capacity
$\Delta T$ the increase in temperature

In our problem, the mass of the water is m=750 g, the specific heat is $C_s = 4.2 J/g ^{\circ}C$ and the amount of heat supplied is $Q=31500 J$ , so if we re-arrange the previous formula we find the increase in temperature of the water:
$\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}= \frac{31500 J}{(750 g)(4.20 J/g^{\circ} C)}=10^{\circ}C$
