According to Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
F=ma
where F is the magnitude of the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this problem, the object is the insect, with mass m=1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg. The acceleration of the insect is a=1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2, therefore we can calculate the force exerted by the car on the insect:
F=ma=(1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg)(1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2)=0.01 N

How do we find the force exerted by the insect on the car?
According to Newton's third law (known as action-reaction law), when an object A exerts a force on an object B, object B also exerts a force equal and opposite on object A. Therefore, the force exerted by the insect on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the object, so it is 0.01 N.

Which statement best describes a wave?
dedylja [7]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.

How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?
topjm [15]
The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain

Answer:This also means that Mercury's surface gravity is 3.7 m/s2, which is the equivalent of 38% of Earth's gravity (0.38 g). This means that if you weighed 100 kg (220 lbs) on Earth, you would weigh 38 kg (84 lbs) on Mercury.
