<u>Answer:</u>

0.5 ms−2

<u>Explanation</u>:

Newton's second law of motion is mathematically expressed as

F = ma ; where F is the force exerted on an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of that object.

In this case, the mass of the car and the force exerted on it are provided as information.

Let's plug in the values into the formula

F = ma :

⇒600

N =1200

kg × a

Let's express N

using SI base units:

⇒600 kg m s−2 = 1200 kg × a

⇒600 kg m s−2 = 1200 kg = 1200 kg

1200 kg × a

⇒1 on 2 ms −2 = 1 × a

∴ a = 0.5 ms−2

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is

0.5 ms−2

when its engine exerts a force of 600N

How are elements and<br> compounds identified?
irina1246 [14]

Elements are composed of single atoms and compounds are composed of different elements.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A single atom generally forms an element. It is an individual particle or atom present in the periodic table, mostly it refers with symbol. When two or more elements of different types or same types combine together, it is called as compound.

The compounds can be heterogeneous compounds and homogeneous compounds. Depending upon the combination of elements, this classification is done for compounds. The elements can form a compound by ionic, covalent, metallic or hydrogen bonding. The molecules can also be termed as compounds.

There is a 250-m-high cliff at half dome in yosemite national park in california. suppose a boulder breaks loose from the top of
lorasvet [3.4K]

Part A. For this part, we use two equations for linear motion:

<span>y = y0 + v0 t + 0.5 g t^2                   ---> 1</span>

<span>vf = v0 + g t                                         ---> 2</span>

First we solve for t using equation 1: y0 = 0 (initial point at top), y = 250 m, v0 = 0 (at rest)

250 = 0.5 (9.8) t^2

t = 7.143 s

Now we solve for final velocity vf using equation 2:

vf = g t

vf = 9.8 (7.143)

vf = 70 m/s

 

Part B. First we solve for the time it takes for the sound to reach the tourist.

t(sound) = 250 / 335 = 0.746 s

Therefore the total time would be:

t = 0.746 s + 0.300 s

t = 1.05 s

 

<span>Hence there is enough time for the tourist to get out before the boulder hits him.</span>
