<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

A student throws a baseball at a large gong 52 m away and hears the sound of the gong 1.73333 s later. The speed of sound in air

Arte-miy333 [17]

Speed = 52/1.57576= 33 m/s

Explanation:

Distance = speed * time

Given , the distance traveled by the baseball = 52 m

Speed of sound in air = 330 m/s

Total time = 1.73333 s .

Total time for the student to hear the sound of the gong is the sum of the time take for the baseball to reach the gong and the time taken by the sound to travel back.

Distance traveled by the sound is 52 m and the speed is 330 m/s

So time taken by the sound to travel back = distance traveled / the speed

=> time = 52/330 s = 0.15757 s

Time taken by the base ball to reach the gong is the total time - the time taken by the sound

=> time taken by base ball = 1.73333 - 0.15757 = 1.57576s

Speed of the base ball to reach the gong = distance / time

Speed = 52/1.57576= 33 m/s

You walk into the living room and find your family watching a nature documentary on PBS. Which lens does this network fall under

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Natural Sciences

Explanation:

This network would fall under the lens of Natural Sciences. This is based on what the family is currently watching. Nature documentaries focus on our Planet as well as all the wildlife in it. In these documentaries, they talk about how and why certain things in nature occur. All of this would be considered educational information on the subjects of Earth Science and Biology which are main subcategories under the lens of Natural Sciences.

The aurora is caused when electrons and protons, moving in the earth's magnetic field of ≈5.0×10−5T, collide with molecules of t

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

$r=0.341m$

Explanation:

The circular movement is produced by the magnetic field:

$F=q*v*B$

This force is a centripetal force because the electron moves in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. For a centripetal Force, that produces a circular orbit with a radius r:

$F=m*a=m*v^{2}/r$
