Explanation:

F = 20N m= m1 a=10m/s²

m=m2 a=5m/s²

F = ma

for the first one: 

f=m1 × a

20 = m1 ×10

20=10m1

m1=20/10

m1=2

for the second one :

f=m2×a

20=m2×5

m2= 20/5

m2= 4

since F=ma

F=(m1+m2) ×a

F =(4+2)×a

F =6×a

F=20(from the question above )

20=6×a

a=20/6

a=3.33

Answer:

Explanation:

force : 20N

acceleration : 10m/s^2

mass 1 : m1

acceleration : 5m/s^2

mass 2 : m2

f = ma

20 = m1 * 10

m1 = 2

20 = m2 * 5

m2 = 4

m1 + m2 = 2 + 4

= 6

f = ma

20 = 6 * a

a = 3.3

1. On a force vs. mass graph, what would be the slope of the line?

Luden [163]

1. By Newton's second law,

F = m a

so the slope of the line would represent the mass of the object.

2. If all the forces are balanced, then the object is in equilibrium with zero net force, which in turn means the object is not accelerating. So the object is either motionless or moving at a constant speed.

Is it possible for one ray to be shorter in length than another?

8090 [49]

Yes, even light rays can vary in wavelength and frequency, if the length of the ray is sorter, it becomes more energetic and has a higher frequency. If you're talking about a ray tracing diagram for lenses or mirrors, the length of the ray doesn't really matter unless you're finding the path length but there are some procedures for that too. Let me know if I missed what you were asking.

A lever is used to lift a heavy rock. The mechanical advantage of the lever is 4 and the lever applies a force of 800 N to the r

Lesechka [4]

The force applied to the lever is 400 N, because the force applied by the lever (800 N) divided by the mechanical advantage of the lever (4) equals
400 N.

(800/4) = 200

You are observing a spacecraft moving in a circular orbit of radius 100,000 km around a distant planet. You happen to be located

Natalija [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to centripetal acceleration, which will be the same - by balance - to the force of gravity on the body. To find this acceleration we must first find the orbital velocity through the Doppler formulas for the given periodic signals. In this way:

$v_{o} = c (\frac{\lambda_{max}-\bar{\lambda}}{\bar{\lambda}}})$
