To solve this problem we will proceed to use Newton's second law for which the mass (m) multiplied by the acceleration (a) is defined as the Force (F) applied on a body, mathematically that is,

F = ma

According to the statement for the first object, the acceleration is,

a = \frac{F}{m} \rightarrow 1^{st} Object

For the second object the acceleration is,

8a = \frac{3F}{m_2} \rightarrow 2^{nd} Object

Solving for the mass of the second object,

m_2 = \frac{3F}{8a}

m_2 = \frac{3F}{8(F/m)}

m_2 = \frac{3}{8}m

Therefore the correct answer is D.

determine the amount of potential energy of a 5.0-N book that is moved to three different shelves on a bookcase . the height of
klasskru [66]
Potential energy<span> is the </span>energy<span> that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. It is calculated by the expression PE = mgh where mg is the weight of the book and h is the height. It is calculated as follows:

PE = 50(1) = 50 J
</span>PE = 50(1.5) = 75 J
PE = 50(2) = 100 J

A 67 kg soccer player uses 5100 kJ of energy during a 2.0 h match. What is the
Oksanka [162]

The  average power produced by the soccer player is  710 Watts.

Given the data in the question;

  • Mass of the soccer player; m = 67kg
  • Energy used by the soccer player; E = 5100KJ = 5100000J
  • Time; t = 2.0h = 7200s

Power; P =\ ?

Power is simply the amount of energy converted or transferred per unit time. It is expressed as:

Power = \frac{Energy\ converted }{time}

We substitute our given values into the equation

Power = \frac{5100000J}{7200s}\\\\Power = 708.33J/s \\\\Power = 710J/s \ \ \ \ \ [ 2\ Significant\ Figures]\\\\Power = 710W

Therefore, the  average power produced by the soccer player is  710 Watts.

A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy
k0ka [10]

If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s  </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about:  What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ?  Answer:  Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about.  Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !

Which telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation?.
son4ous [18]

Space telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation.

<h3>What is telescope?</h3>

A telescope is an optical instrument that uses lenses, curved mirrors, or a combination of both to watch distant objects.

When atoms in a gas reach this temperature, they travel so quickly that when they collide, they release X-ray photons with wavelengths smaller than 10 nanometers.

Because the Earth's atmosphere prevents all X-rays from space, these wavelengths must be seen using space telescopes.

To study short-wavelength radiation, space telescopes must be put in orbit around the Earth.

Hence, space telescope is the correct answer.
