<h3>Answer: The acceleration doubles</h3>

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

Explanation:

Consider a mass of 10 kg, so m = 10

Let's say we apply a net force of 20 newtons, so F = 20

The acceleration 'a' is...

F = ma

20 = 10a

20/10 = a

2 = a

a = 2

The acceleration is 2 m/s^2. Every second, the velocity increases by 10 m/s.

---------------

Now let's double the net force on the object

F = 20 goes to F = 40

m = 10 stays the same

F = ma

40 = 10a

10a = 40

a = 40/10

a = 4

The acceleration has also doubled since earlier it was a = 2, but now it's a = 4.

---------------

In summary, if you double the net force applied to the object, then the acceleration doubles as well.

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force on an object, and inversely proportional to its mass.

So if an object's mass stays the same while the net force on it doubles, then <em>its acceleration will also double</em>.

We don't know anything about the "trials". This sounds like it might be a follow-up to a lab experiment that was performed when we weren't there.

We also don't know anything about "question 1".

What substances are acidic

Sedbober [7]

A substance with LOW pH. The lower the pH, the higher the acidity level is. pH has a direct effect on how acidic a substance is. For an example, battery acid. Battery acid has a pH level of about 1. This means that battery acid is very acidic. A substance is concidered acidic when it dips below the neutral pH level of 7.

An atom of potassium has an atomic mass of 39 amu and an atomic number of 19. It therefore has ______ neutrons in its nucleus.

FromTheMoon [43]

A=atomic mass
Z=atomic number (nº of protons).
N=neutons.

A=Z+N

Data:
A=39
Z=19

A=Z+N
39=19+N
N=39-19=20.

It therefore has 20 neutrons in its nucleus.

3.7.6. A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth. If it is at an altitude equal to twice the radius of the Earth, 2RE,

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

For acceleration due to gravity

g = GM / R² ---------------------------- ( 1 )

At height 2R , radius of orbit is 3R .

If speed of satellite be v

m v² / 3R = GMm / (3R)² ( centripetal force = gravitational force )

v² = GM / 3R -------------------------------------- ( 2 )

Dividing (1) and (2)

v² / g = R / 3

v² = gR / 3

v = √( gR / 3 )

When a hot object is placed in a water bath whose temperature is 25◦C, it cools from 100 to 50◦C in 150 s. In another bath, the

mixas84 [53]

Using Newton's Law of Cooling, the given are:
Temperature of the first bath (Ta1): 25C
a(final temperature)= 50C, b (initial temperature)=100C
x-y is the difference in time. In the first bath, 150s

dT/dt=-k(T-Ta)
$\int\limits^a_ b{(dT/(T-Ta1))} \, dt = \int\limits^x_y{-k} \, dt$
ln (T-25) [from a=100 to b=50]= -k*150
ln ((50-25)/(100-25))= -k*150

Solving for k=7.324081X10^-3

For the second bath: find Ta2 with dt=120s

dT/dt=-(7.324081x10^-3)*(T-Ta2)
$\int\limits^a_ b{(dT/(T-Ta2))} \, dt = \int\limits^x_y{-7.324081x10^-3} \, dt$
ln (T-Ta2) [from a=100 to b=50]= -(7.324081x10^-3)*120
ln ((50-Ta2)/(100-Ta2))= -(<span>7.324081x10^-3)</span>*120

Solving for Ta (second bath temperature)= 14.49 degrees Celsius
