A skateboarder is accelerating forward. How would his acceleration change if he had more mass?

Physics
1 answer:
exis [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

If the force remains the same, the acceleration would decrease

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is given by

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

F is the force applied to the object

m is the mass of the object

As we see from the formula, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, if the force F remains constant, this means that if the mass of the skateboarder increases, then the acceleration will decrease.

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude
inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.

A cosmic catastrophic event occurred that caused the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its plane of orbit to increase from 23
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The elimination of seasonal variations

Explanation:

Since the cosmic catastrophic event which occurred led to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of orbit to increase from 23.5° to 90°, the most obvious effect of this change would be the elimination of seasonal variations.

It should be noted that seasonal variation refers to the variation in a time series that's within a year which is repeated. The cause of seasonal variation can include rainfall, temperature, etc.

A 160.-kilogram space vehicle is traveling along a straight line at a constant speed of 800. Meters per second. The magnitude of
natulia [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

As force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

Acceleration is equal to rate of change in velocity.

Here velocity is constant so acceleration is zero.

It means the net force acting on the vehicle is zero.

An ion in a mass spectrometer follows a semicircular path of radius 14.8. What is the distance it travels?
aleksklad [387]

The circumference of a circle is (2π · the circle's radius).

The length of a semi-circle is  (1π · the circle's radius) =

                                                 (π · 14.8) = 46.5 (rounded)

(The unit is the same as whatever the unit of the  14.8  is.)
