Answer:

Force of gravity, F = 980 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the box, m = 100 kilograms

We need to find the magnitude of the force of gravity acting on a box. It can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion which states the force is given by :

F = ma

a = acceleration

Here,

F = mg

g = acceleration due to gravity

$F=100\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2$

F = 980 N

Hence, the force acting on the object is 980 N.

A 912-kg car is being driven down a straight, level road at a constant speed of 31.5 m/s. When the driver sees a police cruiser

sergejj [24]

Answer:

786.6 N

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 912 kg

initial velocity of car, u = 31.5 m/s

final velocity of car, v = 24.6 m/ s

time, t = 8 s

Let a be the acceleration of the car

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

24.6 = 31.5 + a x 8

a = - 0.8625 m/s^2

Force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 912 x 0.8625

F = 786.6 N

Thus, the force on the car is 786.6 N.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

s = 23.72 m

v = 21.56 m/s²

Explanation:

given

time to reach the ground (t) = 2.2 second

we know that

a) s = u t + 0.5 g t²

u = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

s = 0 + 0.5 × 9.8 × 2.2²

s = 23.72 m

b) impact velocity

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2× 9.8 × 23.72)

v = √464.912

v = 21.56 m/s²

The number of electrons an atom would gain or lose when forming ionic bonds. It can be positive, negative or zero.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

In an ionic bond , an element will have to lose or gain electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.
The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion).

∴

The number of electrons an atom would gain or lose when forming ionic bonds cannot be zero.

Marcus tells Sabrina that for the last few months, he has not been able to detect moderate heat or cold with his fingertips. Whi

hram777 [196]

Answer: The free ending nerves.

Explanation:

At our fingertips, we have a lot of sensory nerve endings, that give information about changes that occur at your skin.

Like touching something with a given texture, feeling pain, or noticing changes in temperature.

There are different types of nerve endings, particularly the ones responsible to detect pain, and temperature are the free nerve endings.

So Marcus may have the free nerve endings damaged.
