Answer:

The acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 12 kg

horizontal force pulling the box forward, Fx = 48 N

frictional force acting against the box in opposite direction, Fk = 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 48 N - 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 36 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the acceleration of the box;

F = ma

where;

F is the net horizontal force on the box

a is the acceleration of the box

a = F / m

a = 36 / 12

a = 3 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

Unlike most real bulbs, the resistances of the bulbs in the questions below do not change as the current through them changes. A
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option 1 is correct.

The current passing through the brighter bulb is larger.

Explanation:

The brightness of the bulb is determined by the power, I²R

And since they all have equal resistances, the only factor different that could result in more or less power is the current, I through the bulb.

mafiozo [28]

The ideal gas constant is a proportionality constant that is added to the ideal gas law to account for pressure (P), volume (V), moles of gas (n), and temperature (T) (R). R, the global gas constant, is 8.314 J/K-1 mol-1.

According to the Ideal Gas Law, a gas's pressure, volume, and temperature may all be compared based on its density or mole value.

The Ideal Gas Law has two fundamental formulas.

PV = nRT, PM = dRT.

P = Atmospheric Pressure

V = Liters of Volume

n = Present Gas Mole Number

R = 0.0821atmLmoL K, the Ideal Gas Law Constant.

T = Kelvin-degree temperature

M stands for Molar Mass of the Gas in grams Mol d for Gas Density in gL.

You hear a sound in the distance. Suddenly the sound gets deeper, decreasing in pitch. Which can you assume about the sound wave
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer

Explanation:

This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded  for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes  us.

Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.
