The matter is a collection or composition of extremely small particles called "Atoms".

<u>Explanation</u>:

The matter is anything that has mass and which utilizes space by having volume.
Modern scientists describe the makeup of matter as a collection of tiny substances called atoms.
Matter can either be in solid, liquid, or gaseous state and even appear in plasma form.
Matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but only transferred from one form to the other.
Atoms are composed protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus, while the electrons orbit around the nucleus of the atom.
Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative.

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2 while traveling at 106.0 km/h. At that speed, the forces resistin

otez555 [7]

Answer:

"1155 N" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration,

$a=3 \ m/s^2$

Forces resisting motion,

$F_f=432 \ N$

Mass,

$m = 241 \ kg$

By using Newton's second law, we get

⇒ $F-F_f=ma$

Or,

⇒ $F=ma+F_f$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $=(3\times 241)+432$

⇒ $=723+432$

⇒ $=1155 \ N$

An upward force of 32.6 N is applied via a string to lift a ball with a mass of 2.8 kg. (a) What is the gravitational force acti

Igoryamba

Answer:

a) Fg = -27.4 N

b) Fnet = 5.2 N

c) a = 1.9 m/s2

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the ball, one directed upward (assuming this direction as positive, along the y-axis) which is the tension on the string (lifting force), and another aimed downward, which is the attractive force due to gravity.
Applying the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to a mass close to the surface of the Earth (in this case the ball), we can take the acceleration due to gravity like a constant, that we call by convention g, equal to -9.8 m/s2.
So, we can write the following expression for Fg:

$F_{g} = m*g = 2.8 kg*(-9.8m/s2) = -27.4 N (1)$

The net force on the ball, will be just the difference between the lifting force (32.6 N) and the force due to gravity, Fg:

$F_{net} = T -F_{g} = 32.6 N - 27.4 N = 5.2 N (2)$

According Newton's 2nd Law, the acceleration caused by a net force on a point mass (we can take the ball as one) is given by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F_{net} }{m} = \frac{5.2N}{2.8kg} = 1.9 m/s2 (3)$

Consider a standing wave on a string. What is the distance between two adjacent nodes in terms of the wavelength λ of the standi

amid [387]

The distance between the two adjacent nodes = λ/2.

<h3>What is Wavelength?</h3>

A periodic wave's wavelength is its spatial period, or the length over which its form repeats. It is a property of both travelling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings. The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of wavelength. The Greek letter lambda (λ) is frequently used to represent wavelength. The term wavelength is also occasionally used to refer to modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

The distance between the two adjacent nodes = λ/2.

for the standing wave ,the distance between any two adjacent nodes or antinodes is 1/2 λ.

What is my displacement if i walked 200 meters west then turned around and walked 150 meters east

Alinara [238K]

You're walking in one direction, and then the exact opposite of that direction, so you simply have to subtract the two distances.
200-150=50
You're 50 meters west of where you originally started.
You're west because 200 meters west is greater than 150 meters east. If the distance walked east was greater than the distance walked west, you would've been east of your starting position.
