Answer:

a=2m/s^2

Explanation:

If a cart of 4 kg mass has a force of 8 newtons exerted on it, what is its acceleration

first foremost, we define basic terms

Mass=is the quantity of matter in a body ,kg

Acceleration= change in velocity per time(m/s^2)

Force= Is that which tends to change a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line.

It is also the pull or push on a body.

From newton's second law of motion which states that rate of change in momentum is proportional to the force applied. Where k=1

Fαm(v/t)

F=km(v/t)

K=1

f=ma

Since v/t= acceleration

velocity/time=accel

8=4a

a=8/4

a=2m/s^2

The gravitational force between two objects will be greatest in which of the following situations?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational law states that, the force of attraction or repulsion between two masses is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

So,

Let the masses be M1 and M2,

F ∝ M1 × M2

Let the distance apart be R

F ∝ 1 / R²

Combining the two equation

F ∝ M1•M2 / R²

G is the constant of proportional and it is called gravitational constant

F = G•M1•M2 / R²

So, to increase the gravitational force, the masses to the object must be increased and the distance apart must be reduced.

So, option c is correct

C. Both objects have large masses and are close together.

What does it mean that a form of energy might take more energy to harness than it provides? Are renewable resources always renew
frez [133]
A form of energy might take more energy to harness than it provides because of dissipated energy. During the transformation process, not all of the energy will be converted to useful energy. Some of the energy are dissipated in the form of heat. Renewable resources are resources that are replenished at a faster rate than they are used. They become non-renewable when these resources are used up at a faster rate than they are replenished. We don't use renewable resources for everything that we use energy for because the energy transformation might be inefficient or requires a lot of capital and maintenance.

A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 6.4 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 120 A. (a) What is the mag
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to a long current carrying conductor

μ₀ / 4π x 2i / r  ( i = current , r = distance of point from wire )

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 120 / 6.4  ( i = 120 A , r = 6.4m )

= 37.5 x 10⁻⁷ T .

= 3. 75 X 10⁻⁶ T .

= 3.75 µT.

b )

The direction of this field will be horizontal hence it will affect magnetic needle.
