M = 4kg
F =8N
a..?

F =m.a
8 = 4.a
a = 2m/s^2

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

Bob is studying waves in science and learns that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplit

Mrrafil [7]

For a simple harmonic motion energy is given with:
$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$
Where k is a constant that depends on the type of the wave you are looking at and A is amplitude.
Let's calculate the energy of the wave using two different amplitudes given in the problem:
$E_1=\frac{1}{2}k(1)^2=\frac{1}{2}k\\E_2=\frac{1}{2}k(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}k=2k\\$
We can see that energy associated with the wave is 4 times smaller when we decrease its amplitude by half. So the answer should be C.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The very high voltage needed to create a spark across the spark plug is produced at the transformer's secondary winding. <span>The secondary coil is engulfed by a powerful and changing magnetic field. This field induces a current in the coils -- a very high-voltage current.</span>
