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

A 5.0-kg box has an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it is pulled by a horizontal force across a surface with μK = 0.50. Find the w
Maslowich

Answer:a) 34.5 N; b) 24.5 N; c) 10 N; d) 1J

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to used the second Newton law given by:

∑F= m*a

F-f=m*a where f is the friction force (uk*Normal), from this we have

F= m*a+f=5 Kg*2 m/s^2+0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 34.5 N

then f=uk*N=0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 24.5N

the net Force = (34.5-24.5)N= 10 N

Finally the work done by the net force is equal to kinetic energy change so

W=∫Force net*dr= 10 N* 0.1 m= 1J

One of the brightest nebulae in the night sky, the Orion Nebula may be seen with the unaided eye. The Trapezium is a young open cluster of four main stars in this magnitude 4 interstellar cloud of ionized atomic hydrogen.

<h3>What is the source of the Orion Nebula's crimson glow?</h3>
  • The hydrogen gas in the Orion Nebula, which is powered by radiation from young stars, gives off a crimson tint. The nebula's blue-violet regions are reflecting radiation from bright, blue-white O-type stars while the red areas are emitting light.
  • The Orion Nebula is one of many massive clouds of gas and dust in our Milky Way galaxy, say contemporary astronomers, and is one of the largest. It is approximately 1,300 light years away from Earth. This enormous hazy cocoon, which measures approximately 30 to 40 light-years in diameter, is generating potentially a thousand stars.

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?
Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

I_{total}=I_1=I_2

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

V_{total}=V_1+V_2

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

R_{total}=R_1+R_2

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.
