What two factors affect the rate of acceleration of an object?

Physics
1 answer:
Masja [62]3 years ago
5 0

For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.

Here's the equation again:

                                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have:                            Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .

Now the answer jumps out at us:  The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.

. A student thinks that the more protons an atom has, the more reactive it will be. Which will best disprove this student's idea
shepuryov [24]
The best answer to the question that is being stated above would be the first choice. To disprove the claims of the student that you need more protons to have more reactivity, then you proceed to compare the reactivities of lithium (Li) and krypton (Kr). Krypton has more protons than Lithium, but it is less reactive because it is a noble gas.

Nothing happens to the mirror. 

However, if the ray is within some suitable range of
wavelengths, the ray is reflected from the mirror's surface.
