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

Physics
1 answer:
Masja [62]4 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.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:252 miles

Explanation:

Given

During his way to mountain it took 7 hr to drive

and during his return trip it took 4 hr to return

Let x be the distance between home and mountain

average speed for return is  27 miles per hour faster than his former trip

let v be the speed on his way to mountain thus v+27 is his return speed

thus 7=\frac{x}{v}----1

for return trip

4=\frac{x}{v+27}-----2

divide  1 & 2

\frac{7}{4}=\frac{x\cdot (v+27)}{v\cdot x}

7v=4v+4\cdot 27

3v=4\cdot 27

v=36 mph

thus x=7\times 36=252\ miles

Does the depth of a pot affect how water freezes
Iteru [2.4K]
In my opinion it does. The more water the pot holds, the longer you need to wait for it to freeze. Since there is more water, some parts may not be completely frozen. An experiment you can try is to get an ice cube container and a pot. fill both of them and put them in the freezer for the same amount of time. When you take it out, the ice cubes should be frozen leaving the pot with cold water.

german
Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.
