<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

A 2-kg toy car accelerates from 5 to 10 m/s in 2 seconds. Find the applied force.

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Force applied is 5\frac {kgm} {s^2}.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Force is defined as something which changes or tends to change the velocity of a body. And acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of a body per time. Both of them are vector quantities.

The initial velocity of the body = 5 m/s.

The final velocity of the body = 10 m/s.

So the change in velocity = 10 - 5 m/s = 5m/s.

Time period = 2 seconds.

So acceleration =\frac52 m/s^2= 2.5 m/s^2

The force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

Mass of body = 2 kg.

So, force applied =  2 \times 2.5 kgm/s^2. =5kgm/s^2.

How does the current in a circuit change if the resistance is doubled? The current is halved. The current is doubled. The curren
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The current is halved

Explanation:

The relationship between the current and the resistance is given by Ohm's Law, as follows:

V = IR\\I = \frac{V}{R}

where,

V = Voltage

I = Current

R = Resistance

Therefore, if we double the resistance:

I' = \frac{V}{2R}\\\\I' = \frac{1}{2}I

Hence the correct option is:

<u>The current is halved</u>

A car travels 13 km in a southeast direction and then 16 km 40 degrees north of east. What is the car's resultant direction?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

21.48 km 2.92° north of east

Explanation:

To find the resultant direction, we need to calculate a sum of vectors.

The first vector has module = 13 and angle = 315° (south = 270° and east = 360°, so southeast = (360+270)/2 = 315°)

The second vector has module 16 and angle = 40°

Now we need to decompose both vectors in their horizontal and vertical component:

horizontal component of first vector: 13 * cos(315) = 9.1924

vertical component of first vector: 13 * sin(315) = -9.1924

horizontal component of second vector: 16 * cos(40) = 12.2567

vertical component of second vector: 16 * sin(40) = 10.2846

Now we need to sum the horizontal components and the vertical components:

horizontal component of resultant vector: 9.1924 + 12.2567 = 21.4491

vertical component of resultant vector: -9.1924 + 10.2846 = 1.0922

Going back to the polar form, we have:

module = \sqrt{horizontal^2 + vertical^2}

module = \sqrt{460.0639 + 1.1929}

module = 21.4769

angle = arc\ tangent(vertical/horizontal)

angle = arc\ tangent(1.0922/21.4491)

angle = 2.915\°

So the resultant direction is 21.48 km 2.92° north of east.

A positively-charged piece of plastic exerts an attractive force on an electrically neutral piece of paper. This is because: 1.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

1 ) Electrons are less massive than than atomic nuclei.

Explanation:

A positively charged body tends to attract negatively charged particle and repel positively charged particle. Neutral body consists of atoms which contain both positively charged particles ( electrons ) and negatively charged particles ( protons ). Electrons are small and light in weight . Both electrons and protons experience equal and opposite force by an external charged body but shift in electron is more because of their being comparatively lighter. So the body gets polarized due to uneven distribution of charge. This results into body getting attracted through the process of induction.

Consider two conducting spheres with one having a larger radius than the other. Both spheres carry the same amount of excess cha
RSB [31]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that potential energy is the energy occupied by an object or substance due to its position is known as potential energy.

Therefore, more is the space occupied by an object more will be its position at a particular location. Hence, more will be its potential energy. On the other hand, smaller is the space occupied by an object, smaller will be the position holded by it.

Hence, smaller will be its potential energy.

Thus, we can conclude that for the given situation the statement, potential energy of the larger sphere is greater than that of the smaller sphere, is true.
