When a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constan

t force acts upon an object with mass 4kg, the acceleration of the object is 15/ms2. If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is
10kg, what is this object's acceleration?

Answer:

a = 6m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

When mass = 4kg; Acceleration = 15m/s²

Required

Determine the acceleration when mass = 10kg, provided force is constant;

Represent mass with m and acceleration with a

The question says there's an inverse variation between acceleration and mass; This is represented as thus;

a\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{m}

Convert variation to equality

a = \frac{F}{m}; Where F is the constant of variation (Force)

Make F the subject of formula;

F = ma

When mass = 4kg; Acceleration = 15m/s²

F = 4 * 15

F = 60N

When mass = 10kg; Substitute 60 for Force

F = ma

60 = 10 * a

60 = 10a

Divide both sides by 10

\frac{60}{10} = \frac{10a}{10}

a = 6m/s^2

<em>Hence, the acceleration is </em>a = 6m/s^2<em />

Cheryl climbed a set of stairs and stopped at the middle step. She then walked down 2 steps, up 4 steps, down 3 steps, and up 5
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

There were 8 total steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so we start in the middle.

-2 + 4 = 2. We're back in the middle.

2 - 3 = -1. One away from the middle.

-1 + 5 = 4. Now you're at the top.

4 x 2 = 8

2=ln(x+7) solve for x
maria [59]

Answer:

e^2 -7 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

2=ln(x+7)

Raise each side to the base of e

e^2 = e^ln (x+7)

The e^ln cancel

e^2 = x+7

Subtract 7 from each side

e^2 -7 = x +7-7

e^2 -7 = x
