A sled is accelerating at 2 m/s2 because it is being pushed on ice by Jenny. Tommy then jumps on the sled (he has the same mass

as the sled). What has happened to the total mass Jenny is pushing, compared to before?

Answer:

The acceleration of the total mass decreases by half (1/2)

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of sled = 2 m/s²

From Newton's second law of motion, F = ma

⇒m = F/a

F is the force applied by Jenny

This force applied by Jenny should be the same, after Tommy jumps on the sled, but the acceleration will change.

F = m₁a₁ = m₂a₂

Since m₂ = 2m₁, then we calculate a₂

m₁a₁ = 2m₁a₂

a₂ = a₁/2

Therefore,The acceleration of the total mass decreases by half.

What evidence did Galileo use to prove the heliocentric model?
mel-nik [20]
<span>Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to use a telescope to study the heavens. Galileo made a number of observations that finally helped convince people that the Sun-centered solar system model (the heliocentric model), as proposed by Copernicus, was correct. These arguments can be divided into two kinds: Those that proved that the Ptolemaic model was incorrect and those that undermined the broader philosophy of Aristotelianism that included the Ptolemaic model. We'll first consider some philosophically important observations and then the ones that pro</span>

What is a current potential difference graphs?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Voltage and current in resistors

A graph of current against potential difference shows you how the current flowing through a component varies with the potential difference across it. The current flowing through a resistor at a constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across it.

A 1.10 kg box slides down a rough incline plane from a height h of 1.75 m. The box had a speed of 2.99 m/s at the top and a spee
madam [21]

Answer:

20.18 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of bx=m=1.1 kg

Height=h=1.75 m

Initial speed of box=u=2.99 m/s

Final speed,v=2.56 m/s

We have to find the mechanical energy lost due to friction.

Energy at top=K.E+P.E=\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=\frac{1}{2}(1.1)(2.99)^2+1.1\times 9.8\times 1.75=23.78 J

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

At bottom,h'=0

Energy at bottom=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh'=\frac{1}{2}(1.1)(2.56)^2+0=3.6 J

Energy lost=Energy(Top)-Energy(bottom)=23.78-3.6=20.18 J
