A force causes a mass of 4 kg to have an acceleration of 8 m/s2. Suppose something causes the mass to be one-quarter of its orig

inal amount. What will happen to the acceleration if the amount of force used remains the same?
Physics

5 0

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F = ma

Given that m = 4 kg and a = 8 m/s²:

F = (4 kg) (8 m/s²)

F = 32 N

If m is reduced to 1 kg and F stays at 32 N:

32 N = (1 kg) a

a = 32 m/s²

So the acceleration increases by a factor of 4.

Explain Archimedes Principle
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.

How could rescue workers use squeezing or compressing to get energy to their flashlights during rescue missions?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

During rescue missions, different types of energy can be devices for flashlight, this could be human powered energy such as squeezing or compressing. In flashlight electrical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.

A squeezing or compressing to get energy for flashlight can be regarded as "DYNAMO PROCESS" it involves spinning of "fly wheels" into the flashlight through consistent squeezing ,which is connected to a dynamo(Dynamo supply electrical current). Hence the needed light is seen on the bulb of the flashlight.

The tension of a guitar string is increased by 40%. By what factor odes the fundamental frequency of vibration change? a. 1.13 b
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

<h3> b. 1.18</h3>

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in string is expressed as;

F1 = 1/2L√T/m .... 1

L is the length of the string

T is the tension

m is the mass per unit length

If the tension is increased by 40%, the new tension will be;

T2 = T + 40%T

T2 = T + 0.4T

T2 = 1.4T

The new fundamental frequency will be;

F2 = 1/2L√1.4T/m ..... 2

Divide 1 by 2;

F2/F = (1/2L√1.4T/m)/1/2L√T/m)+

F2/F = √1.4T/m ÷ √T/m

F2/F = √1.4T/√m ×√m/√T

F2/F = √1.4T/√T

F2/F = 1.18√T/√T

F2/F = 1.18

F2 = 1.18F

Hence the fundamental frequency of vibration changes by a factor of 1.18

in a lever, a load of 600N is lifted by using 400 effort. If the load is at the distance of 20cm and the effort at the distance
koban [17]

Explanation:

Load (l) = 680N

Effort (E) = 500N

Length slope (l) = 12m

Height slope (h) = 8 m

Output = load * height

680 *8 = 5.44 *103 J

The Input = effort * length = 500 *12 = 6000J

the Mechanical advantage (M.A) = load effort= 600500=1.36

the Velocity ratio (V.R) =lh=128 = 1.5

the Efficiency =M.A100%V.R= 90.6%

How do I solve the following problem?
lukranit [14]
Use the impulse-momentum theorem.

Ft = mv

Substitute your known values:

(120kg)(20m/s) = F(1.5)&#10;&#10;F= 1600N

Hope this helps!
