Answer:

Because the moon returns to the same place on the sky once every siderial period (27.3 days), but the sun is also moving on the sky.Cycle of lunar phases takes 29.5 days. This is called the SYNODIC PERIOD

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use

polet [3.4K]

The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction.
Fnet = ma = F - Ff
12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

Please help :/ The same motor is used in rockets with different masses. The rockets have different accelerations. According to N

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

1. Newton's second law of motion states;

F = ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)

Slope = $\frac{a}{F}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{m}$ = $\frac{a}{F}$

Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.

At what speed does a 1,248 kg compact car have the same kinetic energy as a 18,777 kg truck going 26 km/h?

notka56 [123]

The speed of car is 100.8km/h

$KE = \frac{1}{2} m(v \: truck ) {}^{2}$

$= 0.5 \times 18777 \times \frac{26}{3.6} \times \frac{26}{3.6}$

$= 489708.79j$

$= \frac{1}{2} \times 1248 \times( v \: car) {}^{2}$

$= 624v {}^{2}$

$so \: v {}^{2} = \frac{489708.7}{624}$

$= 784$

$v = \sqrt{784}$

$v = 28m/s$

v car= 28×3.6

=100.8km/h

Hence, the speed of the car is 100.8km/h

Stomach acid is a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl). In this case the word dilute means

vfiekz [6]

I think the correct answer would be that there are a relatively small number of moles of HCl present. Dilute would mean that there are very few solute particles dissolved as compared to the solvent particles in the solution. Hope this helps.

What effect does a tripling of the net force have upon the acceleration of the object?

dsp73

The formula of net Force is:F = mawhere m is the mass of the objecta is the acceleration of the object
thus, if we triple the net force applied to the object:
3F = maa = 3F / m
The acceleration is also tripled since the force is directly proportional to the acceleration.
