If the mass bigger and the acceleration faster, the force is bigger(F = ma). The rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force applied and is in the direction of the resultant force(p=mc) The gravity can affect the resultant force as weight when the object launch.

sorry if there's any grammar mistake

Force is directly proportional to acceleration and inversely proportional to the mass. The acceleration vector of an object is in the same direction of the net force vector.

Momentum is mass times velocity. If you take the derivative of momentum with respect to time, you get the answer of (m*a) So therefore F = the derivative of momentum.

An object has potential energy depending on the situation it is in. This includes location mostly. If you launch an object on a cliff, it has a large amount of potential energy which is quickly converted into kinetic energy once it starts moving.

Gravity accelerates an object toward the center of mass. In a projectiles case, that would be earth. So once you shoot a projectile, it will accelerate towards the earth at -9.8 meters per second squared. Gravity itself gives the object potential energy

Idk if this helped at all. Hopefully it helped you understand the concepts and you can then research them yourself more in depth. My bad if I made any mistakes

Gap junctions in the intercalated discs allow impulses to be spread across the heart more quickly. This is because gap junctions allow particles/signals to pass through, thus making cells with gap junctions more able to interact.

One more thing—you posted this in the physics section rather than biology.

3. Imagine a 10kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s calculate the kinetic energy of this block

MatroZZZ [7]

The formula of the kinetic energy is:
$E_{k} = \frac{m v^{2} }{2}$
where m is a mass of the object, v is speed of the object at the moment of time. So we have:
$E_{k} = \frac{10* 20^{2} }{2} = 2000J$
The answer is 2000 Joules.
