A 48.9 kg meteor is moving in outer space. If a 8.6 N force is applied opposite the direction of motion, what is the deceleratio

Answer:

The deceleration is 0.18 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

Using Newton´s second law, we can calculate the deceleration:

∑F = m · a

Where:

∑F = the sum of all forces in a given direction.

m = mass of the object.

a = acceleration.

Solving for a:

∑F/m = a

The only force acting on the meteor is the applied force of 8.6 N. So, the acceleration will be:

8.6 N / 48.9 kg = a

a = 0.18 m/s²

The deceleration is 0.18 m/s² or, in other words, the acceleration is -0.18 m/s²

Have a nice day!

Explain how force and surface area affect the applied pressure.​
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

force and surface area are two factors affecting pressure on solids

more the force you apply, more will be the pressure

pressure and force are directly proportional meaning if Force is greater, pressure will also be greater

more the surface area of the solid less will be the pressure

surface area and pressure are inversely proportional meaning if surface are is big, pressure will be less, surface area small, pressure will be greater

5. Bill is swimming and drops his swim goggles in the pool. He looks from above the top of the water to see where they fell and
Alexus [3.1K]

The interaction of light that distorted the image of where Bill's goggles appear to be is Refraction.

<h3>What happens to the speed of light when it hits water in a swimming pool?</h3>

The light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the water, this slow down of the ray of light which  causes the ray of light to change direction and then the changes the speed of the light that causes refraction.

The swimming pool appears shallow than it appear to be  because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the swimming pool that is refracted by the water making the height of the swimming pool to be above the actual swimming pool bed and there by misleading the observer(Bill).
