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!

HELP PLS
melomori [17]

If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. The particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. Another way to look at this is that the magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle. The particle’s kinetic energy and speed thus remain constant. The direction of motion is affected but not the speed.

A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the paper (represented by the small × ’s—like the tails of arrows). The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude. The result is uniform circular motion.

Define speed and what is it’s SI unit.
Nadusha1986 [10]
Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. ... Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour........?

Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves, which means that the oscillations occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, and they are the only type of waves that can travel through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, depending on their frequencies. From lowest to highest frequencies, we have:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency. They are used, for examples, for satellites, telecommunication, broadcasting.
