<h3>Answer: </h3>

(a)

<h3>Explanation </h3>

Newtons First Law can be written as the formula

$f = ma$

since acceleration is the changing of velocity as its formula is

$\frac{v2 - v1}{t}$

Thus, a force must be acting on an accelerating/decelerating object

It is not mass as the mass does not act on the object but rather the mass is acting on the surface of the ground.

Changing velocity is already acceleration

inertia is the term used to describe Newtons first law

)) What do these two changes have in common?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Both are only physical changes

Explanation:

A physical change is a change that does not involve or alter the chemical composition of the substances involved. Physical changes form no new substance and can be easily separated into individual constituents. Example of physical changes are change in state, boiling, melting etc.

According to this question, two processes were given as follows:

1. mixing chocolate syrup into milk

2. rain forming in a cloud

These two processes are similar in the sense that they are both examples of physical changes.

A grain silo is shown below:grain silo formed by cylinder with radius 5 feet and height 175 feet and a half sphere on the topwha

nekit [7.7K]

Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them.
Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height
(22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere is
V=(4/3)(22/7)r^3
where r is the radius. Here that's also 5 since it fits on the cylinder.
Also we only want half the sphere so use
V=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3
Which we round upto 262.
Now add the parts together
13750+262=14,012 ft^3

To make a given sound seem twice as loud, how should a musician change the intensity of the sound?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

C. Quadruple the intensity

Explanation:

The intensity of the sound is proportional to square of amplitude of the sound.

I ∝ A²

$\frac{I_1}{A_1^2} = \frac{I_2}{A_2^2}\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1A_2^2}{A_1^2}$
