Answer:

8.6 meters/second^2

Explanation:

Net force = 19 N - 1.7 N = 17.3 N

F = ma

17.3 N = 2 kg * a

a = 17.3 N / 2 kg  (N= kg*m/s^2)

a = 8.6 m/s^2

Frictional force always opposes applied force, so the net force on the cart would have to be 19N - 1.7N. The acceleration can then be solved by using the relation: F = ma. This is shown below:

Net force = 19 - 1.7 = 17.3 N

Acceleration = Force / mass
Acceleration = 17.3 / 2
Acceleration = 8.65 N/m

Which type of radio waves have the highest frequency and are used in radar detection? microwaves x-rays waves infrared waves gam
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: Microwaves

Explanation:

RADAR stands for radio detection and ranging.  Radio waves range from 300 GHz to 30 Hz. Modern radar uses higher frequency of waves for detection. These waves are microwaves (300 MHz-300 GHz). Microwaves are types of radio waves and are used in the radar detection.

The electromagnetic wave which has highest frequency is gamma wave but it is not used for radar detection.

Hence, the correct answer is microwaves are the type pf radio waves which have the highest frequency and are used in radar detection.

When a 4.32 kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring that obeys Hooke's Law, the spring stretches 2.92 cm.
Alika [10]

(a) 1.01 cm

First of all, we need to find the spring constant of the spring.

The force initially applied to the spring is equal to the weight of the block hanging on it:

F=mg=(4.32)(9.8) = 42.3 N

where m = 4.32 kg is the mass of the block and g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity.

When this force is applied, the spring stretches by

x=2.92 cm = 0.0292 m

We can find the spring constant by using Hooke's law:

F=kx

where k is the spring constant. Solving for k,

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{42.3}{0.0292}=1448.6 N/m

Later, the first object is removed and another object of mass

m' = 1.50 kg

is hung on the spring. The weight of this object is

F'=m'g=(1.50)(9.8)=14.7 N

So, if we use Hooke's law again, we can find the new stretching of the spring:

x'=\frac{F'}{k}=\frac{14.7}{1448.6}=0.0101 m = 1.01 cm

(b) 1.16 J

The work that must be done on the spring is equal to the elastic potential energy that would be stored in the spring, therefore:

W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where we have

k = 1448.6 N/m is the spring constant

x = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m is the new stretching

Solving the equation, we find the work that must be done by the external force:

W=\frac{1}{2}(1448.6)(0.04)^2=1.16 J

Momentum is a measure of the<br> of an object.<br> Which term accurately completes the sentence?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Momentum is define as the product of the mass and velocity of a body. It is measured in Kgm/s.

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of an object. When an object or a body of mass 'm' is moving with velocity 'v', then its momentum can be determined as;

momentum (P) = mass × velocity

i.e            P = m × v

                  = mv

It is measured in Kgm/s.

The change in momentum of a body is referred to as its impulse (Ft).

ΔP = m(v - u) = Ft

Where: P is the momentum of the object, m is its mass, v is its final velocity, u is the initial velocity, F is the force and t is the time in which the force acts.
