A net force of magnitude 36 N gives an object of mass m1 an acceleration of 6.0 m/s^2. The same net force gives m1 and another o

bject of mass m2 fastened together an acceleration of 2.0 m/s^2. What acceleration will m2 experience if the same net force acts on it alone?

This is a beautiful problem to test whether a student actually understands
Newton's 2nd law of motion . . . Force = (mass) x (acceleration). 

That simple law is all you need to solve this problem, but you need to
use it a few times.

m₁ alone:
                     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                       36 N = ( m₁ ) x  (6 m/s²)

                         m₁ = (36 N) / (6 m/s²)   

                         m₁  =  6 kilograms .

m₁ and m₂ glued together:
                     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                       36 N = (6 kg + m₂) x (2 m/s²)

                     6 kg + m₂  =  (36 N) / (2 m/s²)  =  18 kilograms

                               m₂  =  12 kilograms .

m₂ alone:
                     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                       36 N = (12 kg) x (acceleration)

                     Acceleration = (36 N) / (12 kg)

                     Acceleration  =   3 m/s²

What is the difference between biomass and fossil fuels main points?
skad [1K]

Answer:

Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Natural gas is the best fossil fuel in terms of energy output per unit of carbon dioxide emitted. Biomass is renewable because a new crop can be grown after each harvest, and biomass is a low carbon fuel. Biomass has the approximate chemical formula CHO.

Which word means "to get away from something"? <br> a become b dream c escape d practice
klemol [59]

The correct answer is - c. escape.

In a physical sense it can be used to escape from certain unpleasant, or dangerous situation. Example: I have to escape from this prison.

In a psychological sense it can be used to escape, move away, from a certain state of mind. Example: I have to find an escape from my depressive thoughts.

What does KE mean? *100 pts*
Alchen [17]

Answer:

it simply means KINETIC ENERGY

Explanation:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes

A submarine is 2.84 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

468 m

Explanation:

So the building and the point where the laser hit the water surface make a right triangle. Let's call this triangle ABC where A is at the base of the building, B is at the top of the building, and C is where the laser hits the water surface. Similarly, the submarine, the projected submarine on the surface and the point where the laser hit the surface makes a another right triangle CDE. Let D be the submarine and E is the other point.

The length CE is length AE - length AC = 284 - 234 = 50 m

We can calculate the angle ECD:

tan(\hat{ECD}) = \frac{ED}{EC} = \frac{100}{50} = 2

\hat{ECD} = tan^{-1} 2 = 63.43^o

This is also the angle ACB, so we can find the length AB:

tan(\hat{ACB}) = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{AB}{234}

2 = \frac{AB}{234}

AB = 2*234 = 468 m

So the height of the building is 468m
