Complete question is;
An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.
The results are shown in the image attached.
What figure is missing from the table?
Answer:
17.3 cm
Explanation:
The image attached showed values for load, extension and initial length.
Now, the first length there is 15.2 cm and as such it's corresponding extension is 0 because it has no preceding measured length.
The second measured length is 16.2 cm. Since it's initial measured length is 15.2 cm, then the extension has a formula; final length - initial length.
This gives: 16.2 - 15.2 = 1 cm
This corresponds to what is given in the table.
For the next measured length, it is blank but we are given the extension to be 2.1 cm. Now, since the initial measured length is 15.2 cm.
Thus;
2.1 cm = Final length - 15.2 cm
Final length = 15.2 + 2.1
Final length = 17.3 cm
Answer:
The answer to your question is a = 0.25 m/s²
Explanation:
Data
mass = m = 400 kg
Force = F = 100 N
acceleration = a = ? m/s²
Process
To solve this problem use Newton's second law that states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass of the body times its acceleration.
Formula
F = ma
solve for a
a =
Substitution
Simplification and result
a = 0.25 m/s²
