Answer:

It is Newton's second law

Explanation:

According to the Newton's second law, the force acting on the body is directly proportional to the mass of the body and the acceleration in the body.

Here acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity.

So, the force acting on the apple is given by

F  m g

where, m is the mass of apple.

This force is called the force of gravity and its direction is always towards the centre of earth.

Although one could definitely directly connect an "apple falling" with Newton's first law of motion, which is gravity, since the question states about acceleration, then we can relate the statement to Newton's second law of motion, the law of acceleration.

It takes the car 14 seconds to stop

Explanation:

A car is traveling at a constant velocity of 19 m/s when the driver puts

on the brakes to accelerate it at -1.4 m/s² until stopped

1. The initial velocity is 19 m/s

2. The acceleration is -1.4 m/s²

3. The final velocity is zero

We need to find how long it takes the car to stop

We can find the time by using the rule

→ v = u + a t

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the

acceleration and t is the time

→ v = 0 m/s , u = 19 m/s , a = -1.4 m/s²

Substitute these values in the rule

→ 0 = 19 + (-1.4) t

→ 0 = 19 - 1.4 t

Add 1.4 t to both sides

→ 1.4 t = 19

Divide both sides by 1.4

→ t = 13.57 ≅ 14 seconds

It takes the car 14 seconds to stop

A 2190 kg car moving east at 10.5 m/s collides with a 3220 kg car moving east. The cars stick together and move east as a unit a
Bezzdna [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum describing the inelastic collision of two bodies. By definition the collision between the two bodies is given as:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

Where,

m_{1,2}= Mass of each object

v_{1,2}= Initial Velocity of Each object

V_f= Final Velocity

Our values are given as

m_1 = 2190Kg

v_1 =10.5m/s

m_2 = 3220kg

V_f = 4.74m/s

Replacing we have that

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

(2190)(10.5)+(3220)v_2 = (2190+3220)(4.74)

v_2 = 0.8224m/s

Therefore the the velocity of the 3220 kg car before the collision was 0.8224m/s

vichka [17]
Flowing water. As a turbine is creating energy, as is a generator and a reservoir just holds still water. Flowing water can be pumped through a turbine or hydro scheme and be turned into energy. Another thing, as it says potential, it’s referring to something that could be/isn’t yet

Given that a fluid at 260°F has a kinematic viscosity of 145 mm^2/s, determine its kinematic viscosity in SUS at 260°F.
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

kinematic viscosity in SUS is = 671.64 SUS

Explanation:

given data

kinetic viscosity = 145 mm^2/s

we know

1 mm = 0.1 cm

so kinetic viscosity in cm is \nu =145 (0.1)^{2} =1.45 cm^{2}/s

other unit of kinetic viscosity is centistokes

1 cm^{2}/s = 100 cst

so 1.45 cm^2/s will be 145 cst

if the temperature is 260°f , then cst value should be multiplied by 4.632. therefore kinematic viscosity in SUS is = 4.362 *145 = 671.64 SUS
