when a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. when a certain constant

force acts ipon an objec twith mass 21khm the accerlation of the object is 3 m/2^2. If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is 9kg. What would this object's acceleration be?

Explanation:

When a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass.

a\propto \dfrac{1}{m}

or

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}

If m₁ = 21 kg, a₁ = 3 m/s², m₂ = 9 kg

We need to find a₂

So,

a_2=\dfrac{m_1a_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{21\times 3}{9}\\\\a_2=7\ m/s^2

So, if mass is 9 kg, its acceleration is 7 m/s².

Un auto si muove lungo una strada rettilinea​
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Un'auto si muove lungo un percorso rettilineo con velocità variabile come mostrato in figura. Quando l'auto è in possesso di A, la sua velocità è 10 ms-1 e quando è in posizione B, la sua velocità è 20 ms-1. Se l'auto impiega 5 secondi per spostarsi da A a B, trova l'accelerazione dell'auto.

40 POINTS <br> Can someone please answer me questions 16 and 17
Tatiana [17]
16. Solids cannot transport heat through convection. Because solids are stuck in place so they can't flow and since they can't flow, there is no convection.
17. It is because the metal conducts heat faster that it feels colder than the wood, which conducted heat slower. In other words metals are good conductors of heat. It takes away your body heat as you touch it and which makes your body temperature to drop, therefore you feel the coldness when you touch a piece of metal.

When you lift a book from the ground to your desk, what kind of work do you do negative or positive by lifting the book what do
skelet666 [1.2K]
It would be kinetic energy. Let's say the book is weighs 10 Newtons you need to use a force of 10 Newtons to lift the book. In other words it's positive. As you move the book you're giving it energy. Namely potential energy which will turn to kinetic energy if you let it go. So you're changing it's position and energy.

What is the primary source of energy for earths weather systems
PIT_PIT [208]
I believe the sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's weather system. The sun is the primary energy source for Earth's climate system which is the first set of essential principles of climate sciences. Additionally, it is the primary source that drives all weather events, including precipitation, hurricane and tornadoes. The sun drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.
