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.

Which is a characteristic of projectile motion?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
<h2>Right answer: It follows a curved path </h2>

The movement of a projectile is a movement in two dimensions (forming a curved path: a parabola shape) with <u>constant acceleration. </u>

<u> </u>

A projectile is any body or object that is thrown or projected by means of some force and continues in motion by its own inertia. This means the only force that acts on it while in motion is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u> (in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).  

Where gravity influences the <u>vertical movement</u> of the projectile, while <u>the horizontal movement</u> of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object to remain in motion at a constant speed (according to Newton's 1st law of motion sometimes called Law of Inertia).

The other options are <u>incorrect</u> because are <u>false</u>:

-The forward motion negates air resistance: There is always at least a small percent of air resistance, as long as that movement is done on Earth.  

-It has variable acceleration: In projectile motion acceleration is constant (gravity acceleration) .

-It is unaffected by gravity: The only force that acts on the projectile is due gravity.

What is the density of a substance that has a mass of 453g and a volume of 224mL?
Mrrafil [7]
Density is mass per unit volume. In this case, the unit is g/ml
Mass=453g                              ρ=453g/224ml
Volume=224ml                         ρ=2.022g/ml(rounded to nearest hundredth)
Density=?
ρ=mass/volume
Therefore the density of the substance is 2.022g/ml

A child is swinging back and forth with a constant period and amplitude. Somewhere in front of the child, a stationary horn is e
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

  We shall apply concept of Doppler's effect of apparent frequency to this problem . Here observer is moving sometimes towards and sometimes away from the source . When observer moves towards the source , apparent frequency is more than real frequency and when the observer moves away from the source , apparent frequency is less than real frequency . The apparent frequency depends upon velocity of observer . The formula for apparent frequency when observer is going away is as follows .

f = f₀ ( V - v₀ ) / V , f is apparent , f₀ is real frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of observer .

f will be lowest when v₀ is highest .

velocity of observer is highest when he is at the equilibrium position or at middle point .

So apparent frequency is lowest when observer is at the middle point and going away from the source  while swinging to and from before the source of sound .

A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes
OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

y(t) = 0

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s

So the horizontal distance travelled is

d=v_x t

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km
