Newton’s Second Law establishes the relationship between mass, net applied force, and acceleration given by F=ma. Consider a 4 k

g box of holiday candy on a horizontal surface such as a table. There is a 10N applied force to the right and a 2N force to the left. The box accelerates with a magnitude of _________?

Answer:

a= 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

take to the right as positive

let Ftot be the total forces acting on the box , m be the mass of the box and a be the acceleration of the box.

Ftot = 10 - 2 = 8 N

and,

Ftot = ma

   a = Ftot/m

      = 8/4

      = 2 m/s^2

therefore, the acceleration of the box is of magnitude of 2 m/s^2.

Calculate the amount of heat (in kJ) required to convert 97.6 g of water to steam at 100° C. (The molar heat of vaporization of
Ratling [72]

Answer:

221.17 kJ

Explanation: Note the heat of vaporization is in kJ/mol,then to determine the number of moles of water: divide the mass by 18. Then multiply the number of moles by the molar heat of vaporization of water.

N = 97.6 ÷ 18

Q=molar heat *moles

Q = (40.79) * (97.6 ÷ 18)

This is approximately 221.17 kJ

Katelyn (55 kg) is practicing a drop jump in the biomechanics lab. She steps off a plyometrics box, lands on the force plate, an
suter [353]

Answer:

J = 357.5 kg*m/s

Explanation:

  • The impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate, is equal to the change in her momentum, according to Newton's 2nd Law.
  • Assuming as the positive direction the upward direction (coincident with the positive y-axis) we can express the initial momentum as follows:

       p_{o} = m*v_{o} = 55 kg * (-3.0 m/s)  (1)

  • By the same token, the final momentum is as follows:

       p_{f} = m*v_{f} = 55 kg * (3.5 m/s)  (2)

  • As we have already said, the impulse J is just equal to the change in momentum, i.e., the difference between (2) and (1):

      J = p_{f} - p_{o} = m* (v_{f} -v_{o}) = 55 kg* (3.5m/s- (-3.0m/s)) = 357.5 kg*m/s (3)

Describe the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of thermal energy transfer and provide an example of each.
Nikitich [7]

The difference between conductors and insulators is because of electronic structure of atoms and molecules.

 

Anywhere we have free electrons, we have a hard conductor where free electrons help in conduction.

 

In electrolytes, charged Ions do conduction.

 

Dielectrics (or insulators) don't have free electrons current.

 

Free electrons mean, the electrons that are not related with a specific atom, they are allowed to move nearby the crystal lattice.

If two equal charges are separated by a certain distance, the force of repulsion is F. Given F1, if each charge in F1 is doubled
Alisiya [41]

Answer:F_2=16\times F_1

Explanation:

Given

Force of repulsion between two charge particle is given by force F

Electrostatic force is given by

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

where q_1 and q_2 is the charges  of particle

r=distance between charge particle

=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}when charges are doubled and distance is reduced to half

i.e. q become 2 q and r becomes 0.5 r

F_2=\frac{k(2q)^2}{(0.5r)^2}

F_2=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\times 4\times 4

F_2=16\times F_1

4. The nucleus of an isotope differs in the number of
solong [7]

Answer: A plz brainliest me

An isotope is one of two or more forms of the same chemical element. Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, giving them the same atomic number, but a different number of neutrons giving each elemental isotope a different atomic weight.
