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.

Please help me!!! which of these could represent the third step of inquiry.
Rus_ich [418]

Choice c) could represent the third step of inquiry.

Explanation:

Inquiry based learning is organized into inquiry phases.

The five general inquiry phase are

Orientation, conceptualisation, investigation, conclusion and discussion.

The investigation phase can be further divided into experimentation phase.

When Andrew washes three separate loads of dirty laundry ,one on hot setting,one one warm setting and one on cold setting , he is experimenting to collect data and interpreting it.

Only if he investigates will he know, which process will be suitable for doling out cleanest clothes.

How does eating food produced locally benefit the environment?
fomenos

Answer:

Eating food produce locally makes it where big trucks don't have to bring it to the restaurant  

Explanation:

When the big trucks drive it they release pollutants into the air so therefore when you get stuff produced locally you don't have the big trucks polluting the air. So therefore it is better for the environment.

You drop a batitin a stationary elevator and the ball hits the floor in o 50 s. How long does it take for the ball to hit the fl
solmaris [256]

Answer:

option (a) 0.61 s

Explanation:

Given;

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground  = 0.50 s

Let us first calculate the distance through which the ball falls on the ground

from the Newton's equation of motion, we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,  

s is the distance

a is the acceleration

t is the time

here it is the case of free fall

thus, a = g = acceleration due to gravity

u =  initial speed of the ball = 0

on substituting the values, we get

s=0\times 0.50+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8\times0.50^2

or

s = 1.225 m

Now,

when the elevator is moving up with speed of 1.0 m/s

the initial speed of the ball = -1.0 m/s   (as the elevator is moving in upward direction)

thus , we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

or

1.225=-1.0\times\ t+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8t^2

or

4.9t^2 - t  - 1.225 = 0

or

t = 0.612 s

hence, the correct answer is option (a) 0.61 s

Which physical phenomena is responsible for the earth’s sky appearing blue? scattering reflection dispersion refraction
klio [65]

Answer:  Scattering reflection

Sunlight reaches earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gasses and particles in the air. Blue light is seen more than others because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
