Answer:

88.89kg

Explanation:

The formula for mass is m=F/a. If we plug in the values, we get m=400N/4.5m/s^2. The mass is 88.89kg. We know that the unit is in kg because one newton (N) is 1kg*m/s^2. The m/s^2 is cancelled out by the acceleration, and we are left with kg.

Which statement correctly compares ultraviolet light to visible light? Ultraviolet light has both a lower frequency and longer w

Effectus [21]

The correct statement is

Ultraviolet light has both a higher frequency and a higher radiant energy than visible light.

because ultraviolet light has wavelength smaller than the visible light hence has a greater frequency as compared to visible light. (frequency is inversely related to wavelength. hence smaller the wavelength , greater will be the frequency)

we also know that the radiant energy is directly proportional to the frequency. hence greater the frequency , greater will be the radiant energy.

Since the frequency is greater for ultraviolet light , it radiant energy is also greater

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

The average speed of a greyhound bus from lansing to detroit is 104.5 km/h. on the return trip from detroit to lansing the avera

Nitella [24]

The average speed of the bus from Lansing to Detroit is
$v_1 = 104.5 km/h$
while the average speed of the bus from Detroit to Lansing is
$v_2 =56.2 km/h$

The distance covered by the bus in the two trips is the same (the distance between the two cities), therefore, the average speed of the round trip can be calculated as the mean of the two speeds:
$v= \frac{v_1+v_2}{2}= \frac{104.5+56.2}{2}=80.35 km/h$
