If you push on an object that has a mass of 400 kg and it accelerates at 4 m/s2, what would the acceleration (a) be if the mass

was reduced to 1/4 as much?
(Hint: Instead of plugging 400 kg into the equation, plug 100 kg into the equation as the mass but keep the force at 1,600 N.)

a
1/4 m/s2

b
16 m/s2

c
8 m/s2

d
4 m/s2

Answer:

b  16 m/s².

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, the force exerted to the mass of 400 kg at an acceleration of 4 m/s² is:

F=400kg*4m/s^2=1600N

Now, since the mass is decreased to 100 kg (1/4 of 400 kg), and the force remain the same, the new acceleration should be:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{1600kg*m/s^2}{100kg}\\  \\a=16m/s^2

Thus, the answer is b  16 m/s².

Best regards.

From the gravitational law calculate the weight W (gravitational force with respect to the earth) of a 89-kg man in a spacecraft
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f

Explanation:

W=\frac{G \cdot m_{e} \cdot m}{(R+h)^{2}}

The law of gravitation

G=6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) m^{3} /\left(k g \cdot s^{2}\right)

Universal gravitational constant [S.I. units]

m_{e}=5.976\left(10^{24}\right) k g

Mass of Earth [S.I. units]

m=89 kg

Mass of a man in a spacecraft [S.I. units]

R=6371 \mathrm{~km}

Earth radius [km]

Distance between man and the earth's surface

h=261 \mathrm{~km} \quad[\mathrm{~km}]

ESULT W=\frac{6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) \cdot 5.976\left(10^{24}\right) \cdot 89}{\left(6371 \cdot 10^{3}+261 \cdot 10^{3}\right)^{2}}=773.22 \mathrm{~N}

W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f

A track coach records how long it takes a sprinter to run 100 meters the track coach is recording what dimension of behavior
melamori03 [73]
Behavior has at least six dimensions, which are: frequency, duration, latency, topography, locus, and force. Since the coach is recording how long it takes, the track coach is recording the duration behavior because duration is a synonym for time. Duration is your answer.

Which of the following represents the velocity of an object?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:Velocity can be represented by an arrow, with the length of the arrow representing speed and the way the arrow points representing direction. Objects have the same velocity only if they are moving at the same speed and in the same direction. ... The SI unit for velocity is m/s, plus the direction the object is traveling.
