How much does force increase if mass is doubled

2 answers:

F=ma
So if m=1 then F=1m
If the mass were to double (m=2) F=2m
So if you are to double the mass, you are essentially doubling the force

First of all, the question is worded somewhat ambiguously because mass does not necessarily imply that there is a force (i.e. an object could be stationary in a system with no gravity and not have a force, or something of the like). Moreover, simply because an object is twice the mass does not mean the force will change.

However, we know from Newton's second law that F = ma. Therefore, force will increase or decrease proportionally with mass. This means if an object maintains a contestant acceleration and its mass doubles, the force that it provides will also double.

What is DNA and how do DNA tests work?

maria [59]

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.DNA testing relies on comparing fragments of DNA (called “genetic loci” or simply “loci”) between an alleged parent and a child. A child receives one half of his DNA from the mother and the other one from the father moreover, the process is more or less random.

What is defect of vision

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The vision becomes blurred due to the refractive defects of the eye. There are mainly three common refractive defects of vision. These are (i) myopia or near-sightedness, (ii) Hypermetropia or far – sightedness, and (iii) Presbyopia. These defects can be corrected by the use of suitable spherical lenses.

If a force F is exerted on a charged particle when the particle enters a magnetic field B at a velocity v, which of the followin

mixer [17]

Answer:

The correct option is 'c': The Force vector (F) and the magnetic field vector (B) are always perpendicular.

Explanation:

The magnetic force that acts on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by

$\overrightarrow{F}=q\overrightarrow{v}\times \overrightarrow{B}$

As we can see that vector cross product is involved hence we conclude that Force vector (F) is always perpendicular to both the velocity vector (v) and the magnetic field vector (B) which may be at any angle with respect to each other.

Hence we conclude that vectors F and B are always perpendicular.

A potter spins his wheel at 0.98 rev/s. The wheel has a mass of 4.2 kg and a radius of 0.35 m. He drops a chunk of clay of 2.9 k

Bad White [126]

Answer:

$v_{f,w} = 1.791\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{f,c} = 0.972\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The situation can be modelled by applying the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

$I_{w} \cdot \omega_{o} = (I_{w} + I_{c})\cdot \omega_{f}$

The final angular speed is:

$\omega_{f} = \frac{I_{w}}{I_{w}+I_{c}}\cdot \omega_{o}$

$\omega_{f} = \left(\frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.2\,kg)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2} }{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.2\,kg)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (2.9\,kg)\cdot (0.19\,m)^{2}}\right)\cdot (0.98\,\frac{rev}{s} )\cdot \left(\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} \right)$

$\omega_{f} \approx 5.116\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The tangential velocities of the wheel and the clay are, respectively:

$v_{f, w} = (0.35\,m)\cdot (5.116\,\frac{rad}{s} )$

$v_{f,w} = 1.791\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v_{f, c} = (0.19\,m) \cdot (5.116\,\frac{rad}{s} )$

$v_{f,c} = 0.972\,\frac{m}{s}$
