This force on compass dials is an example of a force that acts at a distance.  (A compass doesn't need to touch the molten core of the Earth in order to work correctly.)

If I exert a 203 N force on a 58 kg box, what will the acceleration of the box be?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

<h2>3.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

m is the mass

f is the force

From the question we have

a =  \frac{203}{58} =  \frac{7}{2}   \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.5 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let us examine the given actions to see which ones generate heat and sound energy from mechanical energy.

A) Stretching a string.
The mechanical stretching creates tension in the string, which is released when the tension is removed. The generation of thermal or sound energy is minimal or negligible.

B) Squeezing a sponge ball
The sponge ball experiences compressive loading. This generates minimal or no heat and sound energy.

C) Throwing a ball upwards in the air
Air friction generates minimal or no heat at low velocities. At low velocities the pressure waves are too small to generate sound.

D) Striking a hammer on a nail.
A tremendous amount of force is applied over a small area to generate very high stresses that are in the plastic zone. A high amount of thermal energy is generated and the localized disturbance of the air generates audible sound.
This is the correct situation.
