What is Newton's Second Law of Motion? (2 points) Every reaction is equal to the force applied. Forces are balanced when they ar

e equal and opposite. The smaller the mass of an object, the greater the acceleration of that object when a force is applied. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration. An object at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Well, they're not quite the way Newton expressed it, but out of all this mess of statements, there are two that are correct AND come from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:

<em>-- The smaller the mass of an object, the greater the acceleration of that object when a force is applied. </em>

<em>-- The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration.</em>

For the <u><em>other </em></u>statements in the question:

-- <em>Every reaction is equal to the force applied.</em>  True; comes from Newton's <u><em>3rd</em></u> law of motion.

-- <em>Forces are balanced when they are equal and opposite.</em>  True; kind of a definition, not from Newton's laws of motion.

-- <em>An object at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. </em>  True; comes from Newton's <em><u>1st </u></em>law of motion.

The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 50 kcal/kg and its melting point is -54oC. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liquid
sashaice [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

To melt the alcohol

Heat needed = M . L  = 2 . 25  = 50 kcal

To warm up the alcohol

Heat needed = M . sp. ht. . ∆t   = 2 . 0.6 . 100  = 120 kcal

Total heat needed = 170 kcal

Assuming that 0.6 kcal/ kg / ˚C  is the specific heat and that the answer is wanted in kcal ( a rather odd unit to be in use here.)

Please help me with a speech.The topic of my speech is Passion.​
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Passion

For me, standing on the summit of Mt Everest was the result of following a process. The process of mountaineering. I love mountaineering. I am passionate about it. I love the months of planning for an expedition, the months of sweating and training to prepare my body physically. The meticulous preparation of my equipment. Most of all I love the huge mental challenge I have to overcome before each climb to confront my own fear. All these reasons are why I climb, they are why I climbed Mt Everest and that is why I continue to climb.

Passion is an enormously powerful force. It gives us the strength to get through hard times and setbacks. It gives us strength to overcome our fears, to ignore what other people think of us, to be disciplined and make sacrifices in pursuit of our dreams. Passionate people do not want to take shortcuts – they consider that ‘learning the process’ is an important part of the journey.

In mountaineering it’s easy to spot those who are not passionate about the process. They want to stand on top of the mountain but they are not really interested in the process of climbing the mountain. I feel for these people. Success without hard work is a hollow, empty feeling. They never last long in the sport.

Just as in life, successful mountaineers are the ones who are passionate. They are not there just to stand on the summit. Their passion gives them the energy to work the hardest, fight the longest, and in the words of Winston Churchill “never, never. never give-up”.
