Answer:

Object 3 has greatest acceleration.

Explanation:

Objects Mass Force

1 10 kg 4 N

2 100 grams 20 N

3 10 grams 4 N

4 1 kg 20 N

Acceleration of object 1,

$a_1=\dfrac{F_1}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{4}{10}\\\\a_1=0.4\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of object 2,

$a_2=\dfrac{F_2}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{20}{0.1}\\\\a_2=200\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of object 3,

$a_3=\dfrac{F_3}{m_3}\\\\a_3=\dfrac{4}{0.01}\\\\a_3=400\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of object 4,

$a_4=\dfrac{F_4}{m_4}\\\\a_4=\dfrac{20}{1}\\\\a_3=20\ m/s^2$

It is clear that the acceleration of object 3 is $400\ m/s^2$ and it is greatest of all. So, the correct option is (3).

Mary pushes a crate by applying force of 18 newtons. Unable to push it alone, she gets help from her friend, Anne. Together they

maw [93]

<span>This problem is relatively simple, in order to solve this problem the only formula you need to know is the formula for friction, which is:

Ff = UsN

where Us is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force.

In order to get the crate moving you must first apply enough force to overcome the static friction:

Fapplied = Ff

Since Fapplied = 43 Newtons:

Fapplied = Ff = 43 = UsN

and it was given that Us = 0.11, so all you have to do is isolate N by dividing both sides by 0.11

43/0.11 = N = 390.9 which is approximately 391 or C. 3.9x10^2</span>

Statements best explains why a scientific theory can be revised?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer: Because new theories can come out that better explain observations and experimental results can replace old theories.

Explanation: Theories more than ten years old are usually out of date. Scientists want to prove that the work of other scientists is wrong. New evidence that supports a change prompts scientists to modify earlier theories.

How do you know that forces are balanced when static friction acts on an object?

lyudmila [28]

By looking at the acceleration of the object.
In fact, Netwon's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass m of the object and its acceleration:
$\sum F = ma$

So, when static friction is acting on the object, if the object is still not moving we know that all the forces are balanced: in fact, since the object is stationary, its acceleration is zero, and so the resultant of the forces (left term in the formula) must be zero as well (i.e. the forces are balanced).

Where is visible light located on the electromagnetic spectrum and why?

Marysya12 [62]

Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic ... The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons.

If something is being carried by westerlies, what direction is it moving??

sergejj [24]

Winds are immigrants. They're named for where they have already been and are coming from, not for where they're going.

A Westerly wind is coming from the West. Anything caught in it is being blown toward the east.
