Answer:
The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
Explanation:
Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time <em>t</em> is
A: <em>x</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em>
and car B has position at time <em>t</em> of
B: <em>x</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
<em />
They meet when their positions are equal:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m
<em>t</em> = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s
so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.
They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> - (100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>) = 100 m
(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 200 m
<em>t</em> = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s
so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.

Answer:
6666.67 Newtons
Explanation:
The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.
In this case:
- mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
- velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
- time= 6.00*10^-8 s
Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:
Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:
- F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
- F= 6666.67 Newtons of force
