Amy because she is lighter, so the more force will be put on her

I have this sheet and I don’t understand any of it at all

katen-ka-za [31]

I know this probably is not what you are looking for, but this is what I would suggest.

Write down on the side what values they are giving you and the corresponding variable used for that value.

Like for the first question, they give you mass is 3000kg.

On the side write

m = 3000kg

m is the variable used for mass

Then list any other variables they give you in the question and then what you are trying to look for.

a = 2m/s^2

F = ?

a is the variable for acceleration and F is the variable for force.

So now you have:

m = 3000kg

a = 2m/s^2

F = ?

You have a and m, and you are looking for F (force), you know that because it asks "with what force".

Also note, that you have to know what the variable is based on the units and you likely have some type of formula sheet with all of them listed.

You can use the variables and what is unknown to match it to a formula that will solve for the unknown variables. Also note, that it might not always be simply a=b+c, you may know what "a" and "b" are, but they may ask for c so you will have to rearrange the formula with some simple algebra.

This question however is simple. You can see you are going to use the formula

F=ma.

So now just substitute in your variables to solve for F.

(3000kg)(2m/s^2) = 6000N

<u>Make sure to write the units</u> which are probably on your formula sheet as well. Force is measured in Newtons, so you use the unit N.

Also note, if they gave you mass in grams (another unit), you cannot use that in the formula (your formula sheet would tell you the unit it must be in), so you would have to convert it to kg.

Hope this helps as a starting point. I don't intend to do your homework for you, but explain a process you can use to help you do it on your own.

Where do scientists believe the missing carbon is going? Why are they not sure?

White raven [17]

Answer: Scientists believe the missing carbon has found a sink in the Northern Forest. Scientist have come up with this idea because they believe consequences of global warming contributed to significant extent to the northern forest carbon sinking processes. In addition to that, scientists describe a process where the oceans of the world sink carbon to create a balance of the ecosystem. That is why they are not 100% sure.

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F

Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 7.2 Problems Using Mechanical Energy II. The Great Sandini is a 60.0-kg circ

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation a little, we have a compressed spring so it has an elastic energy that will become part kinetic energy and a potential part for the man to get out of the barrel, in addition there is a friction force that they perform work against the movement. So the variation of mechanical energy is equal to the work of the fictional force

$W_{fr}$ = ΔEm = $Em_{f}$ -Em₀

Let's write the mechanical energy at each point

Initial

Em₀ = Ke = ½ k x²

Final

$Em_{f}$ = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

Let's use Hooke's law to find compression

F = - k x

x = -F / k

x = 4400/1100

x = - 4 m

Let's write the energy equation

fr d = ½ m v² + mgy - ½ k x²

Let's clear the speed

v² = (fr d + ½ kx² - mg y) 2 / m

v² = (40 4.00 + ½ 1100 4² - 60.0 9.8 2.50) 2/60.0

v² = (160 + 8800 - 1470) / 30

v = √ (229.66)

v = 15.8 m/s
