It will accelerate. A force of magnitude <em>F</em> exerted on an object of mass <em>m</em> applies an acceleration <em>a</em> according to
<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>
Remember that force and accleration are vector quantities, so the object's acceleration would point in the same direction as the applied force. The other choices describe some possible outcomes, but
• it the object starts in motion, it can only stop moving if the force opposes the motion and acts in the opposite direction. The object would eventually stop, but only for an instant before changing direction and starting to move again. Consider a ball being thrown directly upward, reaching its highest point, then falling again.
• its speed (which is a scalar quantity) would only decrease if the object starts in motion and is slowed down. But if it starts at rest, its speed can only increase. Consider a ball being dropped from some height and gaining speed as it falls.
• its velocity will certainly change, but can only increase if the object is at rest, or if it's already in motion and the force points in the same direction.
Chromosomes are packaged by histone proteins into a condensed structure called chromatin. ... The two identical chromosomes that result from DNA replication are referred to as sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are held together by proteins at a region of the chromosome called the centromere.
Answer:
The frequency of the simple harmonic motion of a 67.6 kg diver on the board = 2.48 Hz
Explanation:
The frequency in simple harmonic motion is related to spring constant and mass causing the motion through the relation
f = (1/2π) √(k/m)
When mass = 10 kg, f = 6.90 Hz,
6.9 = (1/2π) √(k/10)
(√(k/10) = 6.9×2π = 43.354
k/10 = 43.354² = 1879.57
K = 18795.7 N/m
When a diver of mass 67 kg climbs the diving board, the total mass on the diving board now becomes (10+67.6) = 77.6 kg
Spring constant of the diving board doesn't change,
So, the frequency is then given by
f = (1/2π) √(18795.7/77.6)
f = 2.48 Hz
1) 3 miles/Hour
The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:
where
d = 1.5 mi is the distance
t = 0.5 h is the time taken
Substituting,
2) 1.34 m/s south
Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:
is the displacement in meters
is the time taken in seconds
Substituting,
And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
