According to Newton's second law of motion, C. an object accelerates in the same direction as that of the force applied.

You don't see this when you see the 2nd law's formula written as Force=mass·Acceleration ... there doesn't seem to be any information about directions there.

The thing is that this is supposed to be a VECTOR equation, like <em>Force</em>=m·<em>Acceleration .</em>  Written like that, it says that <em>Force</em> and <em>Acceleration</em> are vectors, and both sides of the vector equation have the same direction, so the vectors <em>Force</em> and <em>Acceleration</em> both have the same direction.

You place a light bulb 8 cm in front of a concave mirror. You then move a sheet of paper back and forth in front of the mirror.
Alika [10]

sorry - late reply...just stumbled across tis...hope u can still use it :)


By the mirror equation: 1/di + 1/do = 1/f

<span>

<span>where di = distance to image = +12cm (+ for real image)</span>


and do = distance to object = +8cm


Substitute and solve for f, the focal length

<span><span>
1/12 + 1/8 = 1/f
</span><span>
1/f = (8 + 12) / 12 * 8 = 20/96
</span><span>
so f = 96/20 = 4.8 cm</span>

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.
Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

L = 1 light year

L₀ = 100,000 light year

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{(3*10^8)^2} }

\frac{1}{100,000}  = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

v = 0.999999995 c

Therefore, the speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

People often overestimate the clarity of their intentions in their electronic communications because they underestimate the importance of tones of voice in communication.

Explanation:

Many factors intervene in communication together. We use words, we use non-verbal language through our gestures and attitudes, and we also use a certain tone of voice. If we focus on this last aspect, the tonality in the voice is decisive in many ways, which cannot be appreciated through electronic communications. With this we communicate emotions, attitudes and a degree of personal involvement. At the same time, the image we project on others largely depends on the tone of voice we have.

A certain machine changes a large input force into a smaller output force. how will the machine affect the distance over which t
Molodets [167]

A machine that lowers the input force is a step down machine. If the force is lowered, the distance at which the the force is applied will be lowered as well. Assuming that the work done by the force does not stay constant and is affected by force, the distance will be reduced.
