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.

An imbalance of _____________ causes an object to be charged.
dezoksy [38]
An imbalance of electrons causes an object to be charged. A charged substance is one that has a net charge that is not zero. If the number of protons and that of electrons is equal in an object, the object is not neutral, but it has zero charge. Loss or gain of electrons determine the charge of an object, when an object loses electrons it becomes positively charged, but when it gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.

Use the circuit diagram to decide if the lightbulb will light. Justify your answer.
podryga [215]

Answer:

The lightbulb will NOT light.

Explanation:

You put me in a difficult position.  I can't help it, but the "sample answer" is by far the best way to explain this, briefly and correctly.  There's no other choice but to copy it.

This is a short circuit. The branch without the bulb has almost no resistance, so all the current will flow through that branch instead of flowing through the bulb.

<em>If</em> the lower switch were <u>opened</u>, THEN we would have a series circuit.  Current would no longer have any other choice but to flow through the bulb, and the bulb would light.

A cat with a mass of 5.00 kg pushes on a 25.0 kg desk with a force of 50.0N to jump off. What is the force on the desk?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

First of all the formula is F= uR,( force= static friction× reaction)

mass= 5+25=30

F= 50

R= mg(30×10)=300

u= ?

F=UR

u= F/R

u= 50/300=0.17N

Find the minimum radius of a helium balloon that will lift her off the ground. the density of helium gas is 0.178 kg/m3, and the
marysya [2.9K]

Volume of balloon = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Where r is the radius of balloon.

Here mass of woman = 68 kg

Mass of air displaced by a balloon with volume V = 1.29*V

Mass of helium inside balloon = 0.178*V

Total mass to be lifted by balloon = 68 +0.178*V

Buoyant force = 1.29V-0.178V=1.112V

So we have 1.112 V =  68+ 0.178*V

   0.934 V = 68

     V = 72.81 m^3

    \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]= 72.81

     r = 2.59 m

So radius of helium balloon = 2.59 m
