A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a = a

₁ + Fm where a₁ = 3.00 meter/second², F = 12.0 kilogram⋅meter/second² and m =7.00 kilogram. First, which of the following is the correct step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fractions in the expression in solving for a?
a. (m/m times a₁/1) + (1/1 times F/m)
b. (1/m times a₁/1) + (1/m times F/m)
c. (m/m times a₁/1) + (F/F times F/m)
d. (m/m times a₁/1) +(m/m times F/m )

Answer:

The correct option is option (a).

The acceleration of an object is \frac{33}{7} m/s².

Explanation:

Given expression is

a=a_1+\frac Fm

[ divide a whole number by 1 to turn into a fraction. Since a_1 is a whole number, so  a_1  is divided by 1 to turn into a fraction]

\Rightarrow a=\frac{a_1}{1}+\frac Fm

[The l.c.m of the denominators 1 and m is m. Now multiply both numerator and denominator by m of \frac{a_1}1 and multiply both numerator and denominator by 1 of \frac Fm]

\Rightarrow a=(\frac mm\times\frac{a_1}{1})+(\frac 11\times\frac Fm)

The correct option is option (a)

Given that,

F= 12.0 kg.m/s² , m=7.00 kg and a_1 = 3.00 m/s²

\therefore a=(\frac mm\times\frac{a_1}{1})+(\frac 11\times\frac Fm)

     =(\frac{7.00}{7.00}\times \frac{3.00}{1})+(\frac11\times \frac{12.0}{7.00})

    =\frac{21}{7}+\frac{12}{7}

    =\frac{21+12}{7}

    =\frac{33}{7} m/s²

The acceleration of an object is \frac{33}{7} m/s².

What best describes the speed of light waves in solids, liquids, and gases?
hammer [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Generally, the speed of light slows down when passing through a medium that is not a vacuum. This is not always the case, but I will be ignoring the rare/exotic exceptions. Light has a harder time traveling through solids and liquids than it does with gases.

How are newtons third law of motion applies to a system of objects
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion states that whenever a first object exerts a force on a second object, the first object experiences a force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that it exerts. ... Newton's third law is useful for figuring out which forces are external to a system.

Two balls are dropped from rest and allowed to fall. If one ball is allowed to fall for 1 s and the other for 3 s compare the di
kirill115 [55]

The second ball traveled a greater distance when compared to the first ball because the second ball spent more time in motion.

The given parameters;

  • time of fall of the first ball, t = 1 s
  • time of fall of the second ball, t = 3 s

The distance traveled by each ball is calculated using the second equation of motion as shown below.

The distance traveled by the first ball is calculated as follows;

h = u_0t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = (0.5\times 9.8\times 1^2)\\\\h = 4.9 \ m

The distance traveled by the second ball is calculated as follows;

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = (0.5\times 9.8\times 3^2)\\\\h = 44.1\ m

Thus, the second ball traveled a greater distance because it spent more time in motion.

True.
A zero on the Kelvin temperature scale is also know as Absolute Zero because that is when the atom(s) have literally no kinetic energy.
