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.

In a compound microscope, the objective has a focal length of 1.0 cm, the eyepiece has a focal length of 2.0 cm, and the tube le
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The  value  is   m \approx   310

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  focal length of the objective is  f_o =  1.0 \ cm

    The  focal length of the eyepiece is  f_e  =  2.0 \  cm

    The  tube length is  L  =  25 \  cm

Generally the magnitude of the overall magnification is mathematically represented as

            m =  m_o  *  m_e

Where  m_o is the objective magnification which is mathematically represented as

        m_o  =  \frac{L}{f_o }

=>      m_o  =  \frac{25}{1 }

=>      m_o  =  25

m_e is the eyepiece magnification which is mathematically evaluated as

     m_e  =  \frac{L }{f_e }

     m_e  =  \frac{25 }{ 2}

      m_e  =  12.5 \  cm

So

    m =  25 * 12.5

     m \approx   310

In a fireworks display, a rocket is launched from the ground with a speed of 18.0 m/s and a direction of 51.0° above the horizon
Masja [62]

Answer:38.66 m

Explanation:

Given

launch angle \theta =51^{\circ}

launch velocity u=18 m/s

center of mass continue to travel its original Path so it center of mass will be at a distance of

R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

R=\frac{18^2\sin 102}{9.8}

R=32.33 m

Center of mass will be at x=32.33 m

(b)if one of the piece will be at x=26  m then other will be at

x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

x_{com}=\frac{\frac{m}{2}\cdot 26+\frac{m}{2}\cdot x_0}{\frac{m}{2}+\frac{m}{2}}

32.33=\frac{26+x_0}{2}

x_0=38.66 m

Can you explain to be the definition of Quantum Theory?
Vanyuwa [196]
Quantum Theory is commonly related to Quantum Mechanics, or the physics of sub-atomic particles. Quantum Theory defines the theories or educated ideas behind Quantum Mechanics. I believe this is the answer you are looking for.
