Given Information:

Mass = m = 500 kg

Acceleration = a = 10 cm/s²

Required Information:

Magnitude of rightward net force = F = ?

Answer:

Magnitude of rightward net force = 50 N

Explanation:

From the Newton's second law of motion

F = ma

Where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

To get force in Newtons first convert 10 cm/s² into m/s²

10/100 = 0.1 m/s²

F = 500*0.1

F = 50 N

Therefore, the magnitude of rightward net force acting on it is 50 Newtons.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object is 500kg

m=500kg

The body accelerates at 10cm/s2

What is the magnitude of force?

The magnitude of force that push or pull a body of mass and causes it to change velocity i.e accelerate

The force is given as

Force= mass × acceleration

F=ma

The unit of mass(m) is kg

The unit of acceleration (a) is m/s²

The unit of Force(F) is Newton

So in the question given the acceleration is in cm/s², so we need to convert it to m/s

So, 1m=100cm

Then, 10cm/s²= 10cm/s² × 1m/100cm

So, a=0.1m/s²

Then applying the formula

F = ma

F = 500 × 0.1

F = 50 newton

The magnitude of force pushing the body forward is F = 50N

There are many theories as to why ice ages occur. The currently accepted theory is that ice ages are caused by _____.
Harman [31]

Earlier in the text this question is provided for, you should be able to find the passage, "The currently accepted theory attributes ice ages to small changes in Earth's orbit, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles describe how Earth's orbit gradually changes shape from more circular to more elliptical and back again. This happens roughly every 100,000 years. The orbital changes take Earth nearer and further from the Sun, which would affect the amount of energy reaching Earth."

Answer: Small changes in Earth's orbit

Waves in a fish bowl jostled by the Thingamajigger move to the sides at an average velocity of 0.50 m/s. If they occur once ever
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

0.125 m

Explanation:

In this problem, we have:

v = 0.50 m/s is the average velocity of the wave

T = 0.25 s is the period of the wave

We can find the frequency of the wave, which is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.25 s}=4 Hz

The problem is asking us to find the distance between two crests of the wave: this is equivalent to the wavelength. The wavelength is related to the average velocity and the frequency by the formula:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Substituting the numerical values, we find

\lambda=\frac{0.5 m/s}{4 Hz}=0.125 m

Expain how a hurricane develops
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A hurricane starts to form when warm air rises and then that warm air turns into cooler air. After a while of this happening large clouds and thunderstorms    are made. The clouds and thunderstorms keep growing and rotating from earth's Coriolis Effect. Then a hurricane forms.
