Answer:

a.) 600N

b.) 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

a.)

In order to solve for the needed force, you must use Newton's 2nd law which states that a force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration.

Basically: Force = mass * acceleration ; F = ma

Since both mass and acceleration are already given, just plug them into the formula and solve for force:

Mass = 200kg

Acceleration = 3m/s^2

F = m * a = 200 * 3 = 600kg * m/s^2 = 600N

b.)

In order to find the acceleration, like the hint already says, you need to find the net force first and then use Newton's 2nd law.

To calculate net force:

Since both forces are parallel (affect the same axis) and in opposite directions, you can subtract the two in order to find resultant magnitude. The resultant direction is the direction of the force with the large magnitude.

Net Force: 8N - 4N = 4N

Net Force Direction: since 8N > 4N, the direction is in the same direciton as the 8N force = Left

Finally, you find acceleration using newton's 2nd law, F = ma.

Since you already know mass and net force, plug in to solve for acceleration:

4N = 2kg * a

a = 4 N / 2kg = 2m/s^2

Which phrase desenbes an irregular galaxy ?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

contains many young stars

Explanation:

Irregular galaxies have <em>no definite shape</em>, which means that the first option is incorrect. They are definitely not round.

However,<u> they contain many young stars because the degree of star formation is fast.</u> They also contain old stars. Thus, the second choice is correct.

The "spiral galaxy" is the type of galaxy that has arms that extend from the center. These arms look "spiral," which influenced its name. This makes the last choice incorrect.

They are actually <u>smaller than the other types of galaxies.</u> This makes them <em>prone to collisions</em>. This makes the last choice incorrect.

Leokris [45]
I believe the correct answer would be kimberlite. Diamonds are usually found in pipes 50 to 200 m across made of kimberlite. It is an igneous rock that is known to contain traces of diamonds. It is named base on the town where it was discovered which is Kimberley, South Africa.
