Answer:

a = 0.3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given: 45 N, 150 kg

To find: a

Formula: $a = \frac{F}{m}$

Solution: To find a, divide the force by the weight

A = F ÷ m

= 45 ÷ 150

= 0.3 m/s²

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.

Answer:

<em>Correct choice: b 4H</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of the mechanical energy</u>

The mechanical energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy GPE (U) and the kinetic energy KE (K):

E = U + K

The GPE is calculated as:

U = mgh

And the kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where:

m = mass of the object

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

When the snowball is dropped from a height H, it has zero speed and therefore zero kinetic energy, thus the mechanical energy is:

$U_1 = mgH$

When the snowball reaches the ground, the height is zero and the GPE is also zero, thus the mechanical energy is:

$\displaystyle U_2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Since the energy is conserved, U1=U2

$\displaystyle mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \qquad\qquad [1]$

For the speed to be double, we need to drop the snowball from a height H', and:

$\displaystyle mgH'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2$

Operating:

$\displaystyle mgH'=4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2 \qquad\qquad [2]$

Dividing [2] by [1]

$\displaystyle \frac{mgH'}{mgH}=\frac{4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}{\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{H'}{H}=4$

Thus:

H' = 4H

Correct choice: b 4H

If two connected points objects pass through the same set of three points, the shapes created by each will be identical, regardl

NeX [460]

Answer:

This is false

Explanation:

This is why the answer to this question is false. If these types of objects (2 points connected) should pass through same sets of 3 points, irrespective of the order that each object was plotted, we will not get identical shapes created.

The shape that is going to be created will be dependent on the pattern/order that was involved in the plotting. If it was identical, then we will have identical shapes. But if the order during plotting is different then we will have different shapes created.

Thank you!
