Answer:

C) Acceleration is directly proportional to net force divided by mass.

Explanation:

As per Newton's 2nd law we know that net force on the object is product of mass and acceleration of the object

so we will have

F = ma

so here we can say that the force and mass of the object is directly depends on each other and the equation is just product of mass and acceleration.

So in order to find the acceleration we have

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

so we will have

C) Acceleration is directly proportional to net force divided by mass.

Which force attracts all matter to each other

likoan [24]

Gravity is the force that attracts all matter to each other.

Explanation:

Sir Isaac Newton discovered Gravity when he saw a falling apple while thinking about the forces of nature.

Gravity is a fundamental force that causes objects to have weight. Gravity acts on all matter and is a function of both mass and distance. Each object attracts every other object with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force of attraction is, however, negligible between most objects because of their small size.

Gravitational force is given as:

$F = \frac{Gm1m2}{r^{2} }$

Where G is gravitational constant and is equal to 6.674×10−11 m³⋅kg⁻¹⋅s⁻²

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects.

r is the distance between the two objects.

The gravity is what makes an apple fall on the ground and gravity is the force that keeps us on the ground.

a. When the electric field between the plates is 75% of the dielectric strength and energy density of the stored energy is 2800

Olegator [25]

Answer: The value of the dielectric constant k = 1.8

Explanation:

If C= ε A/d and

Electrostatic energy W = 1/2CV^2

Substitutes C in the first formula into the energy formula.

W = 1/2 ε A/d × V^2

Let us remember that electric field strength E is the ratio of potential V to the distance d. Where V = Ed

Substitute V = Ed into the energy W.

W = 1/2 × ε A/d ×( Ed )^2

W = 1/2 × ε A/d × E^2 × d^2

d will cancel one of the ds

W = 1/2 × ε Ad × E^2

W/Ad = 1/2 × ε × E^2

W/V = 1/2 × ε E^2

Where Ad = volume V

E = dielectric strength

εo = permittivity of free space = 8.84 x 10^-12 F/m

W/V = 2800 J/m^3

Let first calculate the dielectric strength

2800 = 1/2 × 8.84×10^-12 × E^2

5600 = 8.84×10^-12E^2

E^2 = 5600/8.84×10^-12

E = sqrt( 6.3 × 10^14)

E = 25 × 10^7

75% of E = 18.9 × 10^6Jm

The permittivity of the material will be achieved by using the same formula

2800 = 1/2 × ε E^2

2800 = 0.5 × ε × (18.9×10^6)^2

2800 = ε × 1.78 × 10^14

ε = 2800/1.78×10^14

ε = 1.57 × 10^-11

Dielectric constant k = relative permittivity

Relative permittivity is the ratio of the permittivity of the material to the permittivity of the vacuum in a free space. That is

k = 1.57×10^-11/8.84×10^-12

k = 1.776

k = 1.8 approximately

Therefore, the value of the dielectric constant k is 1.8

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

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

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.
