Answer:
= 0.5 m/s²
Explanation:
- According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportion to the rate of change of linear momentum.
Therefore;<em> F = ma , where F is the Force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.</em>
<em>Thus; a = F/m</em>
<em>but; F = 5 N, and m = 10 kg</em>
<em> a = 5 /10</em>
<u>= 0.5 m/s²</u>
Answer:
Neither.
Explanation:
When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).
It will move towards a point with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:
⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)
As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.
Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.
Explanation:
Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.
then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:
a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)
Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0
Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.
if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s
and:
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t
Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)
And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.
You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)
Answer: A, B, and D,
C is incorrect because continental drift takes several centuries to move the tectonic plates witch is not an immediate impact leaving you with A,B, and D.
