How could you keep an objects acceleration the same if the force acting on the object were double?

Physics

Bogdan [553]3 years ago

You can keep an object's acceleration constant if the force acting on it is double by adding another force going in the opposite direction of the first force. The second force will have to be as strong as the first force was originally in order for the acceleration to be the same. This is the same concept as if you have 2 of something, double it to get 4, and subtract 2 again. You'll end up with the same value you started with.

tatiyna

Answer:

F = - K x

a) K = 1.3 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 / .096 m = 133 kg/sec^2

b)  ω = (K/m)^1/2     angular frequency of SHM

ω = (133 / 1.3)^1/2 = 10.1 / sec

f = 2 π ω = 6.28 * 10.1 / sec = 63.5 / sec

P = 1/f = .0157 sec

The largest watermelon ever grown had a mass of 118 kg. Suppose this watermelon were exhibited on a platform 5.00 m above the gr
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: height = 3.98m

Explanation: by placing the watermelon at a height above the ground, it has a potential energy of the formulae

p = mgh

p = potential energy = 4.61kJ = 4610J

m = mass of watermelon = 118 kg

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

4610 = 118 * 9.8 * h

h = 4610/ 118 * 9.8

h = 4610/ 1156.4

h = 3.98m

The law of universal gravitation states that any two objects in the universe, without exception,
STatiana [176]
A. attract each other.

The Law of Universal Gravitation discusses the phenomenon of gravity. Remember that gravity is the force that keeps us on Earth; the Earth pulls us down, and our bodies pull back.  Gravity is the force of attraction, so the correct answer is a).

2. Why is natural selection a mechanism for biological change?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Natural selection is a simple mechanism that causes populations of living things to change over time.  Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success.
