When a force F is acting on an object of mass m, the acceleration of the object is (Newton's second law)
a= \frac{F}{m}
The first object has a mass of 10 kg and a force of 20 N is acting on it, so its acceleration is
a_1= \frac{20 N}{10 kg}=2 m/s^2
The second object has a mass of 18 kg and a force of 30 N is acting on it, so its acceleration is
a_2= \frac{30 N}{18 kg}=1.67 m/s^2
So, the first object has higher acceleration.

A student walks (2.9±0.1)m, stops and then walks another (3.9 ±0.2)m in the same directionWith the given uncertainties, what is
Anika [276]

Answer:

The smallest distance the student that the student could be possibly be from the starting point is 6.5 meters.

Explanation:

For 2 quantities A and B represented as

A\pm \Delta A and B\pm \Delta B

The sum is represented as

Sum=(A+B)\pm (\Delta A+\Delta B)

For the the values given to us the sum is calculated as

Sum=(2.9+3.9)\pm (0.1+0.2)

Sum=6.8\pm 0.3

Now the since the uncertainity inthe sum is \pm 0.3

The closest possible distance at which the student can be is obtained by taking the negative sign in the uncertainity

Thus closest distance equals 6.8-0.3=6.5meters

An electromagnet is a device in which moving electric charges (current) in a coil of wire create a magnet. What’s one advantage
docker41 [41]
Electromagnets have certain advantages over permanent magnets. One of the major advantage is, the amount of electric current can easily be controlled, in turn, magnetic field can be controlled. Out of all the options, option D would be the best answer.

In short, Your Answer would be option D) Electromagnets can easily be turned on and off.

Hope this helps!

Two velocity vectors, one is twice of the other, and separated by 90 Degree angle. If their resultant is calculated 90 m/s, what
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Vy = 80.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

V = 90 [m/s]

The components are Vx and Vy:

Therefore:

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2} + v_{y}^{2}   }

where:

Vy = 2*Vx ; because one is twice of the other.

90 = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}  +(2*v_{x})^{2} }\\ 90 =\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+4*v_{x}^{2}} \\90 =\sqrt{5v_{x}^{2}} \\90=2.23*v_{x} \\v_{x}=40.25[m/s]

and the bigger vector is:

Vy = 40.25*2

Vy = 80.5 [m/s]
