Answer:

Acceleration = 0.2m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 1000kg

Force = 200N

To find acceleration;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

F = ma

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

Making acceleration (a) the subject, we have;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{F}{m}

Substituting into the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{200}{1000}

Acceleration = 0.2m/s²

Barnard's star is a near neighbor of the Sun whose properties we know quite well. It is a type M4V with absolute magnitude 13.22
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The star is at a distance of 100 parsecs.

Explanation:

The distance can be determined by means of the distance modulus:

M - m = 5log(d) - 5  (1)

Where M is the absolute magnitude, m is the apparent magnitude and d is the distance in units of parsec.

Therefore, d can be isolated from equation 1

log(d) = (M - m + 5)/5

Then, Applying logarithmic properties it is gotten:

d = 10^{(M - m + 5)/5}  (2)

The absolute magnitude is the intrinsic brightness of a star, while the apparent magnitude is the apparent brightness that a star will appear to have as is seen from the Earth.

Since both have the same spectral type is absolute magnitude will be the same.

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

d = 10^{(13.22 - 8.22+ 5)/5}  

d = 100 pc    

Hence, the star is at a distance of 100 parsecs.

Key term:

Parsec: Parallax of arc seconds

State the Newton's second law of motion​
Llana [10]

Answer:

It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it. ... The momentum of a body is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.

What is the speed of an object in its rest frame?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A. 0 m/s

Explanation:

The rest frame of an object is defined as the reference frame that is moving together with the object, so at the same speed of the object.

In other words, the rest frame of an object is defined as the reference frame in which the object is at rest, which means that is the reference frame in which the object has speed equal to zero (0 m/s).

Therefore, the correct answer is

A. 0 m/s

An alert driver can apply the brakes fully in about 0.5 seconds. How far would the car travel if it
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken to apply brakes fully is, t = 0.5 s

The velocity of the car, v = 29.06 m/s

The distance traveled by the car in 0.5 s, d = ?

The relation between the velocity, displacement, and time is given by the formula                

                                d = v x t    m

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                  d = 29.06 m/s x 0.5 s

                                     = 14.53 m

Therefore, the car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m
