Answer:
How much force is required to cause an object with a mass of 850 kg to accelerate at a rate of 2 meters per second squared (m/s^2)?
Explanation:
<em>1700N
</em>
<em>
Mass multiplied by acceleration gives you the amount of force needed for it.</em>
Answer:
A.) 42.7 m/s
B.) 0.33 m/s^2
C.) 90 kg
Explanation:
A.) If Justin races his Chevy S-10 down highway 37 north for 2,560 meters in 60 seconds, what is his velocity?
Velocity = displacement/time
Velocity = 2560/60
Velocity = 42.67 m/s
B.) The Chevy S-10 started rounding at 10 meters per hour. What is the acceleration at 30 seconds on the highway?
Acceleration = velocity/time
Acceleration = 10/30
Acceleration = 0.33 m/s^2
C.) The S-10 has a force of 30 N. What is the mass of the car?
Force = mass × acceleration
30 = mass × 0.33
Mass = 30/ 0.33
Mass = 90 kg
Correct choices are marked in bold:
travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces
travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light,
)
travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum
travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter
can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits
move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved
move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
