Answer:

a = 12 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left

2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a

6 = 0.5*a

a = 12 [m/s²]

The lons entering the mass spectrometer have the same charges. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 8.20 kV
Ratling [72]

The calculated magnitude is  6.73 x 10³ V/m.

AMU is described as being one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom (12C). C makes up more than 98% of the carbon that can be found in nature, making it the most prevalent isotope. The magnitude of the field is the change in potential across a small distance in the indicated direction divided by that distance.

Potential difference = 8.20 kV= 8.20 x 10³ V

radius= 19.4/100=0.194 m

total distance that is circumference of the circle= 2πr =2 x 3.14 x 0.194

                                                                               = 1.218 m

therefore Magnitude= 8.20 x 10³ / 1.218

                                  =6.73 x 10³ V/m

Rita conducts an experiment on how the amount of precipitation each fall affects
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

As spring season is a yearly phenomenon so, Rita should organize her data on yearly basis. Firstly, she should plan the procedure of her experiment and collect the data according to it. Secondly, identify the attribute of each object of her experiment. Thirdly, she can organize and segregate her data in tabular form, graphical form or diagrammatically.

A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 16 meters apart. When a mass of 3 kilograms is tied to the middle of the cloth
Alla [95]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Poles = 2

Distance = 16 m

Mass = 3 kg

Sags distance = 3 m

We need to calculate the angle made with vertical by mass

Using formula of angle

\tan\theta=\dfrac{8}{3}

\thta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{8}{3}

\theta=69.44^{\circ}

We need to calculate the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline

Using formula of tension

mg=2T\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

3\times9.8=2T\times\cos69.44

T=\dfrac{3\times9.8}{2\times\cos69.44}

T=41.85\ N  

Hence, The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine
diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h
