A 2 N and an 8 N force pull on an object to the right and a 4 N force pulls on the same object to the left. If the object has a

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]

Answer:

The answer is "5.53 \ \frac{m}{s}"

Explanation:

apply the formula for calculating the average velocity to the relative air

V_{PG} =V_{PA}+V_{AG}

\Rightarrow  V_{PA} = V_{PG} -V_{AG}

Given value:

V_{AG} = -2 \ \frac{m}{s}

V_{PG} =3.53

\Rightarrow  V_{PA} = 3.53 - (-2) \\\\\Rightarrow  V_{PA} = 3.53 +2 \\\\\Rightarrow  V_{PA} = 5.53  \\\\

The final answer is "5.53 \ \frac{m}{s}" in the south-east direction.

According to a general theory of crime, individuals who engage in crime are also likely to engage in other risky behaviors, for
babymother [125]

Answer:

construct validity

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various psychologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question it seems that the researcher is using construct validity. This is the act of measuring or validating what the extent to which a claim is true. In this situation since the claim states that people involved in crimes tend to do speed and drugs, then the researcher compares the criminals responses to those areas to test the validity of the claim.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Alecsey [184]
If you've ever mixed water and oil together,you've probably noticed that the oil rises to the top and the water stays at the bottom-- no matter how much you try to shake them. This is because oil is less dense than water, making it float to the top. The molecules in oil are larger than those in water, so they don't pack as tightly together as they do in water. In a mixture of oil and vinegar, the<span> </span>oil <span>floats on the </span>vinegar/<span>water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom. So, if one material floats over another, the material on top is less dense.

2. A car accelerates uniformly from +10.0 m/s to +50.0 m/s over a distance of 225 m. How long did it take to go that distance? S
artcher [175]
Let's call the constant acceleration a.
At a time t, its speed will thus be v(t)=a*t+v0 where v0 is its initial speed, here 10 m/s. Hence v(t)=a*t+10.

From there we can deduce the position P(t)=a*t^2/2+10t+p0 where p0 is the initial position, here 0.

Hence P(t)=a*t^2/2+10t

Let's call T the time at which it's at 50 m/s, we know that P(T)=225m and that v(T)=50 m/s hence a*T+10=50 thus a=40/T and P(T)=(40/2+10)T=30T

Hence T=225/30=7.5

It took 7.5 seconds
