Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf D.\ 6.4\ m/s^2}}

Explanation:

We need to find the acceleration of the 2 kilogram object. Let's complete this in 2 steps.

<h3>1. Force of 1st Object </h3>

First, we can find the force of the first, 8 kilogram object.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

F=m \times a

The mass of the object is 8 kilograms and the acceleration is 1.6 meters per square second.

  • m= 8 kg
  • a= 1.6 m/s²

Substitute these values into the formula.

F= 8 \ kg * 1.6 \ m/s^2

Multiply.

F= 12.8 \ kg*m/s^2

<h3>2. Acceleration of the 2nd Object </h3>

Now,  use the force we just calculated to complete the second part of the problem. We use the same formula:

F= m \times a

This time, we know the force is 12.8 kilograms meters per square second and the mass is 2 kilograms.

  • F= 12.8 kg *m/s²
  • m= 2 kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

12.8 \ kg*m/s^2= 2 \ kg *a

Since we are solving for the acceleration, we must isolate the variable (a). It is being multiplied by 2 kg. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 kg.

\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}= \frac{2\ kg* a}{2 \ kg}

\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}=a

The units of kilograms cancel.

\frac {12.8}{2}\ m/s^2=a

6.4 \ m/s^2=a

The acceleration is 6.4 meters per square second.

The _____(height or width) of a sound wave determines its _____(loudness or pitch).
postnew [5]
<h2>Answer: The <u>height</u> of a sound wave determines its <u>loudness</u>  </h2>

Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves, that is, they depend on a medium to propagate.

Among the characteristics of a sound wave, it is the amplitude, that is the degree of movement of the molecules of the medium in which the wave propagates.  

Depending on how high this amplitude is, the sound will be louder.
