What graph would best represent acceleration as a function of mass when a constant force is applied?

Physics

The graphs of the acceleration as a function of mass and of the acceleration as a function of force are in attachment.

Explanation:

To answer both parts of the question, we refer to Newton's second law, which states that:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

a)

To answer this part, we re-arrange the previous equation as follows:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Therefore, we notice that if a constant force is applied, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object:

a \propto \frac{1}{m}

this means that if the mass increases, the acceleration decreases, and if the mass decreases, the acceleration increases.

In a graph of acceleration vs mass, the curve representing this relationship would be a hyperbole. The graph is shown as the first graph in the attached picture.

b)

As before, we re-arrange the previous equation as follows:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Here we notice that if the object has a constant mass, the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied on the object:

a \propto F

this means that when the force increases, the acceleration increases, and when the force decreases, the acceleration decreases.

In a graph of acceleration vs force, the curve representing this relationship would be a straight line, as shown in the second graph in the attached picture.

A passenger on a Ferris wheel moves in a vertical circle at a constant speed. Are the forces on her balanced?
vovikov84 [41]

C.  The force is a constant change,  because her position on the Ferris wheel will constantly change.  I believe this is the answer, but use sources to double check.  I might use different vocab. then your teachers.

The throwing back by a wall or barrier of a sound wave without absorbing<br> it. *<br> 1 point
Semenov [28]

Answer:Reflection

Explanation:

The throwing back of a sound wave without absorbing it is called reflection

In acoustic reflection of sound is termed as echo i.e. sound arrived at the listener after a particular delay depending upon the position of barrier to the observer.

The reflection of sound is used in many devices like megaphone, trumpets, etc. It is also used in auditorium such that the ceiling of the auditorium is curved for multiple reflections of sound so that sound can be reached at every corner of the auditorium.

What is thermal energy?A hot potato at 100 ºF is placed in a bowl of soup at 80 ºF. The surrounding room is at 65ºF. Which corre
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1. Thermal Energy is the internal energy that is produced from the temperature of a heated substance/object.

2. From the potato to the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room

Explanation:

1. When an object or substance is heated it causes a rise in temperature which makes the atoms and molecules within the object move/vibrate faster and collide with each other. This kinetic energy energy comes from the temperature of the object being heated and is the thermal energy.

2. The atoms present in a hot object have higher kinetic energy when compared to a colder object and usually flow towards the colder object. This is why it is possible for the hot potato whose temperature is higher than the bowl of soup to flow towards the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room.
