Answer:

4 m/s² down

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the net force acting on the object.

The net force acting on the object from the left and right side is zero because the same force is applied on both sides.

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the object from the up and down side. This can be obtained as follow:

Force up (Fᵤ) = 15 N

Force down (Fₔ) = 25 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₔ – Fᵤ

Fₙ = 25 – 15

Fₙ = 10 N down

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (ml= 2.5 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 10 N down

Acceleration (a) =?

Fₙ = ma

10 = 2.5 × a

Divide both side by 2.5

a = 10 / 2.5

a = 4 m/s² down

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s² down

Why it is advise to clean the ends of connecting wires before connecting them?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire
out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper. Sadly, they're not. So a coating of
dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can
even block the flow of current across the connection completely. Moreover, in the case
where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.

What characteristics determine how easily two substances change temperature

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer;

Amount of time the two substances are in contact

Area in contact between the two substances

Specific heat of the material that makes up the substances

Explanation;

The change in temperature of a substance is caused by heat energy. The change in temperature will depend on factors such as mass of the substance, the type of material it is made from, the time taken , specific heat of the material that makes the substance, and also the area of contact.

The amount of time the two substances are in contact affect the change in temperature such that if the two bodies are in contact for a longer time then a bigger change in temperature will be observed.

Specific heat capacity also determines the change in temperature that will be observed, such that a substance with a bigger specific heat capacity will record a small change in temperature.
