Answer:

<em>Answer: (A) 0.75 m/s^2</em>

Explanation:

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an external unbalanced net force is applied to it.

That acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

It can be expressed with the formula:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F_n}{m}$

Where

Fn = Net force

m = mass

The ice skater pushes against a wall with a force of 59 N. The wall returns the force and the skater now has a net force of Fn=59 N that makes him accelerate. Being m=79 kg the mass of the skater, the acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{59}{79}$

$a = 0.75\ m/s^2$

Answer: (A) 0.75 m/s^2

Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.6 m. The front runner has a velocity of

morpeh [17]

Answer:17.08 s

Explanation:

Given

distance between First and second Runner is 45.6 m

speed of first runner $(v_1)$ =3.1 m/s

speed of second runner $(v_2)$ =4.65 m/s

Distance between first runner and finish line is 250 m

Second runner need to run a distance of 250+45.6=295.6 m

Time required by second runner $t=\frac{295.6}{4.65}=63.56 s$

time required by first runner to reach finish line $=\frac{250}{3.1}=80.64 s$

Thus second runner reach the finish line 80.64-63.56=17.08 s earlier

As the Sun ages, what will happen to life here on Earth? Why?

Burka [1]

Answer:

As the Sun ages it will enter another stage of stellar evolution where it's atmosphere begins to inflate.As the Sun heats up and expands, life on Earth will become increasingly difficult. Long before the Sun becomes a red giant some 4 or 5 billion years from now, our planet will be rendered uninhabitable.

A baby elephant is stuck in a mud hole. to help pull it out, game keepers use a rope to apply a force f with arrowa, as part a o

Julli [10]

The two forces should be equal therefore:

2.10 * Fa = Fa + 2 * F * cos 18

simplifying the right side:

2.10 * Fa = Fa + 1.902 * F

1.10 Fa = 1.902 F

What will happen to the charge and potential difference if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unch

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Potential difference and charge will also increase.

Explanation:

Asking that :

What will happen to the charge and potential difference if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unchanged?

The charge is directly proportional to area of the plate. That is, increase in area of the plate of a capacitor will lead to the increase in the charges between the plates.

And since charge is also proportional to the magnitude of potential difference between the plates from the definition of capacitance of a capacitor which says that:

Q = CV

Therefore, increase in the area of the plate will also lead to increase in potential difference between the plates.

Therefore, if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unchanged, the charge and potential difference between them will also increase.
