Answer:

(A) <u>The same</u>

(B) <u>More</u>

(C) The magnitude of the parent's acceleration is 0.625 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the parent, m₁ = 64 kg

The mass of the child, m₂ = 16 kg

(A) By Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite

Therefore, the action of the parent on the child is equal to the reaction of the child on the parent and vice versa

Therefore, the force experienced by the child is <u>the same</u> as the force experienced by the parent

(B) Newton's second law states that an objects acceleration is directly proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Therefore, the parent and the child both experience the same force but the mass of the child is less than the mass of the parent and therefore, by Newton's second law, the acceleration of the child will be <u>more</u> than the acceleration of the parent for the same given force

(C) The acceleration of the child, a₂ = 2.5 m/s²

Let F₁ represent the force experienced by the parent, let F₂ represent the force experienced by the child and let a₁ represent the magnitude of the parent's acceleration

By Newton's third law, we have;

F₁ = F₂

Force, F = Mass, m × Acceleration, a

We can write, F = m × a

Therefore;

F₁ = m₁ × a₁ and F₂ = m₂ × a₂

∴ F₁ = F₂ gives;

m₁ × a₁ = m₂ × a₂

a₁ = (m₂ × a₂)/m₁ = (16 × 2.5)/64 = 0.625

∴ The magnitude of the parent's acceleration = a₁ = 0.625 m/s²

An increase in the magnitude of velocity is??
bazaltina [42]
It means the speed of the object is increasing
and
there is a positive acceleration in the direction of the velocity
hence
there is a force acting on the object, in the direction of the velocity

A. What did the neuron say to the muscle say? (Use your basic physiological knowledge, such as the function of
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Somatic motor neurons originate in the central nervous system, project their axons to skeletal muscles (such as the muscles of the limbs, abdominal, and intercostal muscles), which are involved in locomotion.

Explanation:

Muscles move on commands from the brain. Single nerve cells in the spinal cord, called motor neurons, are the only way the brain connects to muscles. When a motor neuron inside the spinal cord fires, an impulse goes out from it to the muscles on a long, very thin extension of that single cell called an axon.

Answer it pls!!!!!!!!!!!
Archy [21]

Answer:

Fractional error = 0.17

Percent error = 17%

F = 112 ± 19 N

Explanation:

Plug in the values to find the force:

F = (3.5 kg) (20 m/s)² / (12.5 m) = 112 N

Find the fractional error:

ΔF/F = Δm/m + 2Δv/v + Δr/r

ΔF/F = 0.1/3.5 + 2(1/20) + 0.5/12.5

ΔF/F = 0.17

Multiply by 100% to find the percent error:

ΔF/F × 100% = 17%

Solve for the absolute error:

ΔF = 0.17 × 112 N = 19 N

Therefore, the force is:

F = 112 ± 19 N
