A net force of 40 N south acts on an object with a mass of 20 kg. What is the

Physics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. 2m/s² south

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Net force  = 40N

Mass  = 20kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the object = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use;

            F = ma

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

          a  = \frac{f}{m}  

          a = \frac{40}{20}   = 2m/s²

The acceleration of the object is 2m/s² south

Can a compound be separated by physical means?
Julli [10]

No,  it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge 41.7 m above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down 1.80 s after the f
hram777 [196]

Answer:

31.75 m/s

Explanation:

h = 41.7 m

Let the initial velocity of the second stone is u

Let the time taken to reach to the bottom by the first stone is t then the time taken by the second stone to reach the ground is t - 1.8.

For first stone:

Use second equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here, u = 0, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and t be the time and h = 41.7

So, 41.7= 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

41.7 = 4.9 t^2

t = 2.92 s ..... (1)

For second stone:

Use second equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and time taken is t - 1.8 = 2.92 - 1.8 = 1.12 s, h = 41.7 m and u be the initial velocity

h=u\left ( t-1.8 \right )+4.9\left ( t-1.8 \right )^2    .... (2)

By equation the equation (1) and (2), we get

41.7=1.12 u +4.9 \times 1.12^{2}

u = 31.75 m/s
