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

Rarefraction.

Crest- tallest spot on transverse wave.

Trough- shortest point on transverse wave.

Compression - spot on a compressional wave where the waves are closer together.

Rarefraction - spot on a compressional wave where the waves are farther apart.

"My distance to the center of the earth is about 4000 miles when I am on the surface. If I go to a height of 8000 miles above th

lord [1]

Given,

Distance from the surface to the center of the earth, d=4000 miles

Distance from the center to you at a height of 8000 miles, a= 8000+4000=12000 miles

The gravitational force acting on a person at the surface is equal to his weight.

From Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force is

$F=\frac{G\times M\times m}{r^2}$

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the object/person, r is the distance between the center of the earth and the object/person

At the surface, this force is equal to the weight of the person, W=mg

i.e.

$F_s=\frac{G\times M\times m}{d^2}=W$

On substituting the of d,

$W=\frac{\text{GMm}}{4000^2}$

At a height of 8000 miles from the surface, the gravitational force is equal to,

$F_a=\frac{GMm}{12000^2}$

On dividing the above two equations,

$\frac{F_a}{W}=\frac{4000^2^{}}{12000^2}=\frac{1}{9}$

Therefore,

$F_a=\frac{1}{9}W$

Therefore at a height of 8000 miles above the surface of the earth, the force of gravity becomes 1/9 time your weight.

Wind tends to move from pressure areas. low, high high, high low, low high, low

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

high, low

Explanation:

Energy always flows from a higher level to a lower level.
It is analogous to the waterfall where waterfalls from a higher level to a lower level.
So in the case of the pressure of the gas, when there are any numbers of molecules in a given volume of space. The gas is said to be at high pressure.
When there are fewer molecules in the given volume. The gas is said to be at lower pressure.
Due to a large number of atoms, the high-pressure gas exerts more force on the container than the force exerted by the low-pressure gas.
If a hose is connected between these two containers, gas rushes from high pressure to the low pressure. Since the force exerted by the high-pressure gas is greater than that of low-pressure gas.

So, the wind tends to move from high-pressure areas to low pressure.

According to the kinetic theory, collisions between molecules in a gas _____.a.are inelasticb.never occurc. cause a loss of tota

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

d. perfectly elastic

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory for collisions of gas molecules:

1.The loss of energy is negligible or we can say that it is zero.

2.Molecules of the gas move in a random manner.

3.The collision between molecules and with the wall of the container is perfectly elastic.That is why loss in the energy is zero.

Therefore the correct answer will be d.

d. perfectly elastic
