Answer: Gases have three characteristic properties: (1) they are easy to compress, (2) they expand to fill their containers, and (3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.
Explanation:
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
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:

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:


Answer: (A) 0.75 m/s^2
Answer:
Explanation:
mass of the ball = 146 g = 146 / 1000 = 0.146 kg
initial speed of the ball = 40.6 m/s
final speed of the ball = - 45.1 m/s
time of impact = 1.05 ms = 1.05 / 1000 = 0.00105 s
impulse, Ft = change in momentum = mv - mu = m (v-u)
F = m (v - u) / t = 0.146 kg ( -45.1 -40.6) / 0.00105 s = -11916.4 N
