A 1400 kg car is moving at 33.8 m/s when a force is applied the opposite direction of the car's motion. The car slows down to 21

.4 m/s . the force is applied for what is the magnitude of the force?

3 0

Solve for acceleration:

<em>a</em> = (21.4 m/s - 33.8 m/s) / (4.7 s)

<em>a</em> ≈ -2.6 m/s²

Solve for force:

<em>F</em> = (1400 kg) <em>a</em> ≈ -3700 N

The minus sign tells you the force points in the opposite direction of the car's motion. Its magnitude is always positive, so <em>F</em> = 3700 N.

Once a disk forms around a star, the process of planetary formation can begin. Rank the evolutionary stages for the formation of
PolarNik [594]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The evolutionary stages for the formation of planets from earliest to latest will be:

1. Dust keeps matter inside the disk cool enough for planet formation to start

2. Dust grains form condensation nuclei on which surrounding atoms condense to form small clumps of matter.

3. Small clumps of matter stick together via the process of accretion to form planetesimals a few hundred kilometers in diameter.

4. Planetesimals begin to accrete, forming protoplanets.

5. A collection of a few planet-sized protoplanets remain in a fairly cleared out disk around the star

How does flowing water change the earths surface
Art [367]
Deposition occurs when gravity's downward pull on sediment is greater than the push of flowing water<span> or wind. Rivers and streams erode soil, rock, and sediment. Sediment is tiny grains of broken-down rock.</span>

What is the wavelenght of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 11 km/s and a frequency of 15 Hz
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The wavelength is about 733 meters.

Explanation:

Use the wavelength-frequency relationship:

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}= \frac{11000 \frac{m}{s}}{15 s^{-1}}\approx733m

The wavelength is about 733 meters.

A rock with a mass of 8 kg falls straight down from a height of 7 m. What work is done?
fenix001 [56]
F=MA
F=(8 kg)(9.8 m/s)
F= 78.4 N
W=FD
W=(78.4 N)(7 m)
W=548.8 J
