Answer:
1. True
2. False
3. True
Explanation:
Newton's 2nd law states that the net force exerted on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
(1)
where
is the net force on the object
m is its mass
a is the acceleration
Furthermore, we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity:
So let's now analyize the three statements:
1. A net force causes velocity to change: TRUE. Net force (means non-zero) causes a non-zero acceleration, which means that the velocity of the object must change.
2. If an object has a velocity, then we can conclude that there is a net force on the object: FALSE. The fact that the object has a velocity does not imply anything about its acceleration: in fact, if its velocity is constant, then its acceleration is zero, which would mean that the net force on the object is zero. So this statement is not necessarly true.
3. Accelerations are caused by the presence of a net force: TRUE. This is directly implied by eq.(1): the presence of the net force results in the object having a non-zero acceleration.
Answer:
I believe it is False.
Explanation:
Hope my answer has helped you!
Force equals mass*distance
F = ma
Given m = 10 kg, F = 30 N
30 = 10a
30/10 = a
3 = a
The wagon's acceleration is 3 m/s^2
Answer:
Answer for the question is given in the attachment.
Explanation:
Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm
Explanation:
Given that;
diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m
height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m
wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m
Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;
sin∅= 1.22 λ / d
sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7
sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷
we know that;
sin∅ = object separation / distance from telescope
object separation =
sin∅ × distance from telescope
object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷ × 180 × 10³
object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m
then we convert to centimeter
object separation = 6.45 cm
Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm
