Which statement is true about the theory of plate tectonics and the theory of continental drift?:

A 2 kg object with a weight of 20 N is being pulled up by a rope with a tension of 12N what is the acceleration of the object

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 2 kg

weigh of the object, W = 20 N

tension on the rope, T = 12 N

The acceleration of the object is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

T = F + W

T = ma + W

ma = T - W

$a = \frac{T-W}{m} \\\\a = \frac{12 - 20}{2} \\\\a = -4 \ m/s^2$ (the negative sign indicates deceleration of the object)

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it

TiliK225 [7]

Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.

Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.

TRUE or FALSE: During a collision between objects of different mass, there is a greater force applied to the less massive object

ddd [48]

If they are moving at the same speed then it would be true because the larger object would have more mass and would have more momentum then the smaller object that has less mass! Hope this helps!

A battery derives electric energy from _____energy?

sammy [17]

A). nuclear
No. There were batteries long long before we learned
how to use nuclear energy. Also, there is no danger of
exposure to radioactivity when you're working with a battery.

b). mechanical
No. A battery has no moving parts.

c). gravitational
No. No matter how high you take a battery in an airplane, or
how far you lower it into a mine-shaft, its characteristics don't
change. In fact, batteries even work on things that are in orbit.

d). chemical
Bingo.

You have a two-wheel trailer that you pull behind your ATV. Two children with a combined mass of 76.2 kg hop on board for a ride

marin [14]

a) The spring constant is 12,103 N/m

b) The mass of the trailer 2,678 kg

c) The frequency of oscillation is 0.478 Hz

d) The time taken for 10 oscillations is 20.9 s

Explanation:

a)

When the two children jumps on board of the trailer, the two springs compresses by a certain amount

$\Delta x = 6.17 cm = 0.0617 m$

Since the system is then in equilibrium, the restoring force of the two-spring system must be equal to the weight of the children, so we can write:

$2mg = k'\Delta x$ (1)

where

m = 76.2 kg is the mass of each children

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$k'$ is the equivalent spring constant of the 2-spring system

For two springs in parallel each with constant k,

$k'=k+k=2k$

Substituting into (1) and solving for k, we find:

$2mg=2k\Delta x\\k=\frac{mg}{\Delta x}=\frac{(76.2)(9.8)}{0.0617}=12,103 N/m$

b)

The period of the oscillating system is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k'}}$

where

And for the system in the problem, we know that

T = 2.09 s is the period of oscillation

m is the mass of the trailer

$k'=2k=2(12,103)=24,206 N/m$ is the equivalent spring constant of the system

Solving the equation for m, we find the mass of the trailer:

$m=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2 k'=(\frac{2.09}{2\pi})^2 (24,206)=2,678 kg$

c)

The frequency of oscillation of a spring-mass system is equal to the reciprocal of the period, therefore:

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

In this problem, we have

T = 2.09 s is the period

Therefore, the frequency of oscillation is

$f=\frac{1}{2.09}=0.478 Hz$

d)

The period of the system is

T = 2.09 s

And this time is the time it takes for the trailer to complete one oscillation.

In this case, we want to find the time it takes for the trailer to complete 10 oscillations (bouncing up and down 10 times). Therefore, the time taken will be the period of oscillation multiplied by 10.

Therefore, the time needed for 10 oscillations is:

$t=10T=10(2.09)=20.9 s$
