Two forces, one four times as large as the other, pull in the same direction on a 10kg mass and impart to it an acceleration of

2.5 m/s2. If the smaller force is removed, what is the acceleration of the mass?

Answer:

The acceleration of the mass is 2 meters per square second.

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, we know that force (F), measured in newtons, is the product of mass (m), measured in kilograms, and net acceleration (a), measured in meters per square second. That is:

F = m\cdot a (1)

The initial force applied in the mass is:

F = (10\,kg)\cdot \left(2.5\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

F = 25\,N

In addition, we know that force is directly proportional to acceleration. If the smaller force is removed, then the initial force is reduced to \frac{4}{5} of the initial force. The acceleration of the mass is:

\frac{25\,N}{20\,N} = \frac{2.5\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }{a}

a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration of the mass is 2 meters per square second.

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of  external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
netineya [11]
Here we have mass that moves at ceratin speed. This means that we have momentum. The law that must be observed is law of conservation of momentum. It states that momentum before certain event is equal to a momentum after that event. Here we have three masses so we can write this as:
m_{1}  v_{1i} + m_{2}  v_{2i} + m_{3}  v_{3i} = m_{1}  v_{1f} + m_{2}  v_{2f} + m_{3}  v_{3f}
Before the firecracker blows a coconut does not move, so left side is equal to 0:
0 = m_{1} v_{1f} + m_{2} v_{2f} + m_{3} v_{3f}

We know that m1=m2=m and m3=2m. Also we are asked to find v3f so we can rewrite formula:
v_{3f} = -  \frac{m_{1}  v_{1f}  + m_{2} v_{2f} }{ m_{3} }

We must take in consideration that two parts with same mass do not move in same direction. The center of mass of these two parts moves between them at angle of 45° with respect to both south and west. The speed of a center of mass is:
v_{f} = \sqrt{ v_{1f}^{2}+ v_{2f}^{2} } \\ \\ v_{f} = 33.9m/s
This speed we can insert into formula for v3f:
v_{3f} = - \frac{m*33.9+m*33.9 }{ 2m } \\  \\ v_{3f} = - \frac{2m*33.9 }{ 2m }  \\  \\ v_{3f} = - 33.9m/s

We can see that part of a coconut with biggest mass has same speed as center of mass of two other parts. Negative sign shows that direction is opposite to direction of two pats. Biggest part moves towards north-east.

Sveta_85 [38]
The Pacific plate collides with and is subducted under four other crustal plates. The area where this happens has lots of volcanic activity. This area is called the Ring of Fire. This is a place under the Pacific Ocean and it has numerous volcanic eruptions and earthquakes and so this region is called the Ring of Fire. In this place there are about 450 active and dormant volcanoes and it is almost 75 percent of the volcanoes present in our earth.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Neptune is approximately 41 times as far from the sun as Venus

Explanation:

Estimate = distance of Neptune from the sun ÷ distance of Venus from the sun = 4.5×10^9 ÷ 1.18×10^8 = 40.9 (approximately 41)
