Answer:

<h2>3 m/s^2</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

Mass m= 4kg

Force F= 12N

Required

Acceleration the relation between force, acceleration, and mass is Newton's first equation of motion, which says a body will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force

F=ma

a=F/m

a=12/4

a=3 m/s^2

raketka [301]

Answer:

We know the information about atomic size, energy, electronic configuration etc. of atom from the periodic table.    

Explanation:

  • Periodic table is the arrangement of elements that are arranged according to their properties and electronic configuration.
  • In periodic table, on furthest right side of the periodic table, noble gases like He, Ne, Ar etc are arranged.
  • The atomic number of element increases while moving from left towards right in the periodic table.
  • The metallic character of element decreases as we proceed the table towards right.
  • They readily accept electron to fill the valence shell hence becoming more metallic in character.

The distance between two consecutive nodesof a standing wave is 20.9cm.Thehandgen-erating the pulses moves up and down throughac
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m

The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.

For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.

\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=0.209\ m\\\\\lambda=0.418\ m

Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.

f=\dfrac{2.57}{4.47}\\\\f=0.574\ Hz

Now we can find the velocity of the wave.

Velocity = frequency × wavelength

v = 0.574 × 0.418

v = 0.239 m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.

B)A man walks 95 km, East, then 55 km, north. Calculate his RESULTANT
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The resultant displacement of the man is 109.77 km in the direction N60°E.

<h3>Displacement</h3>

Displacement is the distance travelled in a specified direction.

To calculate displacement, the straight line from starting point to end point of travel is taken and calculated.

<h3>Resultant displacement of the man </h3>

In the example above, a man walks 95 km, East, then 55 km, north.

The two distances form a right-angled triangle with two sides 95 and 55 units. The hypotenuse gives the resultant displacement, D.

Using Pythagoras rule:

D^2 = 95^2 + 55^2

D^2 = 12050

D = 109.77

Thus, the resultant displacement is 109.77 km

To calculate the direction:

Let the direction be y

y + x = 90°

tan x = 55/95

tanx x = 0.578

x = 30°

Then, y = 90 - 30

y = 60°

Therefore, the resultant displacement of the man is 109.77 km in the direction N60°E.

What is the main reason water from the ocean turns to water vapor , and then evaporates into the air
melamori03 [73]

Hello! :)

C) heat from the sun

Why?

Because the sun’s heat makes the water turn to steam—or what we call “water vapor.”

Hope this helped and I hope I answered in time!

Good luck!
