Answer:

Acceleration, a = 0.5m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, f = 20N

Mass = 40kg

To find the acceleration;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

$F = ma$

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

Making acceleration (a) the subject, we have;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac{F}{m}$

Substituting into the equation;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac{20}{40}$

Acceleration, a = 0.5m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the bookcase is 0.5m/s²

When water in clouds undergoes condensation, it can lead to?

olga_2 [115]

It will lead to rain. I know this because as the clouds move over water sources like oceans, lakes, and rivers, the water evaporates and rises. The water then liquefies into little water droplets. As the cloud moves over more water the droplets get scrunched up and get bigger over time and soon they get heavy and gravity pulls the droplets down to earth as rain. The End.

Do the rock layers from the various locations that you investigated record evidence of an asteroid impact on Earth? Make a CLAIM

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Drilling into the seafloor off Mexico, scientists have extracted a unique geologic record of the single worst day in the history of life on Earth, when a city-sized asteroid smashed into the planet 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and three-quarters of all other life.

Their analysis of these new rock samples from the Chicxulub crater, made public Monday, reveals a parfait of debris deposited in layers almost minute-by-minute at the heart of the impact during the first day of a global catastrophe. It records traces of the explosive melting, massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and wildfires as the immense asteroid blasted a hole 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep, the scientists said.

Where are streams located?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Hello there!

Explanation:

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill.

hope this helps!

Which of the following will cause an increase in gas pressure in a closed container? A. Lowering the temperature B. Reducing the

choli [55]

D. both B and C will cause gas pressure to decrease because adding more gas is like adding more energy and reducing the space (volume) the atoms will move more quickly but won't have space, therefore pressure will increase.
