According to newton's second law, if you have an object that is put under acceleration due to a force, how could you reduce the

acceleration

expeople1 [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

We could reduce the force or increase the mass of the object.

Explanation:

Using the definition of force, according to Newton's second law,  (F = ma) the acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass. Therefore, if we want to reduce the acceleration of an object we have two options:

  1. We could reduce the force
  2. We could increase the mass

In both cases a will decrease.  

I hope it helps you!

If a Ferrari, with an initial velocity of 10m/s, accelerates at at rate of 50m/s/s for 3 seconds, what will its final velocity b
seraphim [82]

Answer:

160 m/s

Explanation:

The Ferrari is moving by uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration of a = 50 m/s^2, and initial velocity u = 10 m/s. The velocity at time t of the car is given by

v(t)= u +at

where

u = 10 m/s

a = 50 m/s^2

If we substitute t = 3 s into the equation, we can find the velocity of the car after 3 seconds:

v(3 s)=10 m/s + (50 m/s^2)(3 s)=160 m/s

El tren Lima la Orolla va a una velocidad de 10 km/h y de pronto aplica el freno por un derrumbe en la via. Si demora 18 segundo
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Distancia = 50.04 metros

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad = 10 km/h

Tiempo = 18 segundos

Para encontrar la distancia;

Conversión:

10 km/h = 10 * 1000/3600 = 2.78 m/s

Distancia = velocidad * tiempo

Distancia = 2.78 * 18

Distancia = 50.04 metros

Por lo tanto, el tren viajaría 50.04 metros antes de detenerse por completo.

If the light rays in the incident ray originate at 20º from the surface...
Ainat [17]

Given :

The light rays in the incident ray originate at 20º from the surface.

To Find :

The angle for the incident ray.

Solution :

We know angle of incidence is measured from perpendicular to the surface .

So,

\theta_i = 90^o - 20^o\\\\\theta_i = 70^o

Now, we know by law of reflection :

Angle of reflection = Angle of incident

\theta_r = 70^o

Therefore, the angle of incident and reflection is 70° each.
