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 no friction acts on a diver during a dive, then which of the following statements is true? A) The total mechanical energy of
EleoNora [17]
If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.

Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).

The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE  = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.
 
Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂

Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
     FALSE

B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
     TRUE

C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
     TRUE

D) All of the above.
     FALSE

Which statement describes an AC generator?
gregori [183]
AC (Alternating Current) generator is a device that produces an electromotive force.This generator produces alternating current. Alternating current  is electric current that changes its direction many times a second, at regular intervals. This is the type of current with which customers are supplied in the energy distribution network.
