"F = dP/dt. The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."

These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way. So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is

"F = m·A. The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."

The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.

Answer:

Newton's Second law of motion: "Force = mass × acceleration."

Explanation:

An example of the second law of motion is when you are riding a bike. Your bike is the mass and our leg muscles pushing on the pedals of your bike are the force.

The temperature of the air in a valley begins to increase after the sun comes up and heats the valley floor. What will

tester [92]

Explanation:

I think it will increase a little bit ... just image ... if the temperature is 0, the velocity will be 0 too. because the vibration of atom is so weak and the sound cant progation.

Can anyone help me with 11 and 12 please

dexar [7]

The 1st one is basically B because it will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force and the 2cd one is A because most of is transformed into thermos energy. hope this helps!

Two 2 kg masses is placed at either end of a rod that has a mass of .5 kg and a length of 3 m. What is the moment of inertia if

sergij07 [2.7K]

Explanation:

a) $I=\displaystyle \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2$

where $r_i$ is the distance of the mass $m_i$ from the axis of rotation. When the axis of rotation is placed at the end of the rod, the moment of inertia is due only to one mass. Therefore,

$I= mr^2 = (2\:kg)(3\:m)^2 = 18\:kg-m^2$

b) When the axis of rotation is placed on the center of the rod, the moment is due to both masses and the radius r is 1.5 m. Therefore,

$\displaystyle I= \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2 = 2(2\:kg)(1.5\:m)^2 = 9\:kg-m^2$
