Force = mass * acceleration

10 N - 2 N = 20 kg * acceleration

8 N = 20 kg * acceleration

8 / 20 = acceleration

2/5 m/s^2 = acceleration

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 10 N

Opposing force = 2 N

Mass of object = 20 kg

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of newton's second law

$F = ma$

Where, F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Put the value into the formula

$10N-2N = 20\times a$

$8 N=20\times a$

$a =\dfrac{8}{20}$

$a=0.4\ m/s^2$

Hence, The acceleration is 0.4 m/s²

Answer:

$5.04\cdot 10^8 A$

Explanation:

The work function of the metal corresponds to the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the metal. In this case, it is:

$\phi = 3.950\cdot 10^{-19}J$

So, the energy of the incoming photon hitting on the metal must be at least equal to this value.

The energy of a photon is given by

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon

Using $E=\phi$ and solving for $\lambda$ , we find the maximum wavelength of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.950\cdot 10^{-19} J}=5.04\cdot 10^{-7}m$

And since

1 angstrom = $10^{-15}m$

The wavelength in angstroms is

$\lambda=\frac{5.04\cdot 10^{-7} m}{10^{-15} m/A}=5.04\cdot 10^8 A$

To make a given sound seem twice as loud, how should a musician change the intensity of the sound?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

C. Quadruple the intensity

Explanation:

The intensity of the sound is proportional to square of amplitude of the sound.

I ∝ A²

$\frac{I_1}{A_1^2} = \frac{I_2}{A_2^2}\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1A_2^2}{A_1^2}$

When the given sound is twice loud as the initial value, then the new amplitude is twice the former.

A₂ = 2A₁

$I_2 = \frac{I_1A_2^2}{A_1^2} \\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1(2A_1)^2}{A_1^2} \\\\I_2 = \frac{4I_1A_1^2}{A_1^2}\\\\ I_2 = 4I_1$

Thus, to make a given sound seem twice as loud, the musician should Quadruple the intensity

What is most responsible for the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere?

Phoenix [80]

<span>The answer would be convection currents. Convection happens when atoms with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas transfer and get the room of particles with fewer heat energy. Heat energy is transported from hot places to cooler places by convection.</span>
