Answer:

3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law is given as \Sigma F = ma.

To find the acceleration in the horizontal direction, you need the horizontal component of the force being applied.

Using trigonometry to find the horizontal component of the force:

\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{x}{5},\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{{2}}=\frac{x}{5},\\x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}

Use this horizontal component of the force to solve for for the acceleration of the object:

\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}=1.0\cdot a,\\a=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\approx \boxed{3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}

Which argument(s) for the increasing use of solar energy is/are valid? I. Solar cells are becoming cheaper and increasingly more
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The correct one is (III)

Explanation: Limited and uncertain supply and the increasing requirements for pollution control are raising the cost of using fossil fuels.

This is because fossil fuels emit green house gases that are causing global warming. As a result more awareness have been drawn towards the harmful use of fossil fuels, and international bodies are starting to form regulations on the use of fossil fuels. These above reasons has made fossil fuels though abundant, very expensive to use.

This make the usage of greener sources of energy like solar energy desirable. The only challenge solar is facing is on the area of efficiency, but scientists are constantly researching to make it more efficient.

A 3kg ball moving at 8 m/s strikes a 2kg ball at rest,if the collision is elastic,what is the speed of the lighter ball if the h
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Speed of lighter ball is 4 m/s.

Explanation:

Applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum,

momentum before collision = momentum after collision.

m_{1}u_{1} + m_{2} u_{2} = m_{1}v_{1} - m_{2}v_{2}

m_{1} = 3 kg, u_{1} = 8 m/s, m_{2} = 2 kg, u_{2} = 0 m/s ( since it is at rest), v_{1} = 2 m/s, v_{2} = ?

(3 x 8) + (2 x 0) = (8 x 2) - (2 x v_{2})

24 + 0 = 16 - 2v_{2}

2v_{2} = 16 - 24

2v_{2} = -8

v_{2} = \frac{-8}{2}

   = -4 m/s

This implies that the light ball moves at the speed of 4 m/s in the opposite direction of the heavier ball after collision.
