It will accelerate. A force of magnitude <em>F</em> exerted on an object of mass <em>m</em> applies an acceleration <em>a</em> according to
<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>
Remember that force and accleration are vector quantities, so the object's acceleration would point in the same direction as the applied force. The other choices describe some possible outcomes, but
• it the object starts in motion, it can only stop moving if the force opposes the motion and acts in the opposite direction. The object would eventually stop, but only for an instant before changing direction and starting to move again. Consider a ball being thrown directly upward, reaching its highest point, then falling again.
• its speed (which is a scalar quantity) would only decrease if the object starts in motion and is slowed down. But if it starts at rest, its speed can only increase. Consider a ball being dropped from some height and gaining speed as it falls.
• its velocity will certainly change, but can only increase if the object is at rest, or if it's already in motion and the force points in the same direction.
Different speeds of light through two separate media ... and the difference in wavelength caused by the difference ... causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.
AFTER the bend, since the light rays then travel in a different direction, we may also say that the 'velocity' has changed.
Answer:
52 mL
Explanation:
Since the pressure of the gas remains constant, we can use the following gas law:
where:
is the initial volume
is the final volume
is the initial temperature
is the final temperature
Substituting numbers and re-arranging the equation, we find the final volume of the gas:
So the correct answer is
1. 52 mL
Answer:
N₂ = 503.8 N
Explanation:
given,
mass of bottom block = 37 Kg
mass of middle block = 18 Kg
mass of the top block = 16 Kg
force acting on the top block = 170 N
force on the block at top
N₁ be the normal force from block at middle
now,
N₁ = 170 + m g
N₁ = 170 + 16 x 9.8
now, force on block at middle
N₂ be the normal force exerted by the bottom block
N₂ = N₁ + m₂ g
N₂ = 326.8 + 18 x 9.8
N₂ = 503.8 N
hence, normal force by bottom block is equal to N₂ = 503.8 N
