Answer:

Object D

Explanation:

Use Newton's Second Law to determine the acceleration that each object has.

F = ma

The force applied in both cases is 50 N, but the mass for object C and object D is different.

Let's start with object C first:

F = ma
50 N = 10 kg · a
50 = 10a
5 = a

The acceleration object C undergoes is 5 m/s².

Now let's calculate object D next:

F = ma
50 N = 2 kg * a
50 = 2a
25 = a

The acceleration object D undergoes is 25 m/s².

Object D has greater acceleration because it has a smaller mass. The object with a smaller mass will accelerate more in order to satisfy Newton's 2nd Law.

I was having trouble with this problem, and problems like it: A 3.2 kg pelican, with a 1.73 kg fish in its mouth, is flying 1.52

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

28.1 m/s

Explanation:

$u_x$ = Initial velocity of the fish = 1.52 m/s

y = Height of the bird = 40 m

$a_y$ = Acceleration in y axis = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

$u_y$ = Initial velocity in y axis = 0

$y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 40=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{40\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.86\ \text{s}$

$v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\Rightarrow v_y=0+9.81\times 2.86\\\Rightarrow v_y=28.057\ \text{m/s}$

The final velocity in x direction will remain the same as the initial velocity as there is no acceleration in the x direction $u_x=v_x=1.52\ \text{m/s}$

Resultant velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{1.52^2+28.057^2}\\\Rightarrow v=28.1\ \text{m/s}$

The fish is moving at a velocity of 28.1 m/s when it hits the water.

Please help me ..im begging you

Deffense [45]

Explanation:

let's assume that:

v1= 600ml=0,6l

T1=27°C= 300K

p1=700mmHG=93326Pa

T2=-20°C=253K

p2=500mmHg=66661

V2=?

p1V1/T1=p2V2/T2 => V2=p1V1T2/p2

V2= 93326*0,6*253/66661

V2=212,52l

Una mujer de 65 kg, se balancea sobre uno de los tacones de sus zapatos. Si el tacón es circular con un radio de 0,5 cm, ¿qué pr

goldenfox [79]

Explicacion

m = 65 kg

g = 10 m/s²

r = 0.5 cm (1m / 100 cm) = 0.05 m

A = π r² = π (0.05 m)² = 0.00785 m²

F =W = m g = 65 kg(10 m/s²) = 650 N

P = F/A = 650 N / 0.00785 m² = 82802.54 N/m²
