Answer:

By nature, laws of Physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”

Help it’s multiple choice 11 through 15 please!
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. • Here, force of gravity on the block = 20 N.

• Therefore, the normal force will also be the same, i.e., 20 N [According to Newton's Third Law, on every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction]

• The coefficient

u_{k} = 0.4

• Force of friction =

u_{k} \times  \: normal \:  \:  \: force \\  = 0.4 \times 20N \\  = 8N

• Hence, the force of sliding friction between the block and the ground is 8 N.

• So, it is option c. 8 N

2. The answer is option d. continue in the same direction with no change in speed.

We know, force = mass × acceleration. When force is 0, then acceleration will also be 0 since mass cannot be 0. So, there will be no change in speed.

3. It is option b. force that is required to give a one kilogram object the acceleration of 1 m/s^2.

Newton is the SI unit of force. As mentioned earlier, force = mass × acceleration. The SI unit of mass and acceleration is Kg and m/s^2 respectively.

So, 1 N = 1 Kg × 1 m/s^2.

4. It is d. not zero.

Acceleration is the change in speed. So, if the force is zero, then acceleration will not occur.

5. Force = 2 N

Acceleration of the object A = 2 m/s^2.

Acceleration of the object B = 1 m/s^2.

Therefore, mass of the object A = 2 N ÷ 2 m/s^2 = 1 Kg

And, mass of the object B = 2 N ÷ 1 m/s^2 = 2 Kg

So, the mass of object B is greater than that of object A.

Hence, the answer is option c. Object B has more mass.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the ___ (northern or southern) Hemisphere as they move into a low press
lana [24]

Answer:

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the center of northern and southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

The wind blows clockwise around a high pressure area  in the northern hemisphere and the wind blows counter - clockwise around low pressure.  

In the northern hemisphere High-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction and in the southern hemisphere  low-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction.

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t = t2i 6tj 4 ln t k
artcher [175]
1st derivative gives velocity;
d r(t)/ dt = 2t i + 6 j + 4/t k

2nd derivative gives acceleration;
d^2 r(t)/ dt^2 = 2 i - 4/ t^2

Speed ;
Square root of (4 t^2 + 36 + 16/ t^2)

For a given time, like 2 seconds, t will be 2. And answer of speed will be scalar.
