Answer:

D) Heavier objects need a greater force to accelerate according to F=ma.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object is equal to:

F = mg

where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity. According to the formula, heavier objects (objects with greater mass, m) have a larger force of gravity acting on them.

However, the acceleration of an object towards the ground is given by:

a=\frac{F}{m}

therefore, we see that if the object is heavier (larger mass, m), the force of gravity (F) must also be larger in order to have the same acceleration a.

Cindy saw her mother heating a wet pan on the stove. As the pan got hotter, the water on the outside began to dry. Why?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

As the temperature of materials increase, the objects find a phenomenon called change of phase.

This means that if you give enough heat to a liquid, this can change of state from liquid state to gas state (the water evaporates)

So the water in the pan reaches the evaporation temperature (around 100°C) and it starts to evaporate, this is why the water on the outside begins to "dry"

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti
liq [111]

Answer:

The speed of water must be expelled at 6.06 m/s

Explanation:

Neglecting any drag effects of the surrounding water we can assume the linear momentum in this case is conserves, that is, the total initial momentum of the octopus and the water kept in it cavity should be equal to the total final linear momentum. That's known as conservation of momentum, mathematically expressed as:

p_f=p_i

with Pi the total initial momentum and Pf the final total momentum. The total momentum is the sum of the momentums of the individual objects, in our case the octopus and the mass of water that will be expelled:

p_{of}+p_{wf}=p_{oi}+p_{wi}

with Po the momentum of the octopus and Pw the momentum of expelled water. Linear momentum is defined as mass times velocity:

m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=m_o*v_{oi}+m_w*v_{wi}

Note that initially the octopus has the water in its cavity and both are at rest before it sees the predator so v_{oi}=v_{wi} = 0\frac{m}{s}:

m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=0

We should find the final velocity of water if the final velocity of the octopus is 2.70 m/s, solving for v_{wf}:

v_{wf}=-\frac{m_o*v_{of}}{m_w}=-\frac{(6.00-1.85)*(2.70)}{1.85}

v_{wf}=-6.06\frac{m}{s}

The minus sign indicates the velocity of the water is opposite the velocity of the octopus.

A total of 750 j of work was done when a force of 125 n was exerted on a box to move it. how far was the box moved?
Slav-nsk [51]
Work = Force times Distance
W = Fd

Given W = 750J, F = 125N;

750 = 125d

Solving for d:
d = 750/125
d = 6

The box moved a distance of 6 meters.

A 2 feet piece of wire is cut into two pieces and once a piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral t
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x ft be used to make square and 2-x ft be used to make equilateral triangle.

each side of square = x/4

area of square = ( x /4 )²

Each side of triangle

= (2-x) /3

Area of triangle = 1/2 (2-x)²/9 sin 60

= √3 / 36 x (2-x)²

Total area

A = ( x /4 )² +√3 / 36 (2-x)²

For maximum area

dA/dx = 0

1/16( 2x ) -√3 / 36 x2(2-x) = 0

x / 8 - √3(2-x)/ 18 = 0

x / 8 - √3/9 + √3/18 x = 0

x ( 1/8 + √3/18 ) = √3/9

x(.125 +.096 ) = .192

x = .868 ft

An excited hydrogen atom releases an electromagnetic wave to return to its normal state. You use your futuristic dual electric/m
masya89 [10]

Answer: the magnetic wave will travel out of the screen.

Explanation:

Electric field direction is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. Both are also perpendicular to the direction of the particles.

Using right hand rule to solve this problem,

This pointed finger depicts the electric field direction which the curly fingers depict the direction of the magnetic field. The pointed thumb will depict the direction in which the wave travel. Which is out of the screen.
