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.

This is Yolanda's desk. What could Yolanda do to increase the amount of force needed to change the motion of the desk?
Stella [2.4K]

Yolanda might put more items to the desk to make it heavier, requiring more force.

We need to learn more about the force acting on an object in order to locate the solution.

<h3>How can the force that is required to modify the motion be increased?</h3>
  • We are aware that the word for force is,

                            F=ma

where m denotes the object's mass and an its acceleration

  • There are two ways to increase the force required to alter the motion of the table.
  • One is to increase the mass, and the other is to accelerate it more quickly.
  • Otherwise, there will be a lot of friction between the surfaces, making it difficult to move without exerting a lot of force.

We can infer from this that Yolanda could add items to the desk to increase its mass, necessitating the use of additional force.

The moon is halfway through the waxing crescent phase. In approximately how many days will it be in the last-quarter phase?
Jlenok [28]

Let's say the Moon's complete cycle of phases is about 28 days (4 weeks) ... just so the arithmetic is easier. (Close enough. It's actually 29.53 days.)

If it's halfway through the waxing crescent, then it'll reach first quarter in 3 days or so.

From there, it'll take the next 7 days to become Full, and another 7 days to reach last quarter.

Total from half-waxing-crescent to last quarter . . . about 17 days.

Blue bumper car, traveling east with a force of 100 N, runs into a yellow bumper car traveling west with a force of 300 N. Becau
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

the blue bumper car

Explanation:

because the yellow bumper car is coming in with much more force

and according to Newton, actions and reactions are equal and opposite, so the yellow bumper car will five out 300N while the blue car will give out only 100N

then it almost because a fight between 300N vs 100N

and obviously, the 300N will win and the 100N will be pushed back
