Hi there!

According to Newton's second law:

∑F = m · a, where:

∑F = net force (N = kgm/s²)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

Rearrange to solve for acceleration:

F/m = a

20N / 4.0kg = 5 m/s²

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant) of 39.5 n/m so that it wil

mrs_skeptik [129]

The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
$f= \frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }$
where
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.

Re-arranging the formula, we get:
$m= \frac{k}{4 \pi^2 f^2}$
and since we know the constant of the spring:
$k=39.5 N/m$
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
$m= \frac{39.5 Hz}{4 \pi^2 (1.00 Hz)^2} = 1.00 kg$

The spherical annulus of cometary nuclei surrounding the solar system is called the ___.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Oort Cloud

Explanation:

Hundreds of millions of comet nuclei forming a spherical region that surrounds the solar system is called Oort cloud.

The Oort cloud revolves at tens of thousands of the distance of the earth from the sun.

Comets are the condensed water and dust particles that orbit around the sun with inward helix leaving behind a tail of vapours and vaporize completely as they get closer to the sun during their revolution around it.

They have a nebulous appearance and extremely elongated orbits.

Suzie skydiver, who weighs 500 n, reaches terminal velocity of 90 km/h. the air resistance on suzie is then

masha68 [24]

<span>Weight of the skydiver m = 500 N
Terminal velocity V = 90 km/h
Here the weight of the person acts as the force, so based on the Newton's third law the applied is the force what we but in the opposite direction making the resistance. So the air resistance exerted on Suzie will be her weight that is 500N</span>
