MakcuM [25]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1.06 metres per second squared

Explanation:

since friction acts against foward force

20 N - 4 N = 16 N

use Newtons 2nd law F=ma Solve for a:

a= F÷m

= 16 ÷ 15

= 1.06 metres per second squared

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more
galina1969 [7]
The complete statement is 

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another. 

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.

A car with a mass of 1.1 × 103 kilograms hits a stationary truck with a mass of 2.3 × 103 kilograms from the rear end. The initi
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s            

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m_1=1.1\times 10^3\ kg

Mass of the truck, m_2=2.3\times 10^3\ kg

Initial velocity of the car, u_1=22\ m/s

Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0

After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s

Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

1.1\times 10^3\times 22+0=1.1\times 10^3\times (11)+2.3\times 10^3\times v_2    

v_2=15.7\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).

A person travels 1.5 km in 6 minutes, how fast were they traveling in meters per second?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

4.167m/sec

Explanation:

1km=1000m

1.5km=1500m

1min=60sec

6min=360sec

In 360sec they travel 1500m

In 1 sec they travel=1500m/360

1sec=4.167m

What is the lowest mass that an object can have and still be a star?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The lowest mass that an object can have to be considered a star is 0.08 solar masses.    

Explanation:

A star is get when it reaches the necessary temperature in its core to nuclear reaction began.

A Nuclear reaction is the fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements.

In stars there is an equilibrium between two forces, the force of gravity in the inward direction due to its own mass and the radiation pressure in the upward direction as a consequence of the nuclear reaction in its core, which is known as hydrostatic equilibrium.

Therefore, the mass of the star must be enough to the force of gravity act in the inward direction, which leads to the increase in pressure, density and of course temperature in the core, allowing the nuclear reaction to begin.

Hence, the lowest mass that an object can have to be consider a star is 0.08 solar masses.
