An object accelerates 2 m/s2 when an unknown force of 20 N is applied to it. What was the mass of the object?

Physics

Answer:

<h2>10 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of an object given only the force acting on it and it's acceleration can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force in N

a is the acceleration in m/s²

We have

m =  \frac{20}{2}  = 10 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

How are the surface of Mercury and Mars similar to the surface of the Earth?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The terrestrial planets all have rocky surfaces that feature mountains, plains, valleys and other formations. ... Mars has very low atmospheric pressure, and Mercury has almost none, so craters are more common on these planets.

A common flashlight bulb is rated at 0.32 A and 4.3 V (the values of the current and voltage under operating conditions). If the
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

1176.01 °C

Explanation:

Using Ohm's law,

V = IR................. Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = Resistance when the bulb is on

make R the subject of the equation

R = V/I.................. Equation 2

R = 4.3/0.32

R = 13.4375 Ω

Using

R = R'(1+αΔθ)............................. Equation 3

Where R' = Resistance of the bulb at 20°, α = Temperature coefficient of resistivity, Δθ = change in temperature

make Δθ the subject of the equation

Δθ = (R-R')/αR'.................. Equation 4

Given: R = 13.4375 Ω, R' = 1.6 Ω, α = 6.4×10⁻³ K⁻¹

Substitute into equation 4

Δθ = (13.4375-1.6)/(1.6×0.0064)

Δθ = 11.8375/0.01024

Δθ = 1156.01 °C

But,

Δθ = T₂-T₁

T₂ = T₁+Δθ

Where T₂ and T₁ = Final and initial temperature respectively.

T₂ = 20+1156.01

T₂ = 1176.01 °C

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
sleet_krkn [62]

-- Accelerating at the rate of 8 m/s², Andy's speed
   after 30 seconds is

                                   (8 m/s²) x (30.0 s)  =  240 m/s .

-- His average speed during that time is

                                 (1/2) (0 + 240 m/s)  =  120 m/s .

-- In 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s,
   Andy will travel a distance of
                                                 (120 m/s) x (30 sec) = 3,600 m

                                                                                = 3.6 km .

"But how ? ! ?", you ask.

How in the world can Andy leave a stop light and then
cover 3.6 km = 2.24 miles in the next 30 seconds ?

The answer is:  His acceleration of  8 m/s², or about  0.82 G
is what does it for him.

At that rate of acceleration ...

-- Andy achieves "Zero to 60 mph" in 3.35 seconds,
   and then he keeps accelerating.

-- He hits 100 mph in 5.59 seconds after jumping the light ...
   and then he keeps accelerating.

-- He hits 200 mph in 11.2 seconds after jumping the light ...
   and then he keeps accelerating.

-- After accelerating at 8 m/s² for 30 seconds, Andy and his
   car are moving at  537 miles per hour !
   We really don't know whether he keeps accelerating,
    but we kind of doubt it. 

A couple of observations in conclusion:

-- We can't actually calculate his displacement with the information given.
   Displacement is the distance and direction between the starting- and
   ending-points, and we're not told whether Andy maintains a straight line
   during this tense period, or is all over the road, adding great distance
   but not a lot of displacement.

-- It's also likely that sometime during this performance, he is pulled
   over to the side by an alert cop in a traffic-control helicopter, and
   never actually succeeds in accomplishing the given description.

Explain how we use a spectrometer to help us determine what stars and planets are made of?
BaLLatris [955]
We use a spectrometer to help us determine what stars and planets are made of by passing a light through various chemical elements, different spectral patterns are created. By matching those patterns up to patterns generated in a laboratory environment we can tell what the composition of a distant star or planet is.
