Answer:

According to Newton's second law of motion, a net force causes the acceleration of mass according to Fnet = ma. For uniform circular motion, the acceleration is centripetal acceleration: a = ac. Therefore, the magnitude of centripetal force, Fc, is F c = m a c F c = m a c .

If there is a gravitational force between all objects, why do we not feel or observe it?

Dmitry [639]

We do not feel the gravitational forces from objects other than the Earth because they are weak.

Can someone make an introduction about the "flu shot " and the pro and cons of flu shots.The question is "the benefits outweigh

steposvetlana [31]

Someone can make an introduction about getting a flu shot because, mostly everyone in the world have gotten or just got a flu shot. One example of a pro is that, a flu shot can prevent the flu, and other deadly sicknesses. On example of a con is that, some flu shots can carry side effects which is something that should be tested before given to adults and especially kids!!! Hope this helps!!! Good luck

Calculate the total resistance in a series circuit made up of resistances of 3Ω, 4Ω, and 5Ω.

-BARSIC- [3]

The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of all resistors (R total = ΣRi).

R total = R1 + R2 + R3 = (3 + 4 + 5) Ω = 12 Ω

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.
