2.What is the weight of an object that has a mass of 5 kg?<br>

A sled is accelerating down a hill at a rate of 1 m s2 . If the mass of the sled is suddenly cut in half and the net force on th

mihalych1998 [28]

We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
$a'= \frac{2F}{ \frac{m}{2} } = \frac{4F}{m} = 4\frac{F}{m}$
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

Which of the following is the best definition of an element?

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

A. chemical substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons

Explanation:

An element is a substance which contains identical atoms that have the same number of protons in the nucleus.

Elements are arranged in the periodic table according to their atomic number (= number of protons): so atoms of different elements have a different number of protons in their nuclei.

For a neutral atom, the number of electrons around the nucleus is also equal to the number of protons.

Moreover, atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons, despite having the same number of protons - these atoms are called isotopes.

An AM radio station broadcasts isotropically (equally in all directions) with an average power of 3.40 kW. A receiving antenna 6

To solve the problem we will apply the concepts related to the Intensity as a function of the power and the area, as well as the electric field as a function of the current, the speed of light and the permeability in free space, as shown below.

The intensity of the wave at the receiver is

$I = \frac{P_{avg}}{A}$
