Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:

\Sigma F = ma

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

We are given the mass and acceleration, so:

∑F = 20 · 2 = <u>40 N</u>

Please someone help me.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

acceleration of the car is 3 m\s^2

Explanation:

from rest means the initial velocity (vi) is zero

time = 5s

final velocity (vf) = 15m\s

a = vf - vi \ t

a = (15-0) \ 5

a= 3 m\s^2

which means that the car is speeding up 3 meters every second

A 51-kg woman runs up a vertical flight of stairs in 5.0 s. Her net upward displacement is 5.0 m. Approximately, what average po
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The average power the woman exerts is 0.5 kW

Explanation:

We note that power, P = The rate at which work is done = Work/Time

Work = Energy

The total work done is the potential energy gained which is the energy due to vertical displacement

Given that the vertical displacement = 5.0 m, we have

Total work done = Potential energy gained = Mass, m × Acceleration due to gravity, g × Vertical height, h

m = 51 kg

g = Constant = 9.81 m/s²

h = 5.0 m

Also, time, t = 5.0 s

Total work done = 51 kg × 9.81 m/s²× 5 m = 2501.55 kg·m²/s² = 2501.55 J

P = 2501.55 J/(5 s) = 500.31 J/s = 500.31 W ≈ 500 W = 0.5 kW.

Which type of electromagnetic waves make up the colors of a rainbow seen after a storm?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

we conclude that visible light is that electromagnetic wave that makes up the colors of a rainbow seen after a storm.

Hence, option A is correct.

Explanation:

Generally, after the storm, we can witness the presence of a rainbow with our naked eyes. Rainbow, visible to our eyes, consists of all the seven constituent colors of white light. Those seven colors range from violet to red, all having different wavelengths. When water particles present in our atmosphere get exposed to light, all the constituent colors of a white light tend to deviate at a variety of angles. It happens due to their refraction through water particles; thus, a spectrum is obtained.

As we cannot see X-rays, UV rays, and infrared waves through our naked eye, visible light is the kind of electromagnetic wave that makes anyone able to see the objects.  

Please note that all the constitute colors of a beautiful rainbow associate with the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Therefore, we conclude that visible light is that electromagnetic wave that makes up the colors of a rainbow seen after a storm.

Hence, option A is correct.

In a given reversible process, the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant as the gas is compressed to a smaller volume. Wh
sesenic [268]

Answer:

B. The gas must release heat to its surroundings.

Explanation:

Since the process is reversible , it must be slow . Since temperature is kept constant so the internal energy is constant , Since volume is decreased , pressure must be increased. Since work is done on the gas ( gas is compressed )  , so heat must be released by the gas so that its internal energy remains constant.
