Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 6 \ Newtons}}

Explanation:

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. The mass of the object is 5 kilograms, but the acceleration is unknown.

We can find acceleration using the following formula:

a= \frac{ \Delta v}{t}

The velocity of the object increases by 3 meters per second. It accelerates in 2.5 seconds.

  • Δv= 3 m/s
  • t= 2.5 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

a= \frac{3 \ m/s}{2.5 \ s}

a= 1.2  \ m/s/s = 1.2 \ m/s^2

Now we know the mass and acceleration.

  • m= 5 kg
  • a= 1.2 m/s²

Substitute the values into the force formula.

F=ma

F= (5 \ kg)(1.2 \ m/s^2)

F= 6 \ kg*m/s^2

Convert the units. 1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Our answer of 6 kilogram meters per second squared is equal to 6 Newtons.

F= 6 \ N

Hi there!

Recall Newton's Second Law:

\large\boxed{\Sigma F = ma}

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

We must begin by solving for the acceleration using the following:

a = Δv/t

In this instance:

Δv = 3 m/s

t = 2.5 sec

a = 3/2.5 = 1.2 m/s²

Now, plug this value along with the mass into the equation for net force:

\Sigma F = 5(1.2) = \boxed{6 N}}

PLEASE ANSWER FAST!! A scientist put red blood cells in water that contained salt. Over time, the red blood cells burst. What is
Nitella [24]
It is most likely true that there was a lower concentration of salt in the water than in the cells because when blood cells are put in a hypotonic solution such as pure water, the little to no salt concentration in the water causes the cells to swell and burst. This would occur because the water would try to dilute the solution inside of the blood cell and which would, therefore, cause it to burst. Hope this helps!

1.what is gravity?(in your own words)
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

1.Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other

2.The suns gravity pulls the planet towards the sun which changes the straight line of direction into a curve

That keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun

hope it helped:)

Can someone help me on question 1?
grigory [225]
In question 1, both of your answers are correct, but I don't understand the process you went through in the 'a' part.

R = v/I . That's a correct formula.
But it doesn't help you in this form, because you need to find I
So turn it into a helpful form ... Solve it for I, so it says I=something.

R= v/I

Multiply each side by I : R I = V.

Now divide each side by R: I= V/R .
THERE'S the equation you want.

I = V / R

I = 1.5 / 10 = 0.15 Amp.

That's slightly cleaner, although I don't really understand what you were actually thinking in that part.

But again ... You answered both parts correctly, and your process in b is fine.

Why do scientist use models to study atoms
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Scientists use models to study atoms, Because atoms are very tiny, and almost impossible to cut open and look inside.. And the center of an atom is the nucleus and that is ever smaller.
