Answer:

 20 N

Explanation:

The relevant formula is ...

  F = ma . . . . m = mass, a = acceleration

  F = (10 kg)(2 m/s²) = 20 kg·m/s² = 20 N

George is applying force of 20 N.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

In 2 m/s², m is used to stand for the unit 'meters'. It should not be confused with the formula m, which stands for mass.

An example of acceleration
TEA [102]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton’s Second Law of Motion says that acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass (object). Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. Your bicycle is the mass.

3.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

1.84 kJ  (kilojoules)

Explanation:

A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.

If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:

Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)

Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C -  20° C)

[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]

Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ

[Note that the number is positive:  Energy is added to the system.  If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C).  The number is -1.84 kJ:  the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).

A perfectly elastic<span> collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of </span>kinetic energy<span> in the collision. Therefore, we just add the kinetic energies of each system. We calculate as follows:

KE = 0.5(</span>1.0 × 10^3)(12.5 )^2 + 0.5(1.0 × 10^3)(12.5 )^2
KE = 156250 J = 1.6 x 10^5 J -------> OPTION A
