A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s^2. What will the acceleration be if: a) The force is halved? b) The object's mass is halved? c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: What you need to know is that the force is

F=ma

The force is the product of mass and acceleration

this means that the acceleration is

a=F/m

a) The force is halved?
this means that f will be (F)/(2) now:

a=(F)/(2m)

So the accelaration will also he halved (it's the original acceleratation divided by 2)


 b) The object's mass is halved?
a=(F)/(m/2)=a=(F2)/(m)

which is the original acceleration times two!! so it will double


c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?
now we have

a=(F/2)/(m/2)=a=(2F)/(2m)=a=(F)/(m)

so they will cancel each other out and the acceleration will stay the same!

You ride your bike for a distance of 30 km. You travel at a speed of 0.75 km/ minute. How many minutes does this take?

Answers

Answer:

Time taken, t = 40 minutes

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered, d = 30 km

Speed of the person, v = 0.75 km/min

Time taken by the person is given by :

t=(d)/(v)

t=(30\ km)/(0.75\ km/min)  

t = 40 minutes

So, the time taken by the person is 40 minutes. Hence, this is the required solution.

(30 km)/(0.75 km/min) = 40 min

A force of 200 N is required to keep an object sliding at a constant speed of 2 m/s across a rough floor. How much power is being expended to maintain this motion?

Answers

Force x speed = power
200 x 2 = 400 watts

Answer:

Explanation:

Power = work/time

Work = force x distance

power = force X distance/time (velocity)

power = 200N x 2m/s

power = 400 joules

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.A) The particles are bound through intermolecular forces but are able to move past each other with relative freedom.
B) The particles have sufficient energy to become an ionized gas and are in the most common state of matter in the universe.
C) The particles are not able to move out of their positions relative to one another, but do have small vibrational movements.
D) The particles are not bound to one another, move quickly, have a low density, and are able to spread apart from one another if unconstrained.

Identify the correct order of increasing intermolecular force of attraction for the three most common states of matter.
A) liquid → solid → gas
B) solid → liquid → gas
C) gas → liquid → solid
D) gas → solid → liquid

Answers

1) The correct answer is
C) The particles are not able to move out of their positions relative to one another, but do have small vibrational movements.
In solids, in fact, particles are bound together so they cannot move freely. However, they can move around their fixed position with small vibrational movements, whose intensity depends on the temperature of the substance (the higher the temperature, the more intense the vibrations). For this reason, we say that matter moves also in solid state.

2)  The correct answer is
A) increase the concentration of both solutions
In fact, when we increase the concentration of both solutions, we increase the number of particles that react in both solutions; as a result, the speed of the reaction will increase.

3)  The correct answer is
C) gas → liquid → solid
In gases, in fact, particles are basically free to move, so the intermolecular forces of attraction are almost negligible. In liquids, particles are still able to move, however the intermolecular forces of attraction are stronger than in gases. Finally, in solids, particles are bound together, so they are not free to move and the intermolecular forces of attraction are very strong.
