The wall pushes back with the same force you exert so 40N.

to show your acceleration is .5m/s^2 use newtons second law F=ma

so plugging in numbers gives 40N=80kg*a knowing that a newton is equal 1kgm/s^2 we could write 40kg*m/s^2= 80kg*a so solving for a gives

40kg*m/s^2/80kg = a we see the kg's cancel and we're left with
(40m/s^2)/80=a which gives .5m/s^2=a

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Magnets can create electricity and electricity can create a magnetic force.

Both electric charges and magnets do not have to touch an object in order to exert a force on it.

Electromagnets use electricity to create a magnetic force.

Any kind of wave spreads out after passing through a small enough gap in a barrier. This phenomenon is known as _________. a) di
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

a) diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction occurs when waves pass through small openings, around obstacles or sharp edges.When an opaque object is between the point of light and a screen, the border between the shaded and illuminated regions on the screen is not defined. A careful inspection of the scrubber shows that a small amount of light is diverted to the shaded region. The region outside the shadow contains bright and dark altered bands, where the intensity of the first band is brighter than the region of uniform illumination.

Use Newton's laws of motion to explain why it is important that baseballs and softballs each have a small acceptable range of ma
tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

new non law neutron means neutral then it's important that baseball and softball features small respectable range of masses soft it means that when a ball hits anything hard it comes back by the Newton Law if the baseball is big and the small boy small and then if the contract with each other they ignore triple so when a ball hits the wall if the comeback because of the Mutants and when a big ball if we throw it to the wall it doesn't come that it comes back but in a very low way because it contains less neutrons in it if it is helpful please share with me

Two billiard balls move toward each other on a table. The mass of the number three ball, m1, is 5 g with a velocity of 3 m/s. Th
Stels [109]

This question deals with the law of conservation of momentum, which basically says that the total momentum in a system must stay the same, provided there are no outside forces. Since you were given the mass and velocity of the two objects you can find the momentum (p=mv) of each and then add them together to find the total momentum of the system before they collide. This total momentum must be the same after they collide.  Since you have the mass and velocity of one of the objects after the collision you can find the its momentum after.  Subtract this from the the system total and you will have the momentum of the other object after the collision.  Now that you know the momentum of the other object you can find its velocity using p=mv and its mass from before.

Be careful with the velocities.  They are vectors, so direction matters.  Typically moving to the right is positive (+) and moving to the left is negative (-).  It is not clear from your question which direction the objects are moving before and after the collision.
