Force = mass * acceleration

10 N - 2 N = 20 kg * acceleration

8 N = 20 kg * acceleration

8 / 20 = acceleration

2/5 m/s^2 = acceleration

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 10 N

Opposing force = 2 N

Mass of object = 20 kg

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of newton's second law

$F = ma$

Where, F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Put the value into the formula

$10N-2N = 20\times a$

$8 N=20\times a$

$a =\dfrac{8}{20}$

$a=0.4\ m/s^2$

Hence, The acceleration is 0.4 m/s²

A dog is 60m away while moving at constant velocity of 10m/s towards you. Where is the dog after 4 seconds?

20m away

the dog was 60m away from. you subtract 40m since it is 10m/s x 4 seconds

A 5.0 kg cannonball is dropped from the top of a tower. It falls for 1.6 seconds before slamming into a sand pile at the base of

stepan [7]

Answer:

15.7 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the cannonball is a accelerated motion with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (gravitational acceleration). Therefore, the velocity of the ball at time t is given by:

$v(t)=u + gt$

where

u = 0 is the initial velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t is the time

If we substitute t=1.6 s into the equation, we find the final velocity of the cannonball:

$v(1.6 s)=0+(9.8 m/s^2)(1.6 s)=15.7 m/s$

Lexy used the formula shown to calculate the force of gravity on a space shuttle. Fg = G What does 3 × 105 kg represent? the dif

STALIN [3.7K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>This term shows the </u><u>mass of the space shuttle</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We know that the mass of the Earth is 5.972 × 10^24 kg. Similarly the sum of mass of earth and the mass of shuttle must be a greater number as compared to the number given. It simply means that the mass of earth is itself 5.972 × 10^24 kg and the value given is 3 × 105 kg so it is obvious that if was the sum then it must be greater than the mass of earth. Therefore we can say that this not the mass of earth, neither the sum of mass of earth and shuttle, but this is only the mass of space shuttle which is the last multiple choice.

A jogger runs 10.0 blocks do east, 5.0 blocks due South, and another two. Zero blocks do east. Assume all blocks are equal size,

Annette [7]

Jogger moves in three displacements

d1 = 10 blocks East

d2 = 5 blocks South

d3 = 2 blocks East

now we can say

total displacement towards East direction will be

$d_x = 10 + 2= 12 blocks$
