If a cart of 4kg mass has a force of 8 newtons exerted on it what is it's acceleration

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Force=mass x acceleration
Data:
mass=4 Kg
Force=8 N

8 N=4 kg * a
a=8 N/4 Kg=2 m/s²

answer: the acceleration is 2 m/s²

In 2005, the space probe Deep Impact launched a 370 kg projectile into Comet Temple 1. Observing the collision helped scientists learn about the comet’s characteristics. The comet is estimated to have a mass of about 9.0 x 10^13 kg.a. Assuming the estimated mass of the comet at that time was correct, at what distance from the comet’s centre was the gravitational force between the comet and the projectile 32 N?

b. Deep Impact also released a probe to fly by the comet and record images of the collision. Determine the strength of the comet’s gravitational field at the probe’s distance of 5.0 x 103 km from the comet.

Answers

Parta a.

Equation: F = G*m1*m2/d^2

Where
F = 32 N
G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2
m1 = 9.0*10^13kg
m2 =370 kg
d = distance that separate the center of the two objects.

d^2 = G*m1*m2 / F = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2 * 9.0*10^13 kg *370 kg / 32N = 69,409.69 m^2

d = √69,409.69m^2 = 263.5 m

Part B.

The gravitational field of the comet is g = G*m1/d^2

Notice that it does not depend on the mass of other objects.

Notice also that I will use a distance of 5.0 * 10^3 km, because I think that that is the number that you intended to write in the part b. If that is not the number you can put the right number instead because the solution is written step by step.

g = (6.67*10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2)*(9.0*10^13kg)/(5.0*10^3*10^3m)^2 = 2.4*10^-4 N/kg = 2.4*10^-4 m/s^2

What is the purpose of sensory adaptation

Answers

Sensory adaptation is when the sensory receptors change and adapt to different stimuli. For example in a darkened room your pupils enlarge allowing more of the available light in. This is why you can see a little better in the dark after you get used to it.
Sensory adaptation is a phenomenon in which sensory neurons change their level of sensitivity to a constant stimulus over time. This adaptation allows people to adapt to their environments while balancing the need to receive new sensory input. Neurons involved with smell, hearing, taste, touch, and sight can all exhibit this phenomenon.

If continents continue to drift, is it possible that a new supercontinent will form ? Which continents might be next to each other 200 million years from now.

Answers

Yes, it is already happening. About 270 million years ago the continents collided to form Pangea, and now, after the continents separated they continue to drift apart. Attached is a picture of what it may all look like when they recollide. Scientist are still not really sure.

Ix identical square pyramids can fill the same volume as a cube with the same base. If the height of the cube is h units, what is true about the height of each pyramid? a.The height of each pyramid is h units.
b.The height of each pyramid is h units.
c.The height of each pyramid is h units.
d.The height of each pyramid is h units.

Answers

Answer:

height of each pyramid must be 3h units

Explanation:

As we know that the volume of the cube is same as that of volume of square pyramid

so we have volume of the cube is given as

V = h^3

now if the base area of pyramid and the cube is same

so we will have

V_(pyramid) = (1)/(3) Base\: Area * height

V_(pyramid) = (1)/(3) h^2 * y

now since both have same volume

(1)/(3)h^2 y = h^3

y = 3h

height of each pyramid must be 3h units
