The smaller object will have a larger acceleration than the larger object. This is because, from Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is given by: a = F/m where a is acceleration F is resultant force and m is mass F is constant, so acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Hence, the smaller object will have a larger acceleration.
Object b has a smaller mass because Newton's second law says that F=ma ... or m=F/a ... or mass is inversely proportional to acceleration. Since the applied force (F) is the same in both situations and the acceleration (a) of object b is larger than that of object a, object b must be smaller than object a.
A microsecond is smaller than one second.
Let L equal the larger of the two integers and S the smaller. Then L=2S. Also L-1/S=1/S. Starting with this second equation and solving for L results in L=2/S. Equating the two values of L produces 2/S=2S and 1/S=S. The solutions to this last equation are S=1 or S=-1. If L is to be the larger of the two integers, then S must equal 1 and L must equal 2.
The equation to solve it is Newton's Second Law. You also need to know how long you apply the force. Since F = ma, or a = F/m, the acceleration is greater for the smaller mass, and the smaller mass will end up traveling faster.
Newton's Second Law says force = mass * acceleration. If you push on two objects with the same force, the object with the smaller mass will have a greater acceleration.
ANSWER: a larger distance than in the second before
Let X be one number and Y be the second number So X = 3Y and X + Y = 18 To solve, substitute the value of X from the first equation into the second equation. 3Y + Y = 18 4Y = 18 Y = 4.5 So X = 3*(4.5) = 13.5
Call the large number L and the small number S.L + S = 70L = 4 + 2SSubstitute the value of L in the second equation into the first equation to get:4 + 3S = 703S = 66S = 22Plugging 22 in for S (in either equation) gives:L = 48
Start by stating what we know as equations.... X + Y = 70 X = 4 + (2Y) Replace the X in the first equation with the value we get in the second equation 4 + (2Y) + Y = 70 Subtract 4 from both sides (2Y) + Y = 66 Remove the brackets 2Y + Y = 66 3Y = 66 Divide both sides by 3 Y = 22 (The smaller number) Replace the Y in the first equation X + 22 = 70 X = 70 - 22 X = 48 (The larger number)
3x = y-1x + y = 29From the first equation, y = 3x+1Plugging into the second equation:x + 3x + 1 = 294x+1=294x=28x=7plugging that into the second equation,7 + y = 29y = 223(7)=(22)-121 = 21, and the first equation checks as well. ■
Thanks to Isaac Newton's Second Law of Motion, one can determine the mass of an object if he or she knows both the force acting upon the object and the acceleration of the object. Newton's equation is as follows: F = ma; where "F" is the force acting upon the object, "m" is the mass of the object. and "a" is the acceleration of the object. Solving for "m", the equation can be rewritten as: m = F/m. Substitute force for "F", and acceleration for "a", and you can solve for the mass of the object.
