Two forces are acting on a 2.0 kg object that moves with acceleration 6.0 m/s2 in the positive y-direction. If one of the forces acts in the positive x-direction and has magnitude of 22 N, what is the magnitude of the other force (in N)

12N

Explanation:

We are given that one of the forces are acting only in the horizontal x-direction. As a force must be applied on an object of mass in order to cause acceleration, the 6.0ms^-2 acceleration is due to the non-horizontal force acting on the 2.0kg object.

Using Newton's Second Law of motion; we know that for a constant mass, force is equal to mass times acceleration, F=ma.

Assuming the other force is acting only in the vertical direction (question doesn't specify, thus we are finding the minimum force to cause this acceleration):

F= 2.0kg * 6.0ms^-2

F=12.0 kgms^-2

F=12 N

1/0.14nm = 10^10/1.4 a lot

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
