50 N of force is exerted on a crate. It accelerates at a rate of 1.2 m/s/s. Calculate its mass

If the force on an object is in the negative direction, the work it does on the object must be [2 points a) negative. b) positive c) the work could be either positive or negative, depending on the direction the object moves

Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
