A student measures the weight of a puck and finds 365g. She wants to express her result using scientific notation. Which option below is the correct expression?
Select one:
365 x 102 g
36.5 x 10' g
365 g
3.65 x 10° g
The total force on an object is ( 20 ı ^ + 40 ȷ ^ ) Newtons. Its acceleration is ( 4 ı ^ + 8 ȷ ^ ) m/s2. Calculate the object's mass
When a constant force is applied to an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass when a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 20 kg the acceleration of the object is 2 m/s^2 when the same force acts upon another object it’s acceleration is 4 m/s^2 what is the mass of this object
