The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass. The formula for acceleration is \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
cirrus |
|
cumulus |
|
stratus |
|
cumulonimbus |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.

|
