A lighter like the one shown below uses a substance called butane as its fuel. The butane can be burned to create a flame at the tip of the lighter. A teacher shows some of her students that the el inside the lighter's fuel tank is a liquid. But when she pushes the button that lets the fuel out of the lighter, they observe that it comes out as a gas. She and her students decide to investigate to discover what makes the butane change from a liquid to a gas. Which Step of an investigation would help them determine what causes the change of state?

two charges are fixed in place on the x-axis as shown. the charge at x = 0 is negative and has magnitude q = 2 μcoulombs (1 μcoulomb = 10-6 coulombs). the charge at x = d, (d = +12 cm), is positive and has magnitude q = 4 μcoulombs. find a point x = xo along the x-axis at which the electric field is zero.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
