Why can we say that the ratio of net force to mass is constant forany dropped object on Earth?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

All objects free fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. Because the 9.8 N/kg gravitational field at Earth's surface causes a 9.8 m/s/s acceleration of any object placed there, we often call this ratio the acceleration of gravity.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law, if I remember right.

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it. According to Newton’s third law the sled exerts the force of 50 N on you in the opposite direction. The total force is zero, thus the sled should never start moving. But it does. Thus Newton’s third law is wrong. What is your opinion about this answer? How can you convince your friend of your opinion?
pls help

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and  opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .

0.02s

Answers

Answer:

it's answer is 5 seconds,

Explanation:

Given

Power (p) = 400 watt

work (w) = 2000 J

time taken (t) = ?

we know that,

p = w/t

400 = 2000 / t

t = 2000/400

Therefore t = 5 sec

a body of mass 0.6kg is thrown vertically upward from the ground with a speed 20m/s. calculate potential energy at the maximum height reached​

Answers

Answer:

120J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the body = 0.6kg

Speed  = 20m/s

Unknown:

Potential energy at maximum height  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy at maximum height is equal to the kinetic energy that the body has gained.

 Kinetic energy  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] mv²

 Kinetic energy  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  x 0.6 x 20²  = 120J

At the maximum height, the potential energy will be 120J

A person is standing on a raft; their
combined mass is 233 kg. What is the
volume of water displaced by the raft?
[?] m3
Pwater = 1,000 kg/m3

Answers

Answer:

The volume of water displaced by the raft is 0.233 m³

Explanation:

The question relates to Archimedes' principle which states that the buoyant force experienced by an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of (the force of gravity on) the displaced fluid

The given parameters are;

The combined mass of the person and the raft, m = 233 kg

The liquid on which the raft is located = Water

The density of water, [tex]\rho _{water}[/tex] = 1000 kg/m³

Weight = Mass, m × g

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Given that the raft is on the surface of the water (floating), the buoyant force is equal to the combined weight of the person and the raft = 233 kg

The combined weight of the person and the raft, [tex]W_{combined}[/tex] = 233 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 2,283.4 N

Therefore;

The buoyant force = 2,283.4 N = The weight of the water displaced

The mass of the water displaced, [tex]m_{water}[/tex], = 2,283.4 N/(9.8 m/s²) = 233 kg

Density = Mass/Volume

The volume of water displaced by the raft = The mass of the water displaced/(The density of the water) = 233 kg/(1,000 kg/m³) = 0.233 m³.

Answer:

the volume displaced by the raft = 0.233 m3

help i need an explanation

Answers

Answer:

125.44 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight on earth = 784 N

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.6 m/s²

Weight on moon =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the person. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight on earth (Wₑ) = 784 N

Acceleration due to gravity of earth (gₑ) = 10 m/s²

Mass (m) =?

Wₑ = m × gₑ

784 = mass × 10

Divide both side by 10

Mass = 784 / 10

Mass = 78.4 Kg

Finally, we shall determine the weight of the person on moon. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = constant = 78.4 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.6 m/s²

Weight on moon (Wₘ) =?

Wₘ = m × gₘ

Wₘ = 78.4 × 1.6

Wₘ = 125.44 N

Therefore, the weight of the person on moon is 125.44 N.

Where on the track would the cart have the most kinetic energy?

Group of answer choices

Position A

Position B

Position C

Position D

Answers

Answer:

Position C

Explanation:

Position A has the highest amount of potential energy. At position C, most of that potential energy was transformed to kinetic energy. Because it is at the bottom part of the hill, and is beginning to reclimb, point C has the highest kinetic energy.

The energy of the body by the virtue of its motion is known as the kinetic energy of the body. At position C on the track would the cart have the most kinetic energy.

What is kinetic energy?

The energy of the body by the virtue of its motion is known as the kinetic energy of the body. It is defined as the product of half of mass and square of the velocity.

According to the law of conservation of energy can not be created nor be destroyed can be transferred from one form to another form.

The total energy is defined as the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.

Total energy = kinetic energy+potential energy

Position A contains the most potential energy. The majority of that potential energy was converted to kinetic energy at location C.

Point C has the most kinetic energy since it is at the bottom of the slope and is starting to climb again.

Hence at position C on the track would the cart have the most kinetic energy.

why is it possible for iron ships to float o water,but needles sink when dropped in water​

Answers

Explanation:

Needles sinks in water due to the more density of needles than the density of water. But ship is made hollow and contains air. So it's average density Is less than that of water. It displaces the liquid of it's own weight causing the ship to float on water.

So, it it possible for iron ships to float on water,but needles sink when dropped in water.

Answers

Answer: the force of static friction of the sleigh on the crate

Explanation:

The force that is responsible for the crates increase in speed up the hill is the force of static friction of the sleigh on the crate.

When a light horizontal push is applied and which isn't enough to move the box, the static friction force will also be directly opposite to the push.

When an individual pushes harder, the force of the friction will then be enough to create a push.
