If Weight=mg and Force=ma, and the only force acting on an object is gravity, then the masses cancel each other out and you are

left with g=a. Therefore, that must mean everything on earth must fall at the same rate. Is this true Why or why not?

The correct answer to question:

Explanation:

gregori [183]2 years ago
5 0

When g=a, that means everything on earth fall at the same rate.

<h3>Why does everything fall to the earth at the same rate?</h3>

As such, 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.

<h3>Why is gravity equal to acceleration?</h3>

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is placed in contact with a diverging lens of focal length 30 cm. The focal length of th
kramer

Answer:

The focal lenth (F) =+10.0cm

Explanation:

The formular for combined focal length (F) is given as;

1/f = 1/f_{1} + 1/f_{2}

In this  question,

F1 = 20cm

F2  = -30cm

Plugging the values into the formuar above,

1/f = 1/20 + 1/(-30)

1/f = 0.05 - 0.033[tex]1/f = -0.017f = [tex]1/ -0.017

f = 58.82cm

i.e. the combination behaves as a converging lens (because of the postive sign) of focal length 58.82cm .

lanet R47A is a spherical planet where the gravitational acceleration on the surface is 3.45 m/s2. A satellite orbitsPlanet R47A
qaws [65]

2.6×10^6\:\text{m}

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}

and solving for R, we find that

R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration F_c experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force F_G or

F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)

The orbital velocity <em>v</em> is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}

where <em>r</em><em> </em>is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and <em>T</em> is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}

Solving for <em>M</em>, we get

M = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get

R = \sqrt{\dfrac{G}{g}\left(\dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}\right)}

\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{g}}

\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{(1.44×10^4\:\text{s})}\sqrt{\dfrac{(5×10^6\:\text{m})^3}{(3.45\:\text{m/s}^2)}}

\:\:\:\:= 2.6×10^6\:\text{m}

A hayride wagon is going down a spooky country road at 15 m/s when a Scarecrow appears in the roadway. The man at the wheel of t
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

d = 68.18 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 15 m/s

Finally it comes to stop, v = 0

Acceleration, a = -1.65 m/s²

Time, t = 2.5 s

We need to find the distance covered by the hayride before coming to a stop. Let d is the distance covered. Using third equation of motion to find it :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{-(15)^2}{2\times -1.65}\\\\d=68.18\ m

So, the hayride will cover a distance of 68.18 m.
