1) 29.4 N
The force of gravity between two objects is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M and m are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the centres of mass of the two objects
In this problem, we have
(mass of the Earth)
(mass of the box)
(Earth's radius, which is also the distance between the centres of mass of the two objects, since the box is located at Earth's surface)
Substituting into the equation, we find F:
2)
Let's now calculate the ratio F/m. We have:
F = 29.4 N
m = 3.0 kg
Subsituting, we find
This is called acceleration of gravity, and it is the acceleration at which every object falls near the Earth's surface. It is indicated with the symbol .
We can prove that this is the acceleration of the object: in fact, according to Newton's second law,
where a is the acceleration of the object. Re-arranging,
which is exactly equal to the quantity we have calculated above.
Answer:
a. Volts = current x resistance
Explanation:
Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.
Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;
Where;
V represents voltage measured in voltage.
I represents current measured in amperes.
R represents resistance measured in ohms.
Hence, Ohm's law gives the relationship between voltage, current and resistance of an electric circuit.
