Answer:
Option A decreases with increase in altitude
Explanation:
This can be explained as the value of gravitational acceleration, 'g' is not same everywhere.
It has its maximum value at poles of the Earth and minimum on its equator.
Thus a person will weigh more at poles than equator.
This variation is in accordance to:
Thus the gravitational acceleration changes as inverse square of the Radius of the Earth.
Thus as we move away from the Earth's center, gravitational acceleration, g decreases.
Answer:
The electrical energy consumed by a toaster is 0.033 Kwh.
Explanation:
The power utilized by the toaster is 400 W.
The toaster is operated for 5 Minutes.
We know that,
Substitute the values in the above formula to obtain electrical energy,
Electrical energy = 0.4 × 0.083
Electrical energy is 0.033 Kwh.
Using the 2nd equation of motion;
= s = ut + ½at²
= 40 = u×2 + ½ × 6 × 2²
= 40 = 2u + 3 × 4
= 40 - 12 = 2u
= 28/2 = u
= 14 m/s = u
And its done! Simple isn't? :P
Answer:
Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2
Explanation:
The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.
- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.
The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.
