Answer:

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

Explanation:

This is because the only force acting on your hand as a result of the wooden block is gravitational force because no external pressure is exerted on the block.

Gravitational force is a product of mass and acceleration. It has nothing to do with the surface area of the object.

Hence, regardless of the surface of the wooden block resting on your palm, the force remains the same.

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

The normal force of weight will not differ for different positions of the block.

But the force of pressure applied to the surface of your hand is per unit area. So the side with the smallest area (3 cm x 6 cm) will exert more pressure over a smaller area.

Answer:This also means that Mercury's surface gravity is 3.7 m/s2, which is the equivalent of 38% of Earth's gravity (0.38 g). This means that if you weighed 100 kg (220 lbs) on Earth, you would weigh 38 kg (84 lbs) on Mercury.

Assuming a Chevy Cruze may be operated indefinitely at 30 m/s with no stops for provisions,
kramer

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. In which the speed is defined as the distance traveled in a certain period of time. In turn we must emphasize that 1 light year is equivalent to 9.461*10^{15}m. Mathematically the speed is described as,

v = \frac{x}{t}  \rightarrow t = \frac{x}{v}

Replacing,

t = \frac{9.461*10^{15}}{30}

t = 3.15366*10^{14}s (\frac{1 year}{3.154*10^7})

t \approx 10,000,000 years

Therefore the correct answer is D.

A net torque applied to an object causes __________. A net torque applied to an object causes __________. the angular velocity o
matrenka [14]

Answer:

A net torque applied to an object causes the angular velocity of the object to change.

Explanation:

The rotational equivalence of force is called a Torque. Thus, a net torque will make an object to rotate with an angular acceleration. Due tothe fact that all rotational motions have an axis of rotation, then a torque must be defined about a rotational axis. A force applied to a point on an object about the axis of rotation is known as a torque.
