Answer:

<h2>Gravity.</h2>

Explanation:

If you are holding the bag of sand, the only acceleration in the system is gravity, because is a vertical movement. So, $a = 9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

We are assuming that is vertical movement because is say ''dropped'', which is a term used in Free-fall models, where acceleration is constant.

100N describes the weight of the sandbag, while 100kg is the mass of the sandbag.

To calculate acceleration, divide your weight by the mass, thus the accleration is:

$100N/100kg = 1(m/s^2)$

Why is there no electric field at the center of a charged spherical conductor?

Alja [10]

I reported this question by accident, I am sorry.

Anyways, there is no electric field at the center of a charged spherical conductor because all the charged particles are at the edges and because of the complete cancellation everywhere.

Answer:

F = 1958.4 N

Explanation:

By volume conservation of the fluid on both sides we can say that volume of fluid displaced on the side of the car must be equal to the volume of fluid on the other side

so we have

$L_1A_1 = L_2A_2$
