Answer:

Equal to W

Explanation:

It is given that, an object of weight W is in free fall close to the surface of Earth. Weight of an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration. On the surface of Earth, the weight is given by :

W=mg

g=9.8\ m/s^2

The magnitude of the force that the object exerts on Earth is equal to W as per the Newton's third law of motion. The force exerted from one object to another object must be equal to and opposite to the force exerted from object 2 to 1.

So, the correct option is (c) "equal to W".

The acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring, was written by this woman in 1962.

Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment. 
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Nady [450]
Fk = μK N

N = m a

N = 4 × a

N = 4a

Fk = μK N

17 = 5 × 4a

17 = 20 a

a = ¹⁷/₂₀ = 0.85 m/s²

determine whether the following equations are dimensionally correct if not how can you make them dimensionally correct 1 /2 mv2
serg [7]

Answer:

1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh

Explanation:

The correct equation follows the law of conservation of energy where kinetic energy is all transformed to potential energy, since we know that kinetic energy is expressed as

1 /2 mv^{2} while potential energy is mgh where m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity or speed of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the vertical height. Therefore, relating the two equations we should have 1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh
