Why doesn't the force of gravity change the speed of a bowling ball as it rolls along a bowling lane?

Physics
1 answer:
Oliga [24]3 years ago
5 0
Because the gravitational force, which points downward, is perfectly balanced by the normal reaction of the floor of the bowling lane, which points upward. The two forces are equal in magnitude, so the net force acting vertically on the bowling ball is zero, therefore there is no acceleration along this direction. Moreover, since the ball is moving in the horizontal direction, the gravitational force has no component along this direction, so it does not change the velocity of the ball.

Given that on Earth, gravity causes an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2, what is an acceleration of 7 g?
zzz [600]

Answer:

68.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

1 g = 9.8 m/s^2

so

7 g × 9.8m/s^2 = 68.6

2. A woman prevents a 3kg brick from falling by pressing it against a vertical wall. The coefficient of friction
Anettt [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

49 N

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of the brick as 3 kg
  • The coefficient of friction as 0.6

We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.

  • We need to importantly note that;
  • For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.
  • That is; Friction force = Mg

But; Friction force = μ F

Therefore;

μ F = mg

0.6 F = 3 × 9.8

0.6 F = 29.4

      F = 49 N

Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 4.5 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.2 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to
jok3333 [9.3K]

a.) K 2=K 1 +GmM( r 21− r 11)=2.2×10 7J

b.) ​K 2 +GmM( r 11− r 21)=6.9×10 7 J

Applying Law of  Energy conservation :

K 1+U 1

=K 2+U 2

⇒K 1− r 1GmM

=K 2− r 2 GmM

where M=5.0×10 23kg,r1

=> R=3.0×10 6m and m=10kg

(a) If K 1​

=5.0×10 7J and r 2

=4.0×10 6 m, then the above equation leads to

K 2=K 1 +GmM (r 21− r 11)=2.2×10 7J

(b) In this case, we require K 2

=0 and r2

=8.0×10 6m, and solve for K 1:K 1

​=K 2 +GmM (r 11− r 21)=6.9×10 7 J

A weightlifter works out at the gym each day. Part of her routine is to lie on her back and lift a 43 kg barbell straight up fro
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A. 231.77 J

B. 5330.71 J

C. 46 donuts

Explanation:

A. To lift the barbell once, she will have to extend it the full length of her arm. The work done will then be:

W = F * d

Where the force is the weight of the barbell.

F = m * g

Hence, the work done in lifting the barbell is:

W = m * g * d

W = 43 * 9.8 * 0.55

W = 231.77 J

B. If she does 23 repetitions, the total energy she expend will be equal to the Potential energy when the barbell is lifted multiplied by 23:

E = 23 * m * g * d

E = 23 * 231.77

E = 5330.71 J

C. 1 Joule = 4.184 calories

5330.71 Joules = 5330.71 * 4.184 = 22303.69

If 1 donut contains 490 calories, the number of donuts she will need will be:

N = 22303.69/490 = 45.5 donuts or 46 donuts
