<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>

If this is happening on Earth, then the force of gravity between the Earth and the brick is 98 Newtons. It doesn't matter whether the brick is falling, rising, dropped in a vacuum, in water, or into chicken soup, or what else is dropped near it. None of that has any effect on the gravitational force between the Earth and the brick.

In a real machine, the work output is always less than the work input.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Artist 52 [7]
<span>In a real machine, the work output is always less than the work input is true. The answer is letter A. it follows the law of entropy where no energy can be converted completely into work. Under this law, Carnot’s theorem states that Carnot’s engine can perform 100% of work. However, no such engine has ever succeeded the conversion of work into 100%. The greatest efficiency so far is at 80%.  Because there will always be factors that could affect the conversion of work. </span>

Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.
Gennadij [26K]

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

What is elasticity in polymer generally related to?
Andrej [43]
The elasticity of a polymer is primarily due to the structure of the molecule and the cross-linking between strands. Hydrogen bonding is a contributor to the shape of the molecule, but not a major player in terms of elasticity. We would have to answer "false".
