<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.

A rock is thrown from the top of a 20-m building at an angle of 53° above the horizontal. If the horizontal range of the throw
NemiM [27]

Answer:

28.5 m/s

18.22 m/s

Explanation:

h = 20 m, R = 20 m, theta = 53 degree

Let the speed of throwing is u and the speed with which it strikes the ground is v.

Horizontal distance, R = horizontal velocity x time

Let t be the time taken

20 = u Cos 53 x t

u t = 20/0.6 = 33.33 ..... (1)

Now use second equation of motion in vertical direction

h = u Sin 53 t - 1/2 g t^2

20 = 33.33 x 0.8 - 4.9 t^2     (ut = 33.33 from equation 1)

t = 1.17 s

Put in equation (1)

u = 33.33 / 1.17 = 28.5 m/s

Let v be the velocity just before striking the ground

vx = u Cos 53 = 28.5 x 0.6 = 17.15 m/s

vy = uSin 53 - 9.8 x 1.17

vy = 28.5 x 0.8 - 16.66

vy = 6.14 m/s

v^2 = vx^2 + vy^2 = 17.15^2 + 6.14^2

v = 18.22 m/s

What evidence can you cite to support the claim that the frequency of light does not change upon reflection?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: The color of an image is identical to the color of the object forming the image. When you look at yourself in a mirror, the color of your eyes doesn’t change. The fact that the color is the same is evidence that the frequency of light doesn’t change upon reflection. 2.

Hope this helps!!

A small electronic device is rated at 0.16 W when connected to 115 V. What is the resistance of this device?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

150156.25 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance: This can be defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit. The S.I unit of resistance is Ohm's (Ω)

The expression for resistance is given as

P = V²/R................ equation 1

Where P = power, V = Voltage, R = Resistance.

Making R the subject of the equation,

R = V²/P.................. Equation 2

Given: V = 115 V , P = 0.16 W.

Substitute into equation 2

R = 155²/0.16

R = 150156.25 Ω

Hence,

The resistance = 150156.25 Ω

An object is placed at zero zero on a Number line. It moves three units to the right, then four units to the left, and then 60 u
STatiana [176]

Answer:

the displacement of the object is 5 units

Explanation:

The computation of the displacement of the object is shown below:

= Move to the right + move to the right - move to the left

= 6 units + 3 units - 4 units

= 9 units - 4 units

= 5 units

Hence, the displacement of the object is 5 units
