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

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.

Two students make the following claims:

Answer:

E. Student 1 is correct, because as θ is increased, h is the same.

Explanation:

Here we have the object of a certain mass falling under gravity so the force acting on the it will depend on mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically:

$F=m.g$

As we know that the work done is evaluated as the force applied on a body and the displacement of the body in the direction of the force.

And for work we have:

$W=F.s\cos\theta$

where:

$s=$ displacement of the object

$\theta=$ angle between the force and displacement vectors

Given that the height of the object is same in each trail of falling object under the gravity be it a free-fall or the incline plane.

In case of free-fall the angle between the force is and the displacement is zero.
In case when the body moves along the inclined plane the force applied by the gravity is same because it depends upon the mass of the object. And the net displacement in the direction of the gravitational force is the height of the object which is constant in both the cases.

So, the work done by the gravitational force is same in the two cases.

The true brightness of an object is called its

g100num [7]

The true brightness of an object is called its luminosity. It is the total amount of energy emitted by bright or meteorological objects over a period of time. It has the SI unit of joules per second or watts. So the answer is letter A. Intensity is the measure of how strong the substance or object is when it projects something. Magnitude is a measure of how great is the size the object produces. Viscosity is the measure of flow of a substance.

A 0.60 kg rubber ball has a speed of 2.0 m/s at point A, and kinetic energy of 7.5 J at point

aliina [53]

Let's first off calculate the kinetic energy using the formula 1/2MV^2. Where the mass, M, is 0.6Kg. And speed, V, is 2. Hence we have 1/2 * 0.6 * 2^2 = 1.2J. Since kinetic energy is energy due to motion; hence at point B the rubber has a KE of 1.2J and not 7.5J. So I would say that only the Mass and speed is actually true; While it's kinetic energy is not true.
