true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.

Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

Calculate the Force of Gravity acting on an object that has a mass of 1.3 kg. The object is on Earth so use 9.8m/s2 for the acce
sweet-ann [11.9K]
To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.

Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.

The solution is C. 12.7 N.

What are three physical properties of gases
NikAS [45]

Answer:   Gases have three characteristic properties: (1) they are easy to compress, (2) they expand to fill their containers, and (3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.

A boy pulls a 28.0-kg box with a 230-N force at 35° above a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between t
ddd [48]

Answer:

1977.696 J

Explanation:

Given;

Weight of the box = 28.0 kg

Force applied by the boy = 230 N

angle between the horizontal and the force = 35°

Therefore,

the horizontal component of the force = 230 × cosθ

= 230 × cos 35°

= 188.405 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.24

Force by friction, f = μN

here,

N = Normal force = Mass × acceleration due to gravity

or

N = 28 × 9.81 = 274.68 N

therefore,

f = 0.24 × 274.68

or

f = 65.9232 N

Now,

work done by the boy, W₁ = 188.405 N × Displacement  

= 188.405 N × 30

= 5652.15 J

and,

the

work done by the friction, W₂ = - 65.9232 N × Displacement  

= - 65.9232 N × 30 m

= - 1977.696 J

[ since the friction force acts opposite to the direction of motion, therefore the workdone will be negative]
