Explanation:
Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground
Static electricity<span> is a </span>buildup<span> of </span>electric<span> charges on objects. Charges </span>build up<span> when negative </span>electrons<span> are transferred from one object to another. The object that gives </span>up electrons<span> becomes positively charged, and the object that accepts the </span>electrons<span> becomes negatively charged. This can </span>happen<span> in several ways</span>
Answer:
An old clock that has a swinging pendulum
Explanation:
Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is
<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²
where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².
The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is
<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²
<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N
Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.
This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of
<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²
i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.
