Hello there.
<span>
At ground level g is 9.8m/s^2. Suppose the earth started to increase its angular velocity. How long would a day be when people on the equator were just 'thrown off'? Why is the expression 'thrown off' a bad one ?
</span>
People would not be thrown off.

Let s = rate of rotation 
<span>Let r = radius of earth = 6,400km </span>
<span>Then solving (s^2) r = g will give the desired rate, from which length of day is inferred. </span>
<span>People would not be thrown off. They would simply move eastward in a straight line while the curved surface of earth fell away from beneath them.</span>

Question If a force of 2N is used to move a box 1 meter, how much work was done to move the box?​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

I assume that the force of 2N is applied along the direction of motion and was applied for the whole 1 meter, the formula of work is this; Work = force * distance * cosθ where θ is zero degrees. Plugging in the data to the formula;

Explanation:

Work = 2N * 1m * cos 0º.

Work = 2N * 1m * 1

Work = 2Nm

Work = 2 joules

If the boy and his bike actually had a mass of 40 kg instead of 50 kg how much force would it take for him to accelerate at 0.8
klio [65]

Answer:

F = 32 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = forces applied [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

a = acceleration = 0.8 [m/s²]

Now replacing:

F=m*a\\F = 40*0.8\\F = 32 [N]
