How much force would you need to cause a 20 kilogram object to accelerate in a straight line

Physics

madam [21]4 years ago
7 0

Newton's 2nd law of motion says:

               Force  =  (mass) x (acceleration).

In order to accomplish the task described in the question,
you would need

           Force = (20 kilograms) x (the desired rate of acceleration) .

An object was dropped from the plane with 1000 km above the ground with a mass of 300 kg. Find the acceleration of the object ea
Oxana [17]

Answer:

9.8m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8m/s^2 regardless of the mass of the object. This means, in the absence of air resistance, both a 3000 kg object and a 300 kg will accelerate at the same rate of 9.8m/s^2 towards  earth.

The reason the acceleration due to gravity is the same for all masses is that by grace of nature, the inertial mass m of the object from F= ma  equals the gravitational mass m from F =G \dfrac{mM}{R^2}, resulting

ma=G\dfrac{mM}{R^2}

\boxed{a=G\dfrac{M}{R^2}}

which is the acceleration that only depends on the mass of earth and its radius, and not on the mass of the object.

Picture a ball traveling at a constant speed around the inside of a circular Structure. is the ball acceleration? Explain why?
baherus [9]
Yes. On a circular path, the direction of motion is constantly changing. Change of direction is acceleration, even at constant speed.

Which statement best describes the movement of electrical current when a capacitor is used in a circuit?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The discharge of a capacitor changes the direction of the current

Explanation:

Capacitor is used to store charges. Changing and discharging a capacitor changes the direction of the current.

When a capacitor is charging, current flows towards the positive plate and away from the negative plate. When the capacitor is discharging, current flows away from the positive and flows towards the negative plate, in the opposite direction. During these two processes (charging and discharging), it can be seen that the direction of the current is changed.

Therefore, the discharge of a capacitor changes the direction of the current
