What's the weight of the pear ?

Weight = (mass) x (gravity) = (1 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 9.8 Newtons.

OK. We know there's a force of 9.8 Newtons acting downwards on the pear.

Is the pear accelerating ? No ! It's just laying there on the table.

If it's not accelerating, then we know that the net force on it must be zero.

So there must be ANOTHER force acting UPWARDS on it, to exactly

cancel out the downward force of its weight. THAT's the "normal" force ...

the upward force that the table exerts on the pear. It must also be 9.8N,

but UPwards, so that if you add it to the weight, the sum is zero.

Explain in details the concept of economic geography

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

In the words of Hartshorn and Alexander: “Economic Geography is the study of the spatial variation on the earth’s surface of activities related to producing, exchanging and consuming goods and services. Whenever possible the goal is to develop generalizations and theories to account for these spatial variations.”

A positive charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. How much work is performed or required in mov

Nitella [24]

Answer:

No work is performed or required in moving the positive charge from point A to point B.

Explanation:

Lets take

Q= Positive charge which move from point A to point B along

Voltage difference,ΔV =V₁ - V₂

The work done

W = Q . ΔV

Given that charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface.It means that voltage difference is zero.

ΔV = 0

W = Q . ΔV

W = Q x 0

W= 0 J

So work is zero.

A wildlife researcher is tracking a flock of geese. The geese fly 4.0 km due west, then turn toward the north by 40º and fly ano

Kobotan [32]

Wildlife researcher starts from a and then reaches b, he turns towards north 40 degree to move towards c.

Total displacement is ac

Total horizontal displacement = 4+4 cos40 =7.06 km

Total vertical displacement = 4 sin40 =2.57 km

Total displacement $= \sqrt{7.06^2+2.57^2}$ = 7.51 km

PLAESE ANSWER FAST!!!!! MAKE SURE IT"S RIGHT

pychu [463]

(if you have Q1: Carbon is found in: living animals and plants, oceans, rocks, atmosphere, and fossil fuels)

Q2: Humans are burning carbon and putting it into the atmosphere.

Q3: True

Q4: While carbon dioxide is in the air waiting to be reabsorbed it traps the sun's heat.

(and if you have Q5: In the last 250 years, the amount of carbon in the air has increased by 40 percent.)
