<u>False, </u>

A build up of positive charge builds up on the ground under the cloud, attracted to the negative charge in the cloud. The earth's positive charge concentrates to anything that sticks up - trees, lightning conductors,

A boy with a mouse is 80 kg stands on a scale in an ascending elevator with an acceleration of 3 m/s What is the resultant upwar

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Upward force on the boy will be 1024 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the boy m = 80 kg

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

It is given that elevator is ascending with acceleration of $3m/sec^2$

So net acceleration on the boy = 9.8+3 = 12.8 $m/sec^2$ ( As the car elevator is moving ascending )

So upward force on the boy will be equal to F = m(g+a)

So $F=80\times 12.8=1024N$

So upward force on the boy will be 1024 N

Mazyrski [523]

<h3><u>Answers;</u></h3>

Antarctica and Greenland

Present day glaciers are found primarily in <em><u>Antarctica and Greenland</u></em>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>The two major ice sheets that exists today are found primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. Ice sheets are large masses of glacial ice that are also known as continental glaciers.</u></em>
Most ice in Antarctica and Greenland spill out into the ocean from a few spots. The Antarctica and Greenland ice sheets combined comprise more than 99 percent of freshwater ice found on Earth.

A 126- kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.70 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1800-kg space capsul

jeka94

The change in the speed of the space capsule will be -0.189 m/s.

The average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the astronaut, $m_a$ = 126 kg

Speed he acquires, $v_{a}$ = 2.70 m/s

Mass of the space capsule, $m_{c}$ = 1800kg

The initial momentum of the astronaut-capsule system is zero due to rest.

$P_f = m_av_a + m_cv_c$

$P_I$ = 0

$m_av_a + m_cv_c = 0$

$v_c =\frac{- m_a v_a}{m_c}}\\\\$

$= \frac{126* 2.70}{1800}$

$= - 0.189$ m/s

Therefore,

According, to the impulse-momentum theorem;

FΔt = ΔP

ΔP = m Δv

ΔP = 126×2.70

= 340.2 kgm/sec

t is time interval = 0.600s

F = ΔP/Δt

F = 340.2/0.600

= 567 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The Kinetic Energy of the astronaut;

K.E = $\frac{1}{2} m v^2$

$= \frac{1}{2}$ × 126 × $(2.70) ^2$

= 459.27 J

The Kinetic Energy of the capsule;

K.E = $\frac{1}{2} m v^2$

= $\frac{1}{2}$ ×1800× $(0.189) ^2$

= 32.14 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

The force of Earth's gravity on a capsule in space will lessen as it moves farther away. If the capsule moves to twice its dista

Bess [88]

Answer: One quarter of the force

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force $F$ exerted between two bodies of masses $m1$ and $m2$ and separated by a distance $r$ is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:
