In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr) 
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>

An object must move in the (same or different) direction as the force is being applied.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

only reason an object will move in a different direction to the net force on it is because of its prior momentum and it will always accelerate in the direction of the force if thats what u mean.. lol

The answer and how to do it?? Thanks
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

14 m/s²

Explanation:

Start with Newton's 2nd law: Fnet=ma, with F being force, m being mass, and a being acceleration. The applied forces on the left and right side of the block are equivalent, so they cancel out and are negligible. That way, you only have to worry about the y direction. Don't forget the force that gravity has the object. It appears to me that the object is falling, so there would be an additional force from going down from weight of the object. Weight is gravity (can be rounded to 10) x mass. Substitute 4N+weight in for Fnet and 1kg in for m.

(4N + 10 x 1kg)=(1kg)a

14/1=14, so the acceleration is 14 m/s²

10. Calculate the kinetic energy of a running back that has a mass of 80 kg and
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2560 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object given it's mass and velocity can be found by using the formula

KE =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question

m = 80 kg

v = 8 m/s

The kinetic energy is

KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 80 \times  {8}^{2}  \\  = 40 \times 64

We have the final answer as

<h3>2560 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
