You mean like a box sitting on a table.

One force is the force of gravity, pulling downward on the box.

Now, you know that the forces acting on the box must be balanced, because
if they're not, then the box would be accelerating. But it's just sitting there, so
there must be some other force, just exactly the right strength and direction to
exactly cancel the force of gravity on the box, so that the net force on it is zero.

The other force is the force of the table pushing upward on the box. It's called
the "normal force".

A velocity-time graph is shown below: (2 points)

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

2m/s²

Explanation:

V=Vstart+at
rewrite that to find a so a=(V-Vstart)/t

part A of graph

a=(20m/s–0m/s)/5s
a=4m/s²

part B of graph

a=(0m/s–0m/s)/5s
a=0m/s²

the average between the two is both answers added divided by the number of answers

(4m/s²–0m/s²)/2
4m/s²/2
2m/s²

Which of the following is an example of acceleration?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth , a constant force is being applied on it which means it must has acceleration. Also the direction of satellite is always being changed when it is orbitting to there is always change in the velocity vector which means acceleration.

You can view in the attached diagram to understand how the velocity is being changed.

A sled drops 50 meters in height on a hill. The mass of the rider and sled is 70 kg and the sled is going 10 m/s at the bottom o

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 10.2 %

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70 kg

Height = 50 m

Velocity = 10 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the efficiency of energy conversion from potential to kinetic;

First of all, we would determine the potential energy;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 * 9.8 * 50

P.E = 34300 J

For the kinetic energy;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 70 * 10²

K.E = 35 * 100

K.E = 3500

Therefore, Input energy, I = 34300 J

Output energy, O = 3500 J

Next, we find the efficiency;

Efficiency = O/I * 100

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Efficiency = 3500/34300 * 100

Efficiency = 0.1020 * 100

Efficiency = 10.2 %

Find the ratio of the gravitational force between two planets if the masses of both planets are quadrupled but the distance betw

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The ratio of the new force over the original force is 16

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the gravitational force between two masses M1 and M2 separated a distance D:

$F_G=G\,\frac{M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}$

So now, if the masses M1 and M2 are quadrupled and the distance stays the same, the new force becomes:

$F'_G=G\,\frac{4M_1\,\,4M_2}{D^2}=G\,\frac{16\,\,M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}=16\,\,G\,\frac{M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}= 16\,\,F_G$

which is 16 times the original force.

So the ratio of the new force over the original force is 16
