If gravity is the only force acting on you, why aren't you moving down right now?

Answer:

gravity holds you down, floors protect that

Explanation:

Answer: Because the force of gravity depends on the size of the planet, so a smaller planet will have less gravitational force than a larger planet. So our gravitational force is not as strong as a bigger planet so we can still stand up and jump normally but on a smaller planet we could jump higher and on a bigger planet, we could not even be able to jump at all.

what if l was standing and all of continent are coming together and becomes pangea.What will happen???
azamat

Answer:

not really

Explanation:

pangea took million of years to separate. Years by Years the continents move. for example The two continents are moving away from each other at the rate of about 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) per year. And there movent is due to the activity beneath the earths crust. The plates are moved by currents in the magma at the very surface of the earths mantle , which then in turn cause things like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Suppose that a comet has a very eccentric orbit that brings it quite close to the Sun at closest approach (perihelion) and beyon
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

16.63min

Explanation:

The question is about the period of the comet in its orbit.

To find the period you can use one of the Kepler's law:

T^2=\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3

T: period

G: Cavendish constant = 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2 kg^2

r: average distance = 1UA = 1.5*10^11m

M: mass of the sun = 1.99*10^30 kg

By replacing you obtain:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3}=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2}{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(1.99*10^{30}kg)}(1.496*10^8m)^3}\\\\T=997.9s\approx16.63min

the comet takes around 16.63min

In one cycle a heat engine absorbs 450 J from a high-temperature reservoir and expels 290 J to a low-temperature reservoir. If t
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

So the ratio will be \frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

Explanation:

We have given heat engine absorbs 450 joule from high temperature reservoir

So Q=450j

As the heat engine expels 290 j

So work done W = 290 J

We know that efficiency \eta =\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{290}{450}=0.6444

It is given that efficiency of the engine only 55 % of Carnot engine

So efficiency of Carnot engine =\frac{0.6444}{0.55}=1.171

Efficiency of Carnot engine is \eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

1.171 =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

slava [35]

Answer:

f=-1380N

Explanation:

A karate master wants to break a board by hitting the board swiftly with his hand. The master's hand has a mass of 0.30 kg, and as it strikes the board, his hand has a velocity of 23.3 m/s. The master contacts the board for 0.0050 seconds

.the concluding part to the question should be

What is the impact force (impulse) on the board?

solution

from the Newton's second law of motion which states that

the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the force applied

f=m(v-u)/t

f=0.3(0-23.3)/0.005

f=-1380N

f=force impact

m=mass of the karates master's hand

t=time for the impact

v=0m/s final velocity

u=initial velocity
