Gravitational force is a NON-CONTACT FORCE. Gravitational force acts on all bodies on the earth that have mass. The force which is exerted through weight acts on the center of gravity of the body. The force is directed towards the center of the earth. The weight of a body is the gravitational force exerted by the earth on the body.

The amount of energy that must be absorbed or lost to raise or lower the temperature of 1 g of liquid water by 1°c _____.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

4.2 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of a heat required to rise a unit mass of a substance through a temperature of 1 K

From specific heat capacity,

Q = cmΔt.............................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of energy absorbed or lost, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = Temperature rise.

Given: m = 1 g = 0.001 kg, Δt = 1 °C

Constant : c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.001×4200(1)

Q = 4.2 J.

Hence the energy absorbed or lost = 4.2 J

A 7 ft tall person is walking away from a 20 ft tall lamppost at a rate of 5 ft/sec. Assume the scenario can be modeled with rig
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the shadow length of a person is 2.692 ft/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Height of a person, H = 20 ft

Height of a person, h = 7 ft

Rate = 5 ft/s

Now,

From Fig.1:

b = person's distance from the lamp post

a = shadow length

Also, from the similarity of the triangles, we can write:

\frac{a + b}{20} = \frac{a}{7}

a = \frac{7}{13}b

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t t:

\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\frac{db}{dt}

Now, we know that:

Rate = \frac{db}{dt} = 5\ ft/s

Thus

\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\times 5 = 2.692\ ft/s

1.When you give one set of washers a downward push, does it move as easily as the other set? Does it stop before it reaches the
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:No, it doesn't move easily downward because it will try to resist the movement ,due to a resistance force of inertia that it possess at rest.

Explanation:when an object has higher or larger mass it tends to resist any motion given to it unlike the one with lower mass.

The larger the mass the more resistance force an object has.
