By Newton's second law of motion, we know that the resultant force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body and directly proportional to its acceleration. In system international (SI) units, the value of the constant of proportionality constant is 1. Therefore, the equation for Newton's second law of motion becomes: F = ma, where F is the resultant force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration of the object. Substituting the values of m and a into this formula, we get the result: F = 12 x 4 = 48. The SI unit for force is the Newton; therefore, the answer is 48 Newtons.

Recall the topography of the Sierra Nevada Mountains east of California's central valley. Which of the following locations would

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3. western slope

Explanation:

If we investigate the physical features (such as natural and artificial features) of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located at the California's central valley eastern part, the western slope has the highest value of the precipitation level yearly. This is due to the location of the slope and the relevant conditions such as temperature and humidity.

Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth due to the Moon.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

We know that the gravity on the surface of the moon is,

$g'=\frac{g}{6}$

$g'=1.63\ m.s^{-2}$

Gravity at a height h above the surface of the moon will be given as:

$g'_h=\frac{G.m}{(r+h)^2}$ ..........................(1)

where:

G = universal gravitational constant

m = mass of the moon

r = radius of moon

We have:

$G=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ m^3.s^{-2}.kg^{-1}$

$m=7.35\times 10^{22}\ kg$

$r=1.74\times 10^6\ m$

$h=384.4\times 10^6\ m$ is the distance between the surface of the earth and the moon.

Now put the respective values in eq. (1)

$g'_h=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{(1.74\times 10^6+384.4\times 10^6)^2}$

$g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2}$ is the gravity on the moon the earth-surface.

The efficiency of a screw is low because of _____.

AfilCa [17]

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the second option. A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. The efficiency of a screw is low because there is more input than output. In other words, it is because of friction. Hope this answer helps.
