The force of gravity pulls down on your school with a total force of 400,000 newtons. The force of gravity pulling down on your

school would be exactly twice as much if your school: a Had twice as much mass b Was twice as tall c Had twice as much volume d Covered twice as much area pleaseeee help

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Force of gravity can be expressed as:

F = GMM/R^2

Where

F = gravitational force

M = mass

R = distance

Also, W = mg

From the above equation, we can deduce that force of gravity actually depends on mass and not volume.

The correct answer is therefore A.

Had twice as much mass

Therefore, the force of gravity pulls down on your school with a total force of 400,000 newtons. The force of gravity pulling down on your school would be exactly twice as much if your school Had twice as much mass

Two boxes sit side by side on a smooth horizontal surface. The lighter box 5.2 kg, the heavier box has a mass of 7.4kg (a) find
Paladinen [302]

OK.  So you're pushing on the small box, and on the other side of it, the small
box is pushing on the big box. So you're actually pushing both of them.

-- The total mass that you're pushing is (5.2 + 7.4) = 12.6 kg.

-- You're pushing it with 5.0N of force.

-- Acceleration of the whole thing = (force)/(mass) = 5/12.6 = <em>0.397 m/s²</em> (rounded)

-- Both boxes accelerate at the same rate. So the box farther away from you ...
the big one, with 7.4 kg of mass, accelerates at the same rate.

The force on it to make it accelerate is (mass) x (acceleration) =

                                                              (7.4 kg) x (5/12.6 m/s²) =  <em>2.936 N.</em>

The only force on the big box comes from the small box, pushing it from behind. 
So that same  <em>2.936N</em>  must be the contact force between the boxes.

Identify each statement that describes a benefit of the scientific method. (Select all choices that apply)
Alecsey [184]

The statements that describe a benefit of the scientific method are as follows:

  • It gives scientists a standardized way to approach a problem.
  • It reduces bias and judgment from personal experiences.
  • It gives scientists a common vocabulary for sharing information.

Thus, the correct options are B, C, and D.

<h3>What is the Scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method may be defined as a strategy of research in which a problem is recognized, relevant data is collected, a conjecture is composed of this data, and the assumption is empirically tested to determine the outcome of particular research.

The scientific method never explains or provides an answer to any question immediately because it consists of a scripted format with certain parameters.

The scientific method uses the identical vocabulary for sharing information with one another in particular terminology.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Masses are stacked on top of the block until the top of the block is level with the waterline. This requires 20 g of mass. What
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Mass of the wooden Block is 20g.

Explanation:

The buoyant force equation will be used here

Buoyant Force= ρ*g*1/2V Here density used is of water

m*g= ρ*g*1/2V

Simplifying the above equation

2m= ρ*V Eq-1

Also we know from the question that

ρ*V = m + 0.020 Eq-2 ( Density = (Mass+20g)/Volume )

Equating Eq-1 & Eq-2 we get

2m = m+0.020

m = 0.020kg

m = 20g

A 2 kg object with a weight of 20 N is being pulled up by a rope with a tension of 12N what is the acceleration of the object
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 2 kg

weigh of the object, W = 20 N

tension on the rope, T = 12 N

The acceleration of the object is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

T = F + W

T = ma + W

ma = T - W

a = \frac{T-W}{m} \\\\a = \frac{12 - 20}{2} \\\\a = -4 \ m/s^2 (the negative sign indicates deceleration of the object)

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into --------<br> energy.
pickupchik [31]

The correct answer to the question is :  Electric energy

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we have an electric generator.

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the function of generator.

The generator is attached to the turbine. When the turbine rotates, the generator also starts rotating with it. Thanks to electromagnetic induction, the electricity is produced in the coil attached to the generator when it rotates.

Hence, from above, it is obvious that kinetic energy is converted into electric energy.
