Answer:

(A) Force on the object will be 58.85 N

(B) Apparent weight will be equal to 57.21 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of Neptune m = 1026 kg

Radius R = 25000 Km

Time period = 16 hour

We know that 1 hour = 3600 sec

So 16 hour = 16×86400 = 57600 sec

Acceleration due to gravity at north pole of Neptune g=10.7m/sec^2

(A) Mass of the object m = 5.5 kg

So gravitational force on the object F_g=mg=5.5\times 10.7=58.85N

(B) Velocity will be equal to v=\frac{2\pi R}{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times25000\times 1000}{57600}=2725.694m/sec

Apparent weight of the object will be equal to w=f_g-\frac{mv^2}{r}

W=58.85-\frac{5.5\times (2725.694)^2}{25000\times 1000}=57.21N

Use Newton's laws to explain why a falling object dropped from a 57m tower accelerates initially but then reaches constant veloc
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

At the point of dropping the object, by Newton's first law due to gravitational force F_g = m × g, accelerates

By Newton's Second law the object reaches impacts on the air with the gravitational force resulting in changing momentum of m×(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)

As the velocity increases, the rate of change of momentum becomes equivalent to the gravitational force and by Newton's third law, the action action and reaction are equal and opposite hence they cancel each other out

The body then moves at a constant uniform motion down according to Newton's first law

Explanation:

At the point the object of mass, m, is dropped from the height of the tower, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force such that the object has an acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the gravitational force is therefore = m × g

As the speed of the object increases while the object is falling with the gravitational acceleration the rate at which the object cuts through layers of air which (by Newton's first law of motion, are at rest ) has some buoyancy effect also increases therefore, the object is constantly increasingly changing the momentum of the air which by Newton's second law results, at an high enough velocity, and by Newton's third law, in a force equal to the applied gravitational force

Therefore, the force of the air drag becomes equal to the gravitational force, cancelling each other out and the object then moves according to Newton;s first law, in uniform motion of a constant speed while still falling down.

How does the molecular structure of a water molecule affect its polarity?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.
