Answer:

196 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is given by

$W=mg$

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration on the planet.

In this example, we have an object with mass m=20 kg, and the value of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is g=9.81 m/s^2, therefore if we use the above equation we find the weight of the cannonball:

$W=mg=(20 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=196 N$

3. An athlete makes a long jump and follows a projectile motion. Air resistance is negligible. Which one of the following statem

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The motion under the influence of gravity is called projectile motion.

The acceleration due to gravity is constant through out the motion and it is always acting downwards.

When an athlete jumps and follow the projectile path, it always have the same horizontal velocity as there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

Also he has the vertical acceleration constant which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and acts towards the center of earth.

Option (b) is correct.

The movement of tectonic plates can cause earthquakes. Some can be major and some can be minor. Both can affect non-earthquake proof buildings though
