Isn't it "gravity" this would makes sense because grvaity difines weight
NARA [144]3 years ago
3 0

The "weight" of any object IS the force of <em>gravity</em> between the object and the Earth.

The force is always directed "down", because it's always directed toward the center of the Earth, and we call that direction "down" even though it's a different direction in every place.

The lesser the mass, the greater the acceleration for the given value of force. Why does this happen?
Tju [1.3M]
Newtons law states F=ma
so F/m=a
in addition it makes logical sense the lighter an object the easier it is to accelerate its velocity form 0 to some quantity

A girl is whirling a ball on a string around her head in
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The girl whirling the ball should let go off ball when the ball is at a position such that tangent to the circle is in the direction of the target.

the tangent at any point in a circular path indicates the direction of velocity at that point. And the moment when the centripetal force is removed the ball will follow the tangential path at that moment.

What was the voltage on the battery for the #2 series circuit with two light bulbs?A: 4 VB: 18 VC: 4.5 VD: 9 V
Ghella [55]

We are given a series circuit with two light bulbs. In this case, the light bulbs act as resistors in series and the total resistance is:

R_t=R_1+R_2

That is the sum of all the resistances in series in the circuit. To determine the voltage we can use Ohm's law:

V=IR

Where "R" is the total resistance and "I" is the current in the circuit. Replacing we get:

V=I(R_1+R_2)

Skylar travels 50 meters N and then goes 30 meters W before coming straight back south 20 meters. What distance did she travel?
lesya [120]

Answer:

100\ \text{meters}.

Explanation:

Distance Skylar traveled North is 50\ \text{meters}

Then she traveled 30\ \text{meters} Westward.

After which she traveled 20\ \text{meters} towards the South.

The total distance traveled would be the sum of the distances.

50+30+20=100\ \text{meters}

The distance traveled by Skylar was is 100\ \text{meters}.
