Answer:

Weight is a force.

Explanation:

Force acting on an object is defined in terms of mass and its acceleration. Its mathematical force is given by

F = ma

Weight of an object is force that the Earth exerts on an object. It can be given by the formula as follows :

W = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth

Hence, the correct option is (d).

Two bodies are falling with negligible air resistance, side by side, above a horizontal plane. If one of the bodies is given an

borishaifa [10]

Answer:a

Explanation:

Given

two bodies are falling with negligible air Resistance and one of the body is given a slight horizontal acceleration

since there is no change in vertical acceleration therefore time taken by both bodies is same irrespective of change in horizontal direction

suppose both start from rest from a height of h

time taken

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

The only difference is that body with horizontal acceleration will be some distance away from first

A grocery cart with a mass of 15 kg is pushed at constant speed along an aisle by a force fp = 12 n which acts at an angle of 17

Korolek [52]

Given:

Mass of cart: 15kg

Aisle length = 14m

Angle = 17° below the horizontal

Force fp = 12 N

So, the solution would be like this for this specific problem:

1) W(by applied force) = F(applied) x s x cosθ 
=>W(a) = 12 x 14 x cos17* = 160.66 J 

2) By F(net) = F(applied) - F(friction) 
=>As v = constant => a = 0 => F(net) = 0
=>F(applied) = F(friction)
=>W(friction) = -F(friction) x s
=>W(friction) = -F(applied) x s
=>W(f) = -12 x 14 x cos17* = -160.56 J 

3) 0, as the displacement is perpendicular to Force 

4) 0, as the displacement is perpendicular to Force

To add, the force that is applied to an object by a person or another object is called the applied force.

Why should a rain gauge be raised 30cm above the ground

Mrrafil [7]

Explanation:

The rain gauge is normally placed in the ground, leaving the top of the funnel above ground – about 30 cm above the ground so that it can collect water into the container or jar. ... Rain gauges should be placed in an open area where there are no buildings, trees, or other obstacles to block the rain.
