Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. According to Newton’s laws of motion, force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration, and the equation for force is F=m*a, where m is mass and a is acceleration. We can use this equation to solve for weight.

The watermelon is heaviest, followed by the soccer ball, golf ball and ping pong ball. How does the weight of an object relate t
Illusion [34]

Answer:

It doesn’t really relate

Explanation:

heavier load the parachute must be moving faster to match the downward force of the greater load

and approx terminal velocity when the parachute is open

velocity for Ping pong ball with parachute = 9m/s

velocity for Soccer ball with parachute = 15m/s

velocity for Golf ball with parachute =24m/s

velocity for Watermelon with parachute = 25m/s

so weight of an object doesn’t really realted how fast it falls with a parachute

Two locomotives approach each other on parallel tracks. Each have a speed of 95 km/h with respect to the ground. If they are ini
viva [34]
If they are both  traveling with the same speed that means that they will reach other in the middle of the line initially between them. In other word, each will have to travel the same amount before they reach other. 

Now you can calculate the time it takes for only one locomotive to travel half of the total distance between them, and that time is equal to the time you are looking for.

Use 
   t =  S1/2 / v

  where t-time, S-distance traveled , v-velocity

A block of mass m = 2.0 kg lies on a rough ramp that is inclined at an angle θ = 20oto the horizontal. A force F of magnitude 5.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a) 0.64 b) 2.17m/s^2 c) 8.668joules

Explanation:

The block was on the ramp, the ramp was inclined at 20degree. A force of 5N was acting horizontal to the but not parallel to the ramp,

Frictional force = horizontal component of the weight of the block along the ramp + the applied force since the block was just about move

Frictional force = mgsin20o + 5N = 6.71+5N = 11.71

The force of normal = the vertical component of the weight of the block =mgcos20o = 18.44

Coefficient of static friction = 11.71/18.44= 0.64

Remember that g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s^2) and m = mass (2kg)

b) coefficient of kinetic friction = frictional force/ normal force

Fr = 0.4* mgcos 20o = 7.375N

F due to motion = ma = total force - frictional force

Ma = 11.71 - 7.375 = 4.335

a= 4.335/2(mass of the block) = 2.17m/s^2

C) work done = net force *distance = 4.335*2= 8.67Joules
