padilas [110]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Solar radiation at frequencies of visible light passes through the atmosphere, heating the planet's surface, subsequently this energy is emitted in infrared thermal radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the greater the amount of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped in the earth, raising its global temperature.

An upward force of 32.6 N is applied via a string to lift a ball with a mass of 2.8 kg. (a) What is the gravitational force acti
Igoryamba

Answer:

a) Fg = -27.4 N

b) Fnet = 5.2 N

c) a = 1.9 m/s2

Explanation:

a)

  • There are two forces acting on the ball, one directed upward (assuming this direction as positive, along the y-axis) which is the tension on the string (lifting force), and another aimed downward, which is the attractive force due to gravity.
  • Applying the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to a mass close to the surface of the Earth (in this case the ball), we can take the acceleration due to gravity like a constant, that we call by convention g, equal to -9.8 m/s2.
  • So, we can write the following expression for Fg:

       F_{g} = m*g = 2.8 kg*(-9.8m/s2) = -27.4 N (1)

b)

  • The net force on the ball, will be just the difference between the lifting force (32.6 N) and the force due to gravity, Fg:

       F_{net} = T -F_{g} = 32.6 N - 27.4 N = 5.2 N  (2)

c)

  • According Newton's 2nd Law, the acceleration caused by a net force on a point mass (we can take the ball as one) is given by the following expression:

       a = \frac{F_{net} }{m} = \frac{5.2N}{2.8kg} = 1.9 m/s2  (3)

Look at the velocity versus time graph below. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the object after it travels for three
Elza [17]

Answer:

C. 12m

Explanation:

veocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}

from the graph v = 4m/s and t = 3 s

d = vt = 4 × 3 = 12 m
