A 4900 n gear box with a mass of 500kg falls to the ground. What is it’s acceleration due to gravity?

Physics

Lena [83]3 years ago

Answer:

9.8 m/s^2, towards the ground

Explanation:

For an object in free fall, the only force acting on it is the force of gravity. We can write it as

F=mg

where

F is called weight of the object

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

We can re-arrange the equation as

g=\frac{F}{m}

For the box in the problem, we know:

F = 4900 N

m = 500 kg

Therefore, we can find the value of g:

g=\frac{4900}{500}=9.8 m/s^2

And the direction is the same as the force of gravity (downward).

How does an atom change if all of its electrons are removed?
Alex
<span>The atom becomes positively charged.

When you add electrons to a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom, it has a negative change and is an anion. When you take away electrons from a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom- it becomes a positive atom, and is a cation.</span>

Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.

A runner is jogging in a straight line at a
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

13 km

Explanation:

The bird flies from the runner, to the finish line, and back to the runner.  We can write two equations for the distance it travels:

d = 7.8 km + 7.8 km − 4.9 km/hr × t

d = 24.5 km/hr × t

Solve for t in the second equation and substitute into the first:

t = d / 24.5

d = 7.8 + 7.8 − 4.9 (d / 24.5)

d = 15.6 − 0.2 d

1.2 d = 15.6

d = 13

The bird flies a cumulative distance of 13 km.
