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

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).

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.

Explanation:

A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.

Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.

When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.

The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

4. Downward and its value is constant

Explanation:

As this is a case of projectile motion, we use the reference frame where upward direction to be positive for y, and in the same way to be negative in the downward direction. On another hand, we have that gravity is always acting this means that gravitational acceleration g is directed downward constantly over the dart not only during the upward but also during the downward part of the trajectory. And it is ruled by the following equations.

For the x-axis

v_{x}=v_{0}cos(45\°)=constant

x=(v_{0}cos(45\°))t

For the y-axis

v_{y}=v_{0}sin(45\°)-gt

y=v_{0}sin(45\°)t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}

Where v_{0}, is the initial velocity.

A spring stretches from an initial height of 5 cm to a final stretch of 10 cm. the spring constant is 800 n/m.How much work was
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

.

Explanation:

F = kx so k = 800/((10-5)/100) = 16000 N/m

W = 1/2 kx^2 = 1/2 * 16000 * .05^2 = 20 J.

(sorry if it's wrong)
