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

Physics

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 the suns energy contribute to the carbon cycle
ozzi

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Light energy from the sun  stimulates photosynthesis by green plants. One major component of the carbon cycle is the reduction of the carbon (IV) oxide content in the atmosphere by plants. Plants take in Carbon (IV) oxide to use during the process of making their own food. During this process light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and is used to convert carbon (IV) oxide and water to glucose.

This glucose is used during respiration by living organisms that give out carbon (IV) oxide. The cycle continues.

A track and field athlete is running forward with a javelin at a
rosijanka [135]

Explanation:

The relative velocity is the velocity of the athlete relative to the ground plus the velocity of the javelin relative to the athlete.

v = 4.2 m/s + 10.3 m/s

v = 14.5 m/s

Which statement is true for light passing into a medium that is less optically dense than the first medium through which it pass
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The index of refraction of the second medium is lower

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material indicates the magnitude of the optical density of a material. The index of refraction or the refractive index, n, are indices (ratio) of the speed of light through an optically dense medium relative to the speed of light through a vacuum.

The definition of the refractive index is the number of times light travelling through a medium would be slower than light travelling through vacuum

Therefore, the index of refraction of a second medium that is less optically dense than a first medium from which light originates and travels through it would be lower than the index of refraction of the first medium
