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).

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

t=\frac{d}{s}

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s

t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}

t=3.6 \ s

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.

Consider two uniform solid spheres where both have the same diameter, but one has twice the mass of the other. how much larger i
egoroff_w [7]
<span>The moment of inertia of the large sphere will be twice that of the smaller sphere.
   The formula for the moment of inertia for a solid sphere is:
 I = (2/5)mr^2
 where
 I = moment of inertia
 m = mass
  r = radius

   Since both spheres have the same diameter, they also have the same radius, so the only change is their mass. And the moment of inertia is directly proportional to their mass as shown by the above formula. So the sphere with twice the mass will have twice the moment of inertia, or 2 times.</span>

Which of the following can only be a situation of increasing temperature?
Papessa [141]

Increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.

<h3>What is average kinetic energy of particles?</h3>

The average kinetic energy of particles is the energy possessed by particles due to their constant motion.

The constant motion of particles occurs due to the energy acquired by the particles, when the temperature of the particles increases, the average kinetic energy increases which in turn increases the speed of the particles.

Thus, we can conclude that, increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.

A box full of charged plastic balls sits on a table. The electric force exerted on a ball near one upper corner of the box has c
tatuchka [14]

We have that the values for F north, F east, F up are

  • F_N=1.09090909*10^{-5}
  • F_E=5.18181818*10^{-6}
  • F_E=2*10^{-6}

From the Question we are told that

electric force F_1 = 1.2 x 10^{-3} N(N)

electric force , F_2=5.7 x 10^{-4} N(E)

electric force , F_3=2.2 x 10^{-4} N (U)

charge on this ball one q_1= 110 nC.

charge on this ball two q_2= -50 nC.

Generally the equation for the F north  is mathematically given as

F_N=\frac{F_1}{q_1}\\\\F_N=\frac{ 1.2 * 10^{-3} )}{110}

F_N=1.09090909*10^{-5}

For F East

F_E=\frac{F_2}{q_1}\\\\F_E=\frac{5.7 x 10^-4 }{110}

F_E=5.18181818*10^{-6}

For F UP

F_U=\frac{F_3}{q_1}\\\\F_U=\frac{2.2 x 10^-4 }{110}

F_E=2*10^{-6}
