Answer:

The force of gravity is acting on the acorn.

A frictional drag force is acting on the acorn.

The net force on the acorn is less than the force of gravity.

Explanation:

The force of gravity is acting on the acorn is in vertically downwards direction.

A frictional drag force is acting on the acorn is in vertically upwards direction.

The net force on the acorn is given by

Net force = Force of gravity - Frictional drag force

It is always less than the force of gravity.

Write down the principal of lever​
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

A lever is a simple machine that changes the magnitude and direction of the force applied to move an object. Minimizes the force needed to lift the object.

By means of the following image, we can see the principle of operation of a lever.

The load can be moved thanks to the force multiplied by the distance to the fulcrum.

Of the planets with atmospheres, which is the warmest?<br> a. Venusb. Earthc. Marsd. Jupiter
tangare [24]

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is full of gases that move at high speeds in giant eddies. Its atmosphere consists mostly of gases such as hydrogen that generate a temperature fluctuation of around 128K.

On Earth, due to the protection of the Ozone Layer and the presence of Nitrogen and Oxygen, the temperature fluctuates by an average of 300K.

In the case of Mars, its atmosphere is thin, mostly composed of Carbon Dioxide and Diatomic Nitrogen, which allow a temperature oscillation of 210K.

In contrast, the atmosphere of Venus is thick and is composed of carbon dioxide that does not allow the sun's rays to escape, generating an extreme 'greenhouse effect' with temperatures ranging from 737K,

Correct Answer is A.

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal
Setler [38]

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 3 kg

swing in vertical circle with radius = 2 m

   work done by the gravity = ?          

   work done by the tension = ?            

Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh            

 Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m                                                                

Work done by the gravity =- 3 \times 9.8 \times 4

                                           = -117.6 J                  

work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J            

Work done by tension will be equal to zero.        

Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity

work done by tension is equal to 0 J

How do you convert mass to weight and visa versa
Darina [25.2K]
To change from mass to weight is Fw = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N. To change from weight to mass divide by gravity (9.8 m/s^2).
