"What force causes weight?"
--Weight is caused by gravity. The weight of an object is determined between the gravitational force of the object and the Earth.

"How is weight affected as an object moves farther away from the center of the Earth?"
--As you travel away from the Earth's surface, your mass stays the same but your weight reduces as gravitational pull decreases.

Gravity affects weight of an object

Its weight reduces as it moves away from the center as gravity is strongest near the core and reduces as you move away

A factory line moves parts for an automobile at a constant speed of 0.22 m/s. How long does it take the parts to move 8.5 m alon
OleMash [197]

Answer: C. 39 s

Explanation:

We know the constant speed is 0.22 m/s. We have to get to 8.5 m. We divide <u>8.5 m by 0.22</u> = 38.6. After we estimate, 6 is greater than 5, so 39 s.

What is the sequence of energy transformations associated with a hydroelectric dam?
Hatshy [7]

Gravitational potential energy -> Kinetic energy -> Mechanical energy -> Electrical energy.

The water starts up (potential) and flows down (kinetic), the flowing water turns a big wheel (mechanical) which creates electricity (electrical).

Calculate the wavelengths of the first five emission lines of the Balmer series for hydrogen
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Balmer series in a hydrogen atom relates the possible electron transitions down to the n = 2 position to the wavelength of the emission that scientists observe. In quantum physics, when electrons transition between different energy levels around the atom (described by the principal quantum number, n) they either release or absorb a photon. The Balmer series describes the transitions from higher energy levels to the second energy level and the wavelengths of the emitted photons. You can calculate this using the Rydberg formula.

Give examples of not useful high friction
Tatiana [17]
Friction can be bad by being too strong or too weak. 

<span>Sometimes, when it is too strong, it decreases efficiency since some energy is wasted and turns to heat. Friction can also d</span><span>amage equipment/objects like when you slide it on the floor.
</span>
When friction is too weak, like for instance when there is black ice- our center of gravity is displaced too quickly and we can fall. Likewise, if there is a lot of slush on the ground, cars can slip and slide.
