The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the mass of the object times acceleration due to gravity.  

F = ma
4.9N = m (9.8 m/s^2), note that N (newtons) = kg-m/s^2
<u>m = 0.5 kg</u>
<u>The mass of the object is 0.5kg.</u>

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 7m/s

Explanation:

M1=8kg,  V1 =10m/s , M2=2kg , V2=-5m/s

initial momentum before collison

m1v1+m2v2

=8×10 +2×(-5)  =80-10  = 70kg m/s

final momentum after collison

=(m1+m2)×v

=(8+2)×v

=10v

According to the law of conversion of momentum

initial momentum =final momentum

70=10v

10v=70

v=70/10

v=7m/s

1. As you get ready for bed, you roll up one of your socks into a tight ball and toss it into the laundry
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

When you toss a rolled up sock across the room, it travels faster as it becomes round and has more weight added on it and this causes the sock to travel in the direction you wish and this gives you a high chance of the sock going straight into the laundry basket, no matter how far away you are.

On the other hand, throwing a sock without rolling it up will cause the sock to just flat down as you throw it. It will travel at a low speed because it has no weight on it since it is flat, and if you try to throw it, it will atleast land 21 cm away from you. About a 0% chance of it getting in the basket.

Hope this helped! =>

The Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios theme park drops 25.6 m straight down essentially from rest. Find the time for the d
ankoles [38]

Answer:

V=22.4m/s;T=2.29s

Explanation:

We will use two formulas in order to solve this problem. To determine the velocity at the bottom we can use potential and kinetic energy to solve for the velocity and use the uniformly accelerated displacement formula:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\\\X= V_{0}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}

Solving for velocity using equation 1:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\\\gh=\frac{v^{2}}{2}\\\\\sqrt{2gh}=v\\\\v=\sqrt{2*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}*25.6m}=22.4\frac{m}{s}

Solving for time in equation 2:

-25.6m = 0\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}}{2}\\\\-51.2m=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{51.2m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}=2.29s
