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>

Mrac [35]

Answer:

50 N/m

Explanation:

Elastic energy = kinetic energy

EE = KE

½ kx² = ½ mv²

½ k (4 m)² = ½ (8.0 kg) (10.0 m/s)²

k = 50 N/m

High-voltage power lines are a familiar sight throughout the country. The aluminum wire used for some of these lines has a cross
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

For resistance of a wire , the formula is as follows

R = ρ L / S

where ρ is specific resistance , L is length and S is cross sectional area

Given L = 14 000 m ,

S = 4.8 x 10⁻⁴ m²

specific resistance of aluminum = 2.8 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-meter

Putting the values in the formula

R = 2.8 x 10⁻⁸ x 14 x 10³ /  (4.8 x 10⁻⁴ )

R = 0.8167 ohm .

= .82 ohm .
