Answer

Hi,

The forces are; weight (gravity), Normal/centripetal force and friction. Force due to gravity is constant where as friction and centripetal are not.

Explanation

Weight is constant, given by the force of gravity on the object. The centripetal force is a function of the angles occurring between the velocity vector and the weight vector that is at right angle with the perpendicular line drawn from the surface. Friction is a function of the centripetal force thus it also varies.

Hope this helps!

Imagine how mercury might be different if it had the same mass as earth. Explain.

I believe if it were heavier with more mass, then the sun would pull it in and there would be no mercury. It might also be hotter.

A ball starts at rest and rolls down an inclined plane. The ball reaches 7.5 m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration?
just olya [345]

Answer:

a=2.5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly over time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The ball starts at rest (vo=0) and rolls down an inclined plane that makes it reach a speed of vf=7.5 m/s in t=3 seconds.

The acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{7.5-0}{3}

\boxed{a=2.5\ m/s^2}

Which term is defined by the force that moving, charged particles exert on one another?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravity: it is the force that is exerted between any objects with mass. It is the weakest of all forces, so it is only relevant at planetary scales. It is always attractive, and it has an infinite range.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between charged objects and between magnets (it is responsible for electric fields and magnetic fields). It is the 2nd strongest force, and it is the force that holds atoms in a molecule together. It can be attractive or repulsive, and it has an infinite range.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the strongest of all forces. It is responsible for holding the nucleons together inside the nucleus, and it is attractive. It has a very limited range (10^{-15}m), so it is relevant only at very small scales

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for radioactive decays and neutrino interactions. It also has a very short range (10^{-18} m

Looking at all these definitions, we see that the term that defines the force that acts between charged particles is the electromagnetic force.

What would happen if a proton were added to the nucleus of the atom? (Check all that apply)
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

It would become a different element.

Explanation:

When you change the number of protons i.e, add a proton in the nucleus of an atom, you will change the atom from one element to a different element and also positive charge of the atom also increased by 1.

For example, adding a proton to the nucleus of an atom of hydrogen creates an atom of helium.

So, we conclude that by adding a proton the atom will change from one element to another element.
