Hypothetically speaking, if an object were located at the center of the Earth, the gravitational force on that object due to the

surrounding Earth, assuming matter is uniformly distributed, would have which of the following values?
a) The force would be approximately the same value as if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
b) The force would be much greater than the value if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
c) The force would be somewhat less than the value if the object was on the surface of the Earth, but it would be greater than zero newtons.
d) The force would be zero newtons.

Answer:

D. ) The force would be zero newtons

Explanation:

Because

If you are at the center of the earth, gravity is zero because all the mass around you is pulling "up" (every direction there is up!)

So F=mg so if g is zero F is also zero

A person slaps her leg with her hand, which results in her hand coming to rest in a time interval of 2.65 ms from an initial spe
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is  3466.98 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Initial velocity of hand v₀ = 5.25 m/s

final velocity of hand v = 0 m/s

time interval t = 2.65 ms = 0.00265 s

mass of hand m = 1.75 kg

We calculate force on the hand F_{hand

using equation for impulse in momentum

F_{hand × t = m( v - v₀ )

we substitute

F_{hand × 0.00265  = 1.75( 0 - 5.25 )

F_{hand × 0.00265  = 1.75( - 5.25 )

F_{hand × 0.00265  = -9.1875

F_{hand = -9.1875 / 0.00265  

F_{hand = -3466.98 N

Next we determine force on the leg F_{leg

Using Newton's third law of motion

for every action, there is an equal opposite reaction;

so, F_{leg = - F_{hand

we substitute

F_{leg = - ( -3466.98 N )

F_{leg = 3466.98 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is  3466.98 N

A robot standing on a cliff shoots a ball upwards with an initial speed of 30 m/s. What is the height of the cliff given that th
valina [46]

Answer:

C 80 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 30 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t = 8 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (30 m/s) (8 s) + ½ (-10 m/s²) (8 s)²

Δy = -80 m

The ball lands 80 m below where it started.  So the height of the cliff is 80 m.

While playing football, Chris runs 4.5 m at 20⁰ south of west. If an opponent was trying to tackle him how far west and south wo
rewona [7]

Answer:

South = 1.5m

West =4.2m

Explanation:

Kindly see attached a rough draft of the situation

Step one

Given data

From the sketch the direction of the player is along the resultant of the triangle, corresponding to the Hypotenuse

Step two:

Hence for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

sin θ= opp/hyp

sin 20=x/4.5

x=sin 20*4.5

x=0.342*4.5

x= 1.5m

Also, for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

cos θ= adj/hyp

cos 20=y/4.5

y=cos 20*4.5

y=0.93*4.5

y= 4.2m

Which of the following is NOT an example of accelerated motion?
Anarel [89]
Accelerated motion  =  any change in speed or direction.

A.  No.  The airplane's speed is increasing.

B.  No.  The boulder's speed increases as it falls.

C.  No.  The speed of the ball decreases as it approaches the peak,
then it changes direction, begins to move downward, and its speed
increases steadily after that.

D.  Yes.  The cyclist's speed and direction are not changing.
