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

9. During an egg toss, a catcher must cushion the egg by maximizing the time it takes to stop the
Lorico [155]

Answer:

the impulse experienced by the egg is 0.053 kgm/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the egg, m = 60 g = 0.06 kg

initial velocity of the egg, u = 6 m/s

height moved by the egg, h = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Determine the final velocity of the egg as it moves upward;

v² = u² + 2(-g)h

v² = u² - 2gh

where;

v is the final velocity

-g is negative acceleration due gravity as it moves upward

v² = 6² - 2(9.8 x 0.5)

v² = 26.2

v = √26.2

v = 5.12 m/s

The impulse applied to the egg is the change in linear momentum;

J = ΔP

ΔP = mu - mv

ΔP = m(u - v)

ΔP = 0.06(6 - 5.12)

ΔP = 0.053 kgm/s

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the egg is 0.053 kgm/s.

These four surfaces are opaque; that is they reflect or absorb certain rays of light determine the color
masya89 [10]
In the first figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for green light, which is reflected: so, the surface will appear as green to our eyes, because green is the only color which is reflected by that surface.

Similarly, in the  second figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for blue, and so the surface will appear blue to our eyes.

In the third figure, the surface absorbs all colors, so it will appear black to our eyes (because no colors are reflected, and black=absence of colors).

In the fourth figure, all colors are reflected: this means the surface will appear white to our eyes (white= sum of all colors).
