Answer:
4. The reading decreases because part of your weight is applied to the table and the table exerts a matching force on you that acts in the direction opposite to your weight.
Explanation:
When you push on anything, Newtons Third Law comes into effect: "when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction." So pretty much, the table you are putting some of your weight on is taking some of the downward force and in return the scale isn't going to push up with as much force.
I'm not the best at explaining, but im in physics right now and thats somewhat how my teacher explained it.
Answer:
The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.
Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the object from the Earth's centre
We notice that:
- g does not depend on the mass of the object
- g is inversely proportional to r
This means that if the distance of the object from the Earth's centre increases, g decreases. So, the correct option is
The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.
Answer:
a) Δx ≈ 8.4 m
b) v ≈ 6.1 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 1.5 m/s
a = 2.1 m/s²
t = 2.2 s
a) Find: Δx
Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δx = (1.5 m/s) (2.2 s) + ½ (2.1 m/s²) (2.2 s)²
Δx ≈ 8.4 m
b) Find: v
v = at + v₀
v = (2.1 m/s²) (2.2 s) + (1.5 m/s)
v ≈ 6.1 m/s
Power is defined as the rate at which the body is doing work:
Work is defined as displacement done by the force times that displacement:
We know that we need 62N to move the box, so when we apply this force along the path of 10m we have done:
of work.
Now we just divide that by 5s to get how much power is required:
