Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Elastic potential energy = 5.04 J

Explanation:

Given that

Extension e = 18 cm = 0.18 m

Force F = 56N

Elastic potential energy = 1/2Fe

Elastic Potential energy = 1/2 ×56×0.18

Elastic potential energy = 5.04 J

The gravitational force between two objects has a magnitude of F. If both masses were doubled and the distance between them doub
Fofino [41]

Answer:

F' = F

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects can be given by Newton's Gravitational Law as follows:

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

where,

F = Force of attraction

G = Universal gravitational costant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = distance between objects

Now, if the masses and the distance between them is doubled:

F' = \frac{G(2m_1)(2m_2)}{(2r)^2}\\\\F' = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

<u>F' = F</u>

Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher (b) lower, or (c)
frez [133]

Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of “Applications of Newton’s Laws”?
Shkiper50 [21]

 

Newton's three forces, normal, tension and friction, are present in a surprising number of physical situations

Newton's Laws, that describe the relationship between an obejct and the forces acting upon it, apply in almost every physical situation, from quantum mechanics to electricity.

The correct answer is:

Newton’s laws can explain the forces that occur between objects every day

Consider a 4-m-long, 4-m-wide, and 1.5-m-high above-the-ground swimming pool that is filled with water to the rim. (a) Determine
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

44100 N

Explanation:

Each wall will have dimension of 4 m x 1.5 m

Whole force will act on central point of wall situated at a depth of 1.5 /2 = .75m

pressure at CM = h d g , h = .75 , d ( density of water = 10³ )

pressure at CM = .75 x 10³ x 9.8

= 7350 N / m²

Total force on each wall

= pressure x area

= 7350 x 4 x 1.5

= 44100 N Ans

b ) If h = 1.5 x 2 = 3

Pressure = hdg

1.5 x 10³ x 9.8

= 14700 N / m²

Force

= pressure x area

14700 x 3 x 4

= 176400 N

Which is 4 times 44100 N

So force will quadruple.

It is so because both area and height have become twice.
