Answer:

If gravity were stronger, houses and buildings would have to be more sturdy so they do not get crushed to the ground. If gravity were weaker, buildings and houses would have to be built stronger so they do not float away.

Hope this helps you!

If gravity where much weaker, then the houses wouldn’t need as much structural support, and then could be built as much more taller as they wouldn’t go through as much stress. and if gravity was stronger, buildings would need to be a lot more structurally sound and wouldn’tbe able to maintain a tall structure as the force of gravity would be too much for them

You stand on top a building 44 m tall with a water balloon. You drop the water balloon from rest. How fast is the balloon moving

Alecsey [184]

<h2>The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 0.5 x 44 = 22 m

Substituting

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 22

v² = 431.64

v = 20.78 m/s

Velocity at 22 m = 20.78 m/s

The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.95 6.95 m/s. The st

qwelly [4]

Answer:

18.1347 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-6.95^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=2.4619\ m$

Total height the ball falls is 2.4619+14.3 = 16.7619 m

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 16.7619+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=18.1347\ m/s$

The speed at which the stone reaches the ground is 18.1347 m/s

The time taken for an object to fall from a height of h m from the earth'fs surface is t s.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

B. Longer than t s,

Explanation:

Gravitational accln on earth is 9.8 m/s^2,

and one you provided as on moon is 1.6 m/s^2

that mean on moon gr. accl. is lesser!

now the time taken on earth will be lesser cuz from the same height if you drop the object from rest!

since accln on earth is higher,the object will attain higher velocity as compare to that of on moon!

Room's become bright at the day time although there is no bright sunlight in the rooms why

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The room become bright in the day by a process call scattering of light or Rayleigh scattering.

Explanation:

It is called Rayleigh scattering or scattering of light because Rayleigh scattering is the scattering if light or electromagnetic radiation by smaller particles which have radius of less than 110 nanometer in a medium and the wavelengths of the electromagnetic. Wave or light remain unchanged. The scattering of light occur in the day time in the room and this bring of brighten up of the room.

A 398-kg boat is sailing 14.0° north of east at a speed of 1.50 m/s. 23.0 s later, it is sailing 33.0° north of east at a speed

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent speed in vector form

First speed

v₁ = 1.5 cos 14 i + 1.5 sin 14 j

= 1.455 i + 0.363 j

v₂ = 4.4 cos 33 i + 4.4 sin 33 j

= 3.69 i + 2.39 j

v₂ - v₁

3.69 i + 2.39 j - 1.455 i - 0.363 j

= 2.235 i + 2.027 j

acceleration

= v₂ - v₁ / time

= ( 2.235 i + 2.027 j ) / 23

= .097 i + .088 j

force = mass x acceleration

= 398 x ( .097 i + .088 j )

= 38.6 i + 35.02 j

Magnitude of force F

F² = 38.6² + 35.02²

F = 52.11 N

Tan θ = 35.02 / 38.6

θ = 42° north of east.
