Answer:

The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

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.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Final Speed of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson = 15.812 m/s

Explanation:

Let's start out with finding the force acting downwards because of the mass of 'The Rock':

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: 118kg x 9.81m/s = 1157.58 N

Now the problem also states that the kinetic friction of the desk in this problem is 370 N

Since the pulley is smooth, the weight of Dwayne Johnson being transferred fully, and pulls the desk with a force of 1157.58 N. The frictional force of the desk is resisting this motion by a force of 370 N. Subtracting both forces we get the resultant force on the desk to be: 1157.58 - 370 = 787.58 N

Now lets use F = ma to calculate for the acceleration of the desk:

787.58 = 63 x acceleration

acceleration = 12.501 m/s

Finally, we can use the motion equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

here u = 0 m/s (since initial speed of the desk is 0)

a = 12.501 m/s

and s = 10 m

Solving this we get:

v^2 - 0 = 2 * 12.501 * 10

v = 15.812 m/s

Since the desk and Mr. Dwayne Johnson are connected by a taught rope, they are travelling at the same speed. Thus, Dwayne also travels at            15.812 m/s when the desk reaches the window.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: 2.5 m/s and 6.25 m

Explanation:

u = 0

a = 0.5 m/s²

t = 5 s

v = u + at

=  0 + 0.5 × 5

= <u>2.5 m/s</u>

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 1/2 × 2.5 × 5

=<u> 6.25 m</u>

Which of the following best describes a substance in which the temperature remains constant while at the same time it is experie
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state

Explanation:

Latent Heat: Latent heat is the heat required to change the state of a substance without change in temperature. Latent heat is also known as hidden heat because the heat is not visible. The unit is Joules (J).

Latent heat is divided into two:

⇒ Latent Heat of fusion

⇒ Latent Heat of vaporization.

Latent Heat of fusion: This is the heat  energy required to convert a substance from its solid form to its liquid form without change in temperature. E.g (Ice) When ice is heated, its temperature rise steadily until a certain temperature is reached when the solid begins to melts.

Latent Heat of vaporization: This is the heat required to change a liquid substance to vapor without a change in temperature. The latent heat depend on the mass of the liquid and the nature of the liquid. E.g When water is heated from a known temperature  its boiling point (100°C) When more heat is supplied to its boiling temperature, it continue to boil without a change in temperature.

From The above, Latent heat brings about  a change of state of a substance at a steady temperature.

The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state

Sort the chemical equations based on the chemical reactions they represent.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Decomposition reactions are said to be those reactions in which a reactants breakdown into two or more products. The general reaction for decomposition reactions is as follow,

                                         ABC    →    A  +  B  +  C

Specific Examples are as,

                                Water    →     Hydrogen + Oxygen

                                2 H₂O    →           2 H₂     +      O₂

               Calcium carbonate    →     Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide

                            CaCO₃              →              CaO         +        CO₂

While, Synthetic reactions are said to be those reactions in which two or more reactants combine to form two or more products. The general reaction for synthetic reactions is as follow,

                                         A  +  B  +  C    →    ABC

Specific Examples are as,

                                  Iron + Oxygen     →     Iron Oxide

                                    2 Fe  +  3 O₂      →        2 Fe₂O₃

                          Sodium + Chlorine     →     Sodium chloride

                              2 Na  +       Cl₂        →            2 NaCl

                            Sulfur + Oxygen      →      Sulfur dioxide

                                  S    +    O₂            →             SO₂

                   Potassium + Chlorine      →      Potassium chloride

                            2 K     +     Cl₂            →              2 KCl
