The equal and opposite reaction to the gravitational force of the Earth pulling down on a man standing on the beach is the gravitational force of the man pulling up on the Earth. <em>(A)</em>

To put it in other words ... which should begin to blow your mind if you just take a moment to think about them ...

Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.

What net force would be necessary to cause a block of wood with a mass of 2.5 kg to accelerate at a rate of 3.0 m/s2
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>7.5 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 2.5 kg

acceleration = 3.0 m/s²

We have

force = 2.5 × 3.0 = 7.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.5 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

The thermal energy in a heat engine is used to move a piston. Which best describes why this is possible?
Natali [406]

Answer:

The increase in thermal energy results in an increase in pressure.

Explanation:

  • The increase in entropy is directly related to the increase in temperature. So the thermal energy in heat engine increases the temperature of that surrounding.
  • Higher temperature means the kinetic energy of particles is also higher, their vibration is increasing. So it increases the pressure (ideal gas law).
  • In this way the increment in the thermal energy in heat engine moves piston by increasing the pressure.
