The force of gravity on an object varies directly with its mass. The constant of variation due to gravity is 32.2 feet per secon
2 answers:
<h2>Answer: F=32.2m</h2>
Explanation:
According Newton's 2nd Law of Motion the force is directly proportional to the mass
and to the acceleration
of a body:
(1)
When we talk about the force of gravity on an object (the weight) the constant acceleration is due gravity, this means:
(2)
Substituting (2) in (1):
(3)
This means the equation that best represents the force on an object due to gravity according to its mass, among the given options is:

force applied due to earth on the apple is given as
given that
m = 0.37 kg
a = 9.8 m/s^2
now we have
now as per Newton's III law equal and opposite force is applied on earth
so now we can find acceleration of Earth using same equation as we used above
here we know that
m = mass of earth
F = 3.63 N
so acceleration of earth is very small and given by above value
Answer:
Part A;
he mass of the object, m = 2 kg
The initial speed of the object, u = 3 m/s east
The final speed of the object, v = 7 m/s west
The initial kinetic energy of the object = 1/2 × m × u² = 1/2 × 2 × 3² = 9 Joules
The final kinetic energy of the object = 1/2 × m × v² = 1/2 × 2 × 7² = 49 Joules
Based on the change in the momentum produced by the force which changes the direction of the object, we add the two energy quantities to get the total change in energy as follows;
The change in kinetic energy = 9 J + 49 J = 58 J
The statement is wrong because the change in momentum brought about by the force should be included when finding the the total change in kinetic energy of the object during the 5 seconds period
Part B;
The kinetic energy, K. E. = 1/2 × m × v²
The kinetic energy of the car A = 1/2 × 1000 × 6² = 18,000 J
The kinetic energy of the car B = 1/2 × 1600 × 8² = 51,200 J
The kinetic energy of the car C = 1/2 × 1200 × 8² = 38,400 J
The kinetic energy of the car D = 1/2 × 1600 × 4² = 12,800 J
Given that work required = Force × Distance, and the distance, is constant, we have;
The force required is directly proportional to the energy kinetic energy of the car that is to be stopped
Therefore, we have;
B = 1, C = 2, A = 3, and D = 4
The work needed to stop the car, W = The strength of the applied force, F × The given constant distance to stop, d
∴ W ∝ F.
