Which is greater the attraction of the earth for 1 kg of aluminum or aluminum or attraction of 1kg of aluminum for the earth?

1 answer:

8 0

Those forces are exactly equal.

Gravity always works as a pair of <em>EQUAL</em> forces ... one in each direction
between two masses. Your weight on the Earth is exactly the same as
the Earth's weight on you.

A.) Determine the work done by Zach on the bull.

tresset_1 [31]

Explanation:

The unit of work done is in Joules

Work done is a physical quantity that is defined as the force applied to move a body through a particular distance.

Work is only done when the force applied moves a body through a distance.

Work done = Force x distance

The maximum work is done when the force is parallel to the distance direction.

The minimum work is done when the force is at an angle of 90° to the distance direction.

So to solve this problem;

multiply the force applied by Zack and distance through which the bull was pulled.

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) $W_c=127.008 J$

(b) $W_g=148.176 J$

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) $v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg

initial velocity of the block, $u=0 m.s^{-1}$

constant downward acceleration, $a_d= \frac{g}{7}$

$\Rightarrow$ That a constant upward acceleration of $\frac{6g}{7}$ is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴ $a=- \frac{6g}{7}$

height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

$F_c= M\times a$

$F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}$

$F_c=-30.24 N$

∴Work by the cord on the block,

$W_c= F_c\times d$

$W_c= -30.24\times 4.2$

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

$W_c=-127.008 J$

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

$F_g= M.g$

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

$F_g=3.6\times 9.8$

$F_g=35.28 N$

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

$W_g=F_g\times d$

$W_g=35.28\times 4.2$

$W_g=148.176 J$

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

$K.E.= W_g+W_c$

$K.E.=148.176-127.008$

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d$

putting the respective values:

$v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }$

$v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$ is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.

Where does matter come from?

Pie

The Big Bang theory is matter and energy in the universe exploded out from one point. As the explosion occurred, energy and matter spread outward and formed the universe. The matter from the Big Bang formed clouds of gas.
