Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to explain why gravity is greater on Earth than on Mercury.

Physics

Its because the attraction force that pulls objects together increases the heavier the objects are. Since Mercury is much smaller and consequently lighter than earth, it's attraction to an object on the planets surface would be less than if that same object were found on earth. So it's "gravity acceleration" would be less than earth's 9.8m/s^2

Sam is pulling a box up to the second story of his apartment via a string. The box weighs 53.3 kg and starts from rest on the gr
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

W = 1222.4 J = 1.22 KJ

Explanation:

The work done on an object is the product of the force applied on it and the displacement it covers as a result of this force. It must be noted that the component of displacement in the direction of force should only be used. Hence, the work can be calculated as:

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force Applied = 64 N

d = Distance Covered by Box = 19.1 m

θ = Angle between force and displacement = 0°

Therefore,

W = (64 N)(19.1 m)Cos 0°

<u>W = 1222.4 J = 1.22 KJ</u>

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2. 
<span>Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. </span>
<span>1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. </span>
<span>Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. </span>

<span>Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. </span>
<span>e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. </span>
<span>Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N</span>

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: This type of questions are called probing questions. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Probing questions are the type of questions that are asked to investigate an ongoing event. It helps the investigator to know more about what is happening and how to obtain conclusive decisions through the personal opinions of the respondent . For example from the question, Liza wanted to know more about the project updates which was held in the weekly meetings. She asked her employees questions like:

-Were there external factors that delayed your work?

-Did other coworkers get their part of the assignment to you on time?

- Do you need more help from me?".
