If a freely falling rock were equipped with a speedometer, by how much would itd speed readings increase with each second if it

were on a planet wreg=20m/s2?

" 20 m/s² " means that if gravity is the ONLY force on the object
(the object is in 'free fall'), then its speed increases by  20 m/s
every second.

That's the answer to your question.  Now, let me ask you
another one:

How does a speedometer tied to a falling rock work ?
How can it measure the rock's speed ?

Maybe one way would be to have a little tiny propeller on
the front of the speedometer, and it could measure how fast
the propeller is spinning as the rock falls through the air ?
Great idea.  But we already said the rock is in free-fall,
so there's no air resistance, we can't have any air, and
there's nothing to spin the propeller.

How would you do it ?  How can you measure the rock's speed ?

A woman exerts a constant horizontal force on a large box. As a result, the box moves across a horizontal floor at a constant sp
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:C

Explanation:

When a constant horizontal force is applied to the box, box started moving in the horizontal direction such that it moves with constant velocity v_0

Constant velocity implies that net force on the box is zero

i.e. there must be an opposing force which is equal to the applied force and friction force can serve that purpose.

So option c is the correct choice.

What type of ethic is life-centered and views humans as just one component life on Earth
katrin [286]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A anthropocentric 

B frontier 

C land

D biocentric


I think the correct answer is option A. It is anthropocentric the type of ethic that is life-centered and views humans as just one component life on Earth. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

faust18 [17]

Complete Question:

In the same configuration of the previous problem 3, four long straight wires are perpendicular to the page, and their cross sections form a square of edge length a = 13.5 cm. Each wire carries 7.50 A, and the currents are out of the page in wires 1 and 4 and into the page in wires 2 and 3.

a) Draw a diagram in a (x,y) plane of the four wires with wire 4 perpendicular to the origin. Indicate the current's directions.

b) Draw a diagram of all magnetic fields produced at the position of wire 3 by the other three currents.

c) Draw a diagram of all magnetic forces produced at the position of wire 3 by the other three currents.

d) What are magnitude and direction of the net magnetic force per meter of wire length on wire 3?

Answer:

force, 1.318 ₓ 10⁻⁴

direction, 18.435°

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2
