Answer:

The object would weight 63 N on the Earth surface

Explanation:

We can use the general expression for the gravitational force between two objects to solve this problem, considering that in both cases, the mass of the Earth is the same. Notice as well that we know the gravitational force (weight) of the object at 3200 km from the Earth surface, which is (3200 + 6400 = 9600 km) from the center of the Earth:

F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\28\,\,N=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{9600000^2}

Now, if the body is on the surface of the Earth, its weight (w) would be:

F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\w=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{6400000^2}

Now we can divide term by term the two equations above, to cancel out common factors and end up with a simple proportion:

\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9600000^2}{6400000^2} \\\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9}{4} \\\\ \\w=\frac{9\,*\,28}{4}\,\,\,N\\w=63\,\,N \\

Compare the current in the 8-ohm resistors to the current in the 4-ohm resistors.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

a)   i₈ = 0.5 i₄,  b)   i₁₀ = 0.3 i₃,    i₁₀ = 0.8 i₈

Explanation:

For this exercise we use ohm's law

       V = i R

        i = V / R

we assume that the applied voltage is the same in all cases

let's find the current for each resistance

         

R = 4 Ω

         i₄ = V / 4

R = 8 Ω

         i₈ = V / 8

we look for the relationship between these two currents

         i₈ /i₄ = 4/8 = ½

         i₈ = 0.5 i₄

R = 3 Ω

        i₃ = V3

R = 10 Ω

         

        i₁₀ = V / 10

   

we look for relationships

       i₁₀ / 1₃ = 3/10

       i₁₀ = 0.3 i₃

       i₁₀ / 1₈ = 8/10

       i₁₀ = 0.8 i₈

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of
spin [16.1K]

The  final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where :

U_i is the initial potential energy, at the top

K_i is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

U_f is the final potential energy, at the bottom

K_f is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 2 m is the initial height

h_f=1.50 m is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

K_i = 0

Therefore we can solve the equation for K_f, the final kinetic energy of the ball:

K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J

The diagram below shows a 5.00-kilogram block
bixtya [17]

The name and strength of the force holding the block up is 50 N upward - Normal force.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the block, m = 5 kg</em>

The weight of the block acting downwards due to gravity is calculated as follows;

W = mg

where;

  • <em>g is acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²</em>

W = 5 x 10

W = 50 N <em>(</em><em>downwards</em><em>)</em>

Since the block is at rest, an a force equal to the weight of the block must be acting upwards. This force is known as normal reaction.

Fₙ = 50 N <em>(</em><em>upwards</em><em>)</em>

Thus, the name and strength of the force holding the block up is 50 N upward - Normal force.
