Verdich [7]3 years ago

5)

In physics, forces are interactions that are able to change the velocity of an object.

Force is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude and a direction.

The SI units of the force is the Newton (N).

Whenever an unbalanced force is applied to an object, the object experiences an acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

So, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied:

a=\frac{F}{m}

6)

In physics, arrows are used to represent vector quantities. Therefore, they are also used to represent forces.

In particular, when a vector quantity is represented by an arrowr:

- The length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the vector quantity

- The direction of the arrow corresponds to the direction of the vector quantity

Therefore, if a force is represented through an arrow:

- The length of the arrow shows the strength (magnitude) of the force

- The direction of the arrow shows the direction of the force

7)

As we said in part 5), the SI units of the force is the Newton (N).

We can rewrite the Newton in terms of fundamental units only. We can do it starting from the equation:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

- The mass is measured in kilograms (kg)

- The acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2)

Therefore, 1 N corresponds to:

[N]=[kg][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-2}]

B)

Gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass. See more explanations about gravity in part 4).

3)

Mass is a scalar quantity; it gives us a measure of the "amount of matter" contained in an object.

The SI unit of the mass is the kilogram (kg).

Being a scalar, mass has no direction, but only a magnitude.

Moreover, the mass is an intrinsec property of an object: therefore, it does not depend on the location of the object. So, an object has always the same mass, either it is on Earth or on another planet.

On the other hand, the force of gravity on an object depends on its location, so it changes.

4)

As we said in part 3), gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that  have mass.

The magnitude of the force of gravity between two objects is given by the Universal Law of gravitation:

F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

From the equation above, we observe that:

- all objects are attracted to one  another with a gravitational force that is proportional to the mass of the objects  and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

And so:

a. When the mass of one or both objects increases, the gravitational force between  the objects increases

b. When the distance between two objects increases, the attraction between the  objects decreases

Which type of relationship is formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the
Alina [70]

The type of relationship formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the seeds in a new location is COMENSALISM. It is an ecological interaction.

<h3>What is commensalism?</h3>

Commensalism is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism benefits (in this case, the tree)  and the other organism neither benefits nor harm (the megabat).

Mutualism is a type of ecological association in which both organisms benefit from such interaction.

Conversely, parasitism is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism benefits and the other organism is harmed.

Based on The MOHS hardness Scale, which mineral could be scratched by a penny but not by a fingernail
melomori [17]

The correct answer is B. Calcite

Explanation:

Mohs hardness scale indicates the hardness of minerals using a scale from 1 to 10 as well as defining the objects or tools that can be used to scratch the minerals. These two features of minerals are shown in the table of the image. About this, it is shown gypsum and talc can be scratched by just a fingernail, considering minerals with a hardness of 2.5 or below can be scratched by a fingernail. In the case of calcite that has a hardness of 3, this cannot be scratched by a fingernail, but it can be scratched by a penny, which works for minerals with a hardness of 3.5 or below. Thus, the correct answer is Calcite.

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.
ycow [4]

Answer:

Reactance

Explanation:

In an AC circuit, the capacitive reactance of a capacitor is given by:

X_C = \frac{1}{2 \pi f C}

where

f is the frequency of the AC current

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance of the capacitor tells somehow the "resistance" of the capacitor to the passage of current through it. In fact:

- When the frequency of the AC current is zero (this means, we are in regime of DC current), the reactance becomes infinite, and this is true because the capacitor does not let the current pass through it)

- When the frequency of the AC current tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero, and this is true because in this case the current changes direction so fast that the capacitor has not enough time to "block" the current, so the current almost no feels the presence of the capacitor.
