An apple weighs at 1N. the net force on the apple when it is in free fall is?

Physics

The weight is the magnitude of the gravitational force between
the Earth and the apple.  There's no reason for the force to change
 just because the apple happens to be in motion.  If it weighs 1N on
the scale, then it weighs 1N while it's sailing over the fence, 1N on
the teacher's desk, and 1N while it's falling from the tree.

Answer:

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:

PE = EPE

m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²

Where:

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

k = spring constant.

x = compression distance

The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:

EPE =1/2 k · x²

EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J

Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h =  541.2 J

m =  541.2 J/ g · h

m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)

m = 16.6 kg

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.

You lift a 25-kg child 0.80 m, slowly carry him 10 m to the playroom, and finally set him back down 0.80 m onto the playroom flo
maksim [4K]

To solve this problem we will apply the work theorem which is expressed as the force applied to displace a body. Considering that body strength is equivalent to weight, we will make the following considerations

\text{Mass of the child} = m = 25kg

\text{Acceleration due to gravity} = g = 9.81m/s^2

\text{Height lifted} = h = 0.80m (Upward)

Work done to upward the object

W = mgh

W = (25)(9.81)(0.8)

W = 196.2J

Horizontal Force applied while carrying 10m,

F = 0N

W = 0J

Height descended in setting the child down

h' = -0.8m (Downwoard)

W = mgh'

W = (25)(9.81)(-0.80)

W = -196.2J

For full time, assuming that the total value of work is always expressed in terms of its symbol, it would be zero, since at first it performs the same work that is later complemented in a negative way.
