A rock falls from a vertical cliff that is 4.0 m tall and experiences no significant air resistance as it falls. At what speed w

Answer:

About 6.26m/s

Explanation:

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Divide both sides by mass:

gh=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2

Since the point of equality of kinetic and potential energy will be halfway down the cliff, height will be 4/2=2 meters.

(9.8)(2)=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2 \\\\v^2=39.4 \\\\v\approx 6.26m/s

Hope this helps!

Identical isolated conducting spheres 1 and 2 have equal charges and are separated by a distance that is large compared with the
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

F = 0.1575 N

Explanation:

When the third sphere touches the first sphere, the charge is distributed between both spheres, then now the first sphere has only half of his original charge.

In this moment then

Sphere one has a charge = Q/2

Sphere three has a charge = Q/2

Now when the third sphere touches the second sphere again the charge is distributed in a manner that both sphere has the same charge.

How the total charge is Q = Q/2 + Q = 3/2Q, when the spheres are separated each one has 3/4Q

Sphere two has a charge = 3/4Q

Sphere three has a charge = 3/4Q

The electrostatic force that acts on sphere 2 due to sphere 1 is:

F = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2} }{r^{2} }

F= \frac{K(Q/2)(3Q/4)}{r^{2} }

how \frac{KQ^{2} }{r^{2} } = 0.42

Then

F = \frac{0.42*3}{8}

F = 0.1575 N

PLEASE HELP. GRAVITY QUESTION, WRITTEN RESPONSE.
Rina8888 [55]

1) Forces acting on your body: force of gravity and normal reaction

2) Due to Newton's second law, N = mg

Explanation:

1)

When you sit on the computer, there are only two forces acting on you:

  • The force of gravity, acting downward, of magnitude W=mg, where m is your mass and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, downward
  • The normal reaction exerted by the chair on you, N, acting upward

Your body is in equilibrium (it doesn't move), this means that the two forces balance each other, therefore:

N-mg=0\\N=mg

2)

We can now apply Newton's second law of motion to this situation; this law states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration. Mathematically,

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this situation, the net force is

\sum F = N-mg

So the equation becomes

N-mg=ma

However, we observe that your body is at rest; therefore, the acceleration is zero:

a = 0

And therefore,

N-mg=0\\N=mg

what is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun? express your answer in newtons.
Alborosie

The gravitational force the sun experiences from the earth is 3.48×10²²N, which is exactly the same as the force the sun experiences from the earth.

  • Gravity is a force that develops as a result of the attraction between mass-containing objects. The mass of the object has a direct relationship to the strength of this attraction. r equals the separation of two objects.

F = G (M₁M₂)/r²

Where, F  the gravitational force

G=6.67×10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻² gravitational constant

M₁=5.98×10²⁴kg  mass of earth

M₂= 1.99×10³⁰ kg the mass of the sun

r =15×10¹⁰ m is the distance between sun and earth

Putting all the values in above equation,

F = 6.67×10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻²(5.98×10²⁴kg 1.99×10³⁰ kg)/15×10¹⁰ m

On solving the above equation we get,

F = 3.48×10²²N

As the population in a small town grows, a new water treatment plant is built. The plant is built on a local river where it can
abruzzese [7]

Treatment water from the plant would affects the communities present in the downstream of the river.

Answer: Option (a)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wastewater treatment plant is a process used to treat the water that flows from the rivers, streams, and lakes.This plant removes the dust, sand, sediments present in the river water.

When this treated water is released into the downriver stream, it affects the health of aquatic organisms present in that stream.Use of chemicals in treating the wastewater may cause genetic problems to the communities present in that region.

It also causes air pollution and more energy is needed for the treatment process and thus affects the ecosystem.
