When you drop a 0.42 kg apple, Earth exerts a force on it that accelerates it at 9.8 m/s 2 toward the earth’s surface. According

to Newton’s third law, the apple must exert an equal but opposite force on Earth. If the mass of the earth 5.98 × 1024 kg, what is the magnitude of the earth’s acceleration toward the apple? Answer in units of m/s 2 .

Answer:

6.9×10⁻²⁵ m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

F = ma

Force exerted on apple

F=0.42\times 9.8\\\Rightarrow F=4.116\ N

From Newton's third law the opposite force would be the same but the mass is different which means the acceleration would be different

a=\frac{F}{M}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{4.116}{5.98\times 10^{24}}\\\Rightarrow a=6.9\times 10^{-25}\ m/s^2

The magnitude of the earth’s acceleration toward the apple is 6.9×10⁻²⁵ m/s²

Answer:

a = 6.97 × 10⁻²⁵ m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass = 0.42 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

mass of the earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

magnitude of earth acceleration = ?

F = m g

F = 0.42 × 9.8

F = 4.17 N

according to newtons third law Force exerted by the earth will be equal to force exerted by apple

m a = 4.17 N

a = \dfrac{4.17}{5.98 \times 10^{24}}

a = 0.697 × 10⁻²⁴ m/s²

a = 6.97 × 10⁻²⁵ m/s²

Hence, acceleration of earth toward apple is equal to  a = 6.97 × 10⁻²⁵ m/s²

A 1kg box is pushed on a flat surface that is 250m long. The box is initially at rest and then pushed with a constant Net force
sasho [114]

Answer:

C) 50 m/s

Explanation:

With the given information we can calculate the acceleration using the force and mass of the box.

Newton's 2nd Law: F = ma

  • 5 N = 1 kg * a
  • a = 5 m/s²

List out known variables:

  • v₀ = 0 m/s
  • a = 5 m/s²
  • v = ?
  • Δx = 250 m

Looking at the constant acceleration kinematic equations, we see that this one contains all four variables:

  • v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute known values into the equation and solve for v.

  • v² = (0)² + 2(5)(250)
  • v² = 2500
  • v = 50 m/s

The final velocity of the box is C) 50 m/s.

During a 0.001 s interval while it is between the plates, the change of the momentum of the electron Δp with arrow is < 0, -8
Delvig [45]

Answer:

5.5 x 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

t = 0.001 s

Δp = - 8.8 x 10^-17 kg m /s

Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

F = Δp / Δt

F = (8.8 x 10^-17) / 0.001 = 8.8 x 10^-14 N

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Electric field, E = F / q = (8.8 x 10^-14) / (1.6 x 10^-19)

E = 5.5 x 10^5 N/C

a roller coaster is at the top of a hill and rolls to the top of a lower hill.If mechanical energy is conserved,on the top of wh
pychu [463]
Hello!!

Here we have a simple matter of conservation of energy. ME=PE+KE.

At point A we have PE=mgh and KE=1/2mv^2. At point A all we have is PE since the coaster isn’t rolling yet. But by conservation of energy, we know that it will have enough energy to roll down and get to and equal height on another hill. Providing we are neglecting friction and drag and resistance forces which we are in this case. So we can conclude that the KE will be greater at Point B since ME=PE+KE and for ME to remain the same and we know the PE is less on lower hill, so we can conclude that KE on lower hill is greater to keep ME the same and have conservation of energy.

Hope this helps you understand the concept!! Any questions please just ask!! Thank you so much!!
