Answer/Explanation:
The weight of an object is defined as the force that is exerted due to the gravitational force.
Mathematically, it can be written as :
W = m g
Where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Also,
We know that the value of g varies with respect to the location. At the equator, the value of g is less as compared to the poles.
The feature of an object that affects its weight are :
Mass of the object
Location of the object
How much force Earth exerts on the object
Answer:
An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.
Explanation:
Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion is known as Law of Inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
The inertia of a physical object such as a truck is greatly dependent or influenced by its mass; the higher the quantity of matter in a truck, the greater will be its tendency to continuously remain at rest.
Hence, the situation which is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion is that, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.
According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces do not act on it.
Answer:
1. the difference between a series circuit and parallel are if a bulb goes out in a series circuit all go out and in a parallel if one goes out all the others stay on.
2. the function of a switch is to determine if the circuit is closed or open and how is stays on.
Explanation:
Based on the Newton's second law of motion, the value of the net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration due to gravity. If we let a be the acceleration due to gravity, the equation that would allow us to calculate it's value is,
W = m x a
where W is weight, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Substituting the known values,
40 kg m/s² = (10 kg) x a
Calculating for the value of a from the equation will give us an answer equal to 4.
ANSWER: 4 m/s².
