The net force acting on a 5 kg discus is 50 n. what is the acceleration of the discus

Physics
1 answer:
Lyrx [107]3 years ago
8 0
Answer: 10 m/s^2

Explanation:

1) The second law of Newton gives the definition and formula to calculate the net force:

Net force acting on an object = mass * acceleration.

2) From that, when you know the net force acting of the object and its mass, you can solve for the acceleration:

acceleration = Net force / mass

acceleration = 50 N / 5 kg = 10 m/s^2, which is the answer.

Which one of the following accurately describes the force of gravity? A. The gravity acceleration has no effect on a body moving
attashe74 [19]
Answer: C
The gravity acceleration is in the same direction as the force of gravity, and thus toward the center of the earth.

Explanation:
All celestial bodies in our solar system experience forces between each other. On earth, the localized gravitational force in the earth's atmosphere is directed toward the center of the earth. It's magnitude is
32.174 ft/s² in English units,
9.807 m/s² in SI units.

All objects that have mass are subject to the earth's gravitational acceleration. The product of mass and the earth's gravitational acceleration defines the weight of an object as its gravitational force.
