Unit of gravitational force

azamat

Answer:

Newton

Explanation:

9.80665 × kgf = 1 Newton N

1 kilogram force (kgf) was the force of gravity, which is pushing a mass of 1 kg at one place in the world on the ground; calculated according to Newton's law force = mass × acceleration.

A student places blocks on a 100cm long see-saw as shown/

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Part 1)

$\tau_1 = 5 \times (0.50) = 2.5 N m$

Part 2)

$\tau_2 = 14 \times (0.30) = 4.2 N m$

Part 3)

$\tau_3 = 1.4 N m$

Part 4)

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

Explanation:

As we know that the block A is placed at distance

d = 50 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of A is given as

$\tau_1 = 5 \times (0.50) = 2.5 N m$

the block B is placed at distance

d = 30 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of B is given as

$\tau_2 = 14 \times (0.30) = 4.2 N m$

Now torque due to weight of the scale is given as

$\tau_3 = 7(0.20)$

$\tau_3 = 1.4 N m$

now torque on left side of scale is given as

$\tau_{left} = \tau_1 + \tau_3$

$\tau_{left} = 2.5 + 1.4 = 3.9 N m$

Torque on right Side is given as

$\tau_{right} = \tau_2 = 4.2 Nm$

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

Which of the following to all food chains depend on in an ecosystem

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy for all food chains. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants use light energy from the sun to make food energy. Energy flows, or is transferred through the system as one organism consumes another.

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up

Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the cube = $6.0 kg$

Consider the three cubes together as one.

$M$ = mass of the three cubes together = $3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg$

$a$ = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

$F$ = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

$F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N$

$F_{L}$ = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

$F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N$

What is the most important consideration for environmental policy makers?

Nutka1998 [239]

The most important consideration for environmental policy makers would be : environmental health
The basic purpose in creating environmental policy is maintaining the health of the population. the policies that created by the policy makers should be created to prevent any type of damage to population's well being

hope this helps
