Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones
Answer:
4.3 * 10 N
Explanation:
To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.
torque = distance from pivot * perpendicular force
170 Nm= 0.4 m * F
F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures
Answer: C) Can "feel" (or record) large earthquakes that happen on the opposite side of the world
Explanation:
If a seismogram has recorded P-waves and surface waves, but not S-waves, the seismograph may have been on the other side of the planet from the earthquake. Therefore seismometers can feel large earthquakes from the other side of the world
Answer:
Explanation:
Standard International (SI) units of measurement is the acceptable global units of measure for physical quantities. they are majorly fundamental units.
Thus,
(a) The mass of a sport car is measured in kilograms (kg).
(b) The distance from your home to your school is measured in meters (m).
(c) The mass of an elephant is measured in kilograms (kg).
(d) The diameter of a large pizza is measure in meters (m).
(e) A semester at your school is measured in weeks.
(f) The time for light to travel from the sun to the earth is expressed in seconds (s).
(g) The time it takes to fly from New York to California is in seconds (s).
(h) Your mass is measured in kilograms (kg).
(i) The length of the Prime Meridian is expressed in meters (m).
(j) Your height is expressed in meters (m).
Answer:
PE = mgh
Explanation:
PE is potential energy
m is mass
g is gravitational field strength
h is height
