D. Free fall

Explanation:

An object is said to be in free fall when there is only one force acting on the body, which is the force of gravity.

Near the Earth's surface, the force of gravity acting on a body is given by

F = mg

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity (its value is 9.8 m/s^2)

The direction of this force is downward (towards the Earth's centre).

If we apply Newton's second law on an object in free-fall, we can find its acceleration. In fact, we have:

a=\frac{F}{m}

And substituting F,

a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2

So, every object in free-fall accelerates at 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

A 5 kgkg sphere having a charge of ++ 8 μCμC is placed on a scale, which measures its weight in newtons. A second sphere having
Mrac [35]

Answer:

 F_Balance = 46.6 N    ,m' = 4,755 kg

Explanation:

In this exercise, when the sphere is placed on the balance, it indicates the weight of the sphere, when another sphere of opposite charge is placed, they are attracted so that the balance reading decreases, resulting in

          ∑ F = 0

          Fe –W + F_Balance = 0

         F_Balance = - Fe + W

           

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

          Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r₂

The weight is

          W = mg

Let's replace

           F_Balance = mg - k q₁q₂ / r₂

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          q₁ = + 8 μC = +8 10⁻⁶ C

          q₂ = - 3 μC = - 3 10⁻⁶ C

          r = 0.3 m = 0.3 m

Let's calculate

         F_Balance = 5 9.8 - 8.99 10⁹  8 10⁻⁶ 3 10⁻⁶ / (0.3)²

         F_Balance = 49 - 2,397

         F_Balance = 46.6 N

This is the balance reading, if it is calibrated in kg, it must be divided by the value of the gravity acceleration.

Mass reading is

          m' = F_Balance / g

          m' = 46.6 /9.8

          m' = 4,755 kg

As the hot gas from a space shuttle is released downward, what does this cause to happen?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

D. Upward force on the shuttle

Explanation:

The hot gas from space shuttles released downward causes an upward force on the shuttle and propels it up the more.

  • This hot gas is produced from super cooled oxygen and hydrogen tanks within the shuttle.
  • The upward force on the shuttle allows the craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth on the shuttle
  • Special level of rapid acceleration must be attained for the shuttle to escape the earth pull.

when a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. when a certain constant
solong [7]

Explanation:

When a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass.

a\propto \dfrac{1}{m}

or

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}

If m₁ = 21 kg, a₁ = 3 m/s², m₂ = 9 kg

We need to find a₂

So,

a_2=\dfrac{m_1a_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{21\times 3}{9}\\\\a_2=7\ m/s^2

So, if mass is 9 kg, its acceleration is 7 m/s².

Quanto tempo deve ficar ligado um ferro eletrico de 1000 w para que tenha o mesmo consumo de energia que um chuveiro de 4400 w q
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Thus, the time for the first lamp is 44 minutes.

Explanation:

Power of first lamp, P' = 1000 W

Power of second lamp, P'' = 4400 W

time for second lamp, t'' = 10 minutes

Let the time for first lamp is t'.

As the energy is same, so,

P' x t' = P'' x t''

1000 x t' = 4400 x 10

t' = 44 minutes
