Why dose the weight of an object change with increasing elevation on earth

Physics
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 years ago
6 0

Because the strength of the gravitational forces between two objects
depends on the distance between the objects' centers, and when your
elevation changes, so does the distance between your center and the
center of the Earth.

Newton's first law is that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will stay at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

A mass m neutron has elastic collision with a mass m'
hoa [83]

Answer:

The neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of neutron is 'm' and mass of nucleus is 'm'.

The type of collision is elastic collision.

In elastic collision, there is no loss in kinetic energy of the system. So, total kinetic energy is conserved. Also, the total momentum of the system is conserved.

Here, the nucleus is still. So, its initial kinetic energy is 0. So, the total initial kinetic energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the neutron only.

Now, final kinetic energy of the system will be equal to the initial kinetic energy.

Now, as the nucleus was at rest initially, so the final kinetic energy of the nucleus will be equal to the initial kinetic energy of the neutron.

Thus, all the kinetic energy of the neutron will be transferred to the nucleus and the neutron will come to rest after collision.

Therefore, the neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

A pair of toy freight cars, one twice the mass of the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Acc
saul85 [17]

Answer:

greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass

Explanation:

Since both the toys are connected by same spring so the force due to spring on both the toys will be same and it is given as

F = kx

now we know by Newton's II law

F = ma

so here we have

a = \frac{F}{m}

here we have same force on both the blocks

so acceleration will be more if mass is less

so greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass
