Answer:

By the information given, I am not sure how the event has played out. However, using common knowledge, I can give a scenario of how it may play out.

When removing the first block (the foundation), gravity will pull the other blocks down, as the strength of gravity exceeds that of the strength of air holding it up. This means that all the blocks on top would fall.

By definition of Newton's 1st - 3rd laws, the blocks would not move unless a force is given to it (i.e., removing the bottom block, which causes gravity). Gravity would pull the other blocks downwards. This would lead to the falling of the stack of blocks.

Answer:

Explanation:

A stack of blocks sits in equilibrium. That means, by Newton's 1st law, all blocks will remain stationary. The weight of each block is balanced by the reaction force from the block underneath it. The bottom block experiences a reaction force equals to the total weight of all blocks from the ground.

When the bottom block is removed, there will not be any reaction force from the ground. That causes a disturbance in the equilibrium. Without the balancing reaction, the blocks will have the gravity force from their weights pulling them down. By Newton 2nd law, the unbalance force will cause the blocks to accelerate towards the ground until they all crash-land.

What happens when a resultant electric field exist in conductor

klio [65]

Answer:

When an electric field exists in a conductor a current will flow.

This implies a voltage difference between two points on the conductor.

Electrostatics pertains to static charge distributions.

That means that an object such as a charged spherical conductor will be at the same potential (voltage) on both its outer and inner surfaces.

A watermelon is dropped from the top of a 80m tall building. We want to find the velocity of the watermelon after it falls for 1

White raven [17]

Answer:

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 13.23 m/s$

Explanation:

Height Of the watermelon when it is dropped is given as

$h = 80 m$

time of fall under gravity

$t = 1.35 s$

now if water melon start from rest then we have

$v_i = 0$

acceleration due to gravity for watermelon

$a = 9.81 m/s^2$

now we need to find the final speed of watermelon

$v_f = v_i + at$

so we will have

$v_f = 0 + (9.81)(1.35)$

$v_f = 13.23 m/s$

An automobile engine can produce 153 N · m of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration (in rad/s^2) produced if 85.2% of this

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

46.2 rad/s2

Explanation:

Angular acceleration works very similar to linear acceleration, it follows this equation:

$\gamma = \frac{Mt}{J}$

Where:

γ: angular acceleration

Mt: torque

J: moment of inertia of the load from its turning axis

Since we have the torque we just need the moment of inertia. We have to add together the moments of the drive shaft, tires, wheel walls and wheels.

The wheels act like disks. For disks the moment of inertia is:

$J = \frac{1}{2} * m * r^2$

$Jwheel = \frac{1}{2} = 15 * 0.18^2 = 0.243 kg*m^2$

The wheel walls act like annular rings, for these the moment of inertia is:

$J = \frac{1}{2} * m * (re^2 - ri^2)$

$Jwall = \frac{1}{2} * 2 * (0.32^2 - 0.18^2) = 0.07 kg * m^2$

The tread acts like a hoop, as in mass concentrated into a circunference, for these:

$J = m * r^2$

$Jtread = 10 * 0.33^2 = 1.09 kg*m^2$

The axle acts like a rod, which is the same as the disk:

$Jaxle = \frac{1}{2} * 14.1 * 0.02^2 = 0.0028 kg*m^2$

The drive shaft acts like a rod too:

$Jshaft = \frac{1}{2} * 31.7 * 0.032^2 = 0.016 kg*m^2$

SO, the total moment of inertia is:

J = 2*Jwheel + 2*Jwall + 2*Jtread + Jaxle + Jshaft

J = 2*0.243 + 2*0.07 + 2*1.09 + 0.0028 + 0.016 = 2.82 kg*m2

Finally the angular acceleration is:

$\gamma = \frac{0.852 * 153}{2.82} = 46.2 \frac{rad}{s^2}$
