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.

The depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench is 36,198 ft. What is the gauge pressure at this depth

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × $10^{8}$ Pa

Explanation:

The pressure at the depth is given by,

P = h $\rho$ g

Where, P = pressure at the depth

h = depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench = 36,198 ft = 11033.15 meter

$\rho$ = density of water = 1000 $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

P = 11033.15 × 9.8 × 1000

P = 1.08 × $10^{8}$ Pa

Thus, the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × $10^{8}$ Pa

How are the planets sizes related to their surface gravity

dexar [7]

Answer:

The surface gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet

Explanation:

The gravity at the surface of a planet is given by:

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

We see from the formula that the surface gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet, R.

At the Earth's surface, the value of the surface gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.
