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.

How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Read below!

Explanation:

You can watch the sun wheel across the sky during the day, and the stars at night. Focus a telescope on any star besides the north star--especially southern stars--and you can watch them drift across your field of view.  

An alternative explanation is that all the stars are painted on (or holes in) some canopy that rotates around the earth. This explanation does not account for the motion of the "wanderers," or planets, as the Greeks called them, or for the path of the moon among the stars.  

As we know the stars are massive bodies of significant and varying distance to the earth, the notion they all swing around us in unison seems highly implausible

You stand on a merry-go-round which is spinning at f = 0.25 revolutions per second. You are R = 200 cm from the center. (a) Find
wariber [46]

Answer:

a) ω = 9.86 rad/s

b) ac = 194. 4 m/s²

c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8

Explanation:

a) angular speed, ω = 2πf, where f is frequency of revolution

1 rps = 6.283 rad/s, π = 3.142

ω = 2 * 3.14 * 0.25 * 6.28

ω = 9.86 rad/s

b) centripetal acceleration, a = rω²

where r is radius in meters; r = 200 cm or 2 m

a = 2 * 9.86²

a = 194. 4 m/s²

c) µs = frictional force/ normal force

frictional force = centripetal force = ma; where a is centripetal acceleration

normal force = mg; where g = 9.8 m/s²

µs = ma/mg = a/g

µs = 194.4 ms⁻²/9.8 ms⁻²

c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8

local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 685.9 kHz. Calculate the wavelength at which they are broadcasting. Waveleng
natta225 [31]

Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

  • Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
  • As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

       c = \lambda* f (1)

  • Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

       \lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m  (2)
