According to Newton's first law of motion a body continues to be in the state of rest of uniform motion along a straight line unless it's acted upon by an external force to change its state. This means a body on its own cannot change its state its state of rest or state of uniform motion along a straight line. This inability of a body to change by itself its state of rest or uniform motion along a straight line is called inertia of body.

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of
kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.

A jogger hears a car alarm and decides to investigate. While running toward the car, she hears an alarm frequency of 872.10 Hz.
Nata [24]

Answer:

v = 4.18 m/s

Explanation:

given,

frequency of the alarm = 872.10 Hz

after passing car frequency she hear = 851.10 Hz

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

speed of the jogger = ?

speed of the

v_f = \dfrac{872.10-851.10}{2}

v_f =10.5\ Hz

v_o = 872.1 - 10.5

V_0 = 861.6\ Hz

The speed of jogger

v = \dfrac{v_1 \times 343}{v_0}-343

v = \dfrac{872.1 \times 343}{861.6}-343

v = 4.18 m/s

A 4kg object has a momentum of 12 kg*m/s, what is the objects velocity?
Bezzdna [24]
Momentum = mass x velocity
12 = 4 x v | ÷ both sides by 4
12 ÷ 4 =v
v= 3 m/s

Use the galvanometers to determine the amount and direction of the induced current. Which galvanometer is
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Looking at the 3 galvanometer readings given above, for galvanometer A, the reading is -2 mA.

For galvanometer B, the reading is 4 mA.

While for galvanometer C, the reading is -5 MA

Thus, option B is correct.
