1) 29.4 N

The force of gravity between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M and m are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the centres of mass of the two objects

In this problem, we have

M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg (mass of the Earth)

m=3.0 kg (mass of the box)

r=R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m (Earth's radius, which is also the distance between the centres of mass of the two objects, since the box is located at Earth's surface)

Substituting into the equation, we find F:

F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24})(3.0)}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=29.4 N

2) g=9.8 m/s^2

Let's now calculate the ratio F/m. We have:

F = 29.4 N

m = 3.0 kg

Subsituting, we find

\frac{F}{m}=\frac{29.4}{3.0}=9.8 N/kg = 9.8 m/s^2

This is called acceleration of gravity, and it is the acceleration at which every object falls near the Earth's surface. It is indicated with the symbol g.

We can prove that this is the acceleration of the object: in fact, according to Newton's second law,

F=ma

where a is the acceleration of the object. Re-arranging,

a=\frac{F}{m}

which is exactly equal to the quantity we have calculated above.

The force generated by a long muscle varies as it contracts through its range of movement. At which point is the greatest force
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

When the muscle is completely contract.

Explanation:

Remember the that maximum force of a muscle is when is completely contract. A characteristic of a muscle is that can contract and can relax in the opposite direction. In this way, when all the microfibers of the muscle are join together (they are contract) is when the maximum tissue force is applied.

With exercise the fibers of the muscles can grow or reproduce to strength the muscle.

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado
Vesna [10]

Answer:

evolutionary theory

Explanation:

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado River and that river’s tributary streams.

This evidence does not support catastrophic theory but it does support evolutionary theory, because it was gradual process and took place overtime. It did not happen in a catastrophic manner.

A merry-go-round of radius 2 m is rotating at one revolution every 5 s. A
galben [10]

Answer:

a) The angular speed of the child is approximately 1.257 rad/s

b) The angular speed of the teenager is approximately 1.257 rad/s

c) The tangential speed of the child is approximately 1.257 m/s

d) For the child, r = 2 m

The tangential speed of the teenager is approximately 2.513 m/s

Explanation:

The revolutions per minute, r.p.m. of the merry-go-round = 1 revolution/(5 s)

The radius of the merry-go-round = 2 m

The location of the child = 1 m from the axis

The location of the teenager = 2 m from the axis

1 revolution = 2·π radians

Therefore, we have;

The angular speed, ω = (Angle turned)/(Time elapsed) = (2·π radians)/(5 s)

∴ The angular speed of the merry-go-round, ω = 2·π/5 radians/second

a) The angular speed of the child = The angular speed of the merry-go-round = 2·π/5 radians/second ≈ 1.257 rad/s

b) The angular speed of the teenager = The angular speed of the merry-go-round = 2·π/5 radians/second ≈ 1.257 rad/s

c) The tangential speed, v = r × The angular speed, ω

Where;

r = The radius of rotation of the object

For the child, r = 1 m

The tangential speed of the child = 1 m × 2·π/5 radians/second = 2·π/5 m/s ≈ 1.257 m/s

d) For the child, r = 2 m

The tangential speed of the teenager = 2 m × 2·π/5 radians/second = 4·π/5 m/s ≈ 2.513 m/s
