Answer:

The moon's orbit draws the oceans to it, which triggers ocean tides. Force produces stars and planets by gathering the mass from which it exists.

While water skiing behind her father’s boat, Letty is pulled at constant speed by a force of 164 N from the tow rope that makes

kap26 [50]

Answer:

0.265

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram. There are four forces:

Normal force Fn pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Tension force T at an angle θ.

Friction force Fn μ pushing left.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + T sin θ − mg = 0

Fn = mg − T sin θ

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T cos θ − Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = T cos θ

μ = T cos θ / Fn

μ = T cos θ / (mg − T sin θ)

Given T = 164 N, θ = 10.0°, m = 65.0 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

μ = (164 N cos 10.0°) / (65.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 164 N sin 10.0°)

μ = 0.265

Does the depth of a pot affect how water freezes

Iteru [2.4K]

In my opinion it does. The more water the pot holds, the longer you need to wait for it to freeze. Since there is more water, some parts may not be completely frozen. An experiment you can try is to get an ice cube container and a pot. fill both of them and put them in the freezer for the same amount of time. When you take it out, the ice cubes should be frozen leaving the pot with cold water.

1. When you have different masses for each sphere, how does the force that the larger mass sphere exerts on the smaller mass sph

aleksandrvk [35]

1) The forces are equal (Newton's third law of motion)

2) The force between the spheres will quadruple

3) The force of gravity exerted by the notebook on you is negligible

Explanation:

In this part of the problem, we want to compare the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

We can do this by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In this problem, we can identify the larger mass sphere as object A and the smaller mass sphere as object B. This law tells us that the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction: therefore, the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere is equal to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the two spheres is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$
