Answer:

North

Explanation:

Friction is a reaction force against the direction of movement. So since the direction of movement is south the friction would be opposite and move north.

Answer:

South To North

Explanation:

Frictional force acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of a body. Because the object is moving from north to south, the direction of frictional force is from south to north

A ball of moist clay falls 17.3 m to the ground. It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping. (a) What is the a

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Acceleration, $767.08\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Height from a ball falls the ground, h = 17.3 m

It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping.

We need to find the average acceleration the ball during the time it is in contact with the ground.

Firstly, find the velocity when it reached the ground. So,

$v^2=u^2+2ah$

u = initial velocity=0 m/s

a = acceleration=g

$v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 17.3} \\\\v=18.41\ m/s$

It is in negative direction, u = -18.41 m/s

Let a is average acceleration of the ball. Consider, v = and u = -18.41 m/s.

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-18.41}{24\times 10^{-3}}\\\\a=767.08\ m/s^2$

So, the average acceleration of the ball during the time it is in contact is $767.08\ m/s^2$ .

What value do we use to describe acceleration due to gravity

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

9.8 m/s2

Explanation:

In the first equation above, g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth. That is to say, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 m/s2.

Got it from the internet, hope it helps though ^^

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant

Elena L [17]

Answer:

19 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question requires the final speed to be calculated.

Velocity is the rate and direction at which an object moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time and can be calculated by the difference in velocity over a given time.

For this question, first the unknown acceleration must be calculated and used to determine the final velocity

Step 1: Calculate the acceleration

$a=\frac{v_{2}-v{1}}{t_{1}}$

$a=\frac{11-7}{8}$

$a=\frac{4}{8}$

$a=0.5 m/s^{2}$

Step 2: Calculate the velocity using the acceleration calculated above

$a=\frac{v_{3}-v{2}}{t_{2}}$

$0.5=\frac{v_{3}-11}{16}$

$v_{3}=19 m/s$

In 6 secs, the dog covers-
S=vt
8.9*6 = 53.4 m.
In the same time, the cat covers, 53.4-3.8 = 49.6 m.
Thus, speed of the cat, v= s/t,
= 49.6/6 = 8.267 m/s

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M_1, M_2$ are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.
