Answer:

B. South Pole.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that

F = \frac {Gm_1m_2} {r^2}

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of G, m_1, m_2, we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

<em>In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.</em>

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line

  If you have ever lived in Chicago, then the answer might very well be C. 
Newton's Second law states F = ma. This problem has nothing to do with acceleration. 
Newton's Third law is the familiar action/reaction law. If the poles are anchored well enough and have a flexural strength greater than the tension exerted on them by the wire; then D is just.
That leaves B. There's no problem all we have to do is to increase the horizontal tension in the cable.

A person standing on a scale feels a normal force of 655 N pushing up on him. What is his mass? (Unit=kg)
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Approximately 66,8kg

Hope this help :D

Explanation:

F=mg. So 655N= 9.8 m/s² × mass.

Mass = 655 / 9.8

Which force does not operate at a distance of 1 m?
beks73 [17]

Answer: A. Strong nuclear

The max effective range of strong nuclear force is about 1.2 femtometers ( which is 1.2*10^(-15) meters). This is well below 1 meter. Strong nuclear forces are the forces that hold together a nucleus. Specifically it holds together the protons that would otherwise repel one another due to similar charge.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The direction of magnetic filed will be clockwise along y axis.

Explanation:

According to right hand rule,

Thumb of right hand shows the the direction of current and folded finger shows the direction of magnetic field.

So, a long and straight wire carrying a current and the direction of current is in the + y direction then the direction of magnetic filed will be clockwise across y axis.
