Explain why gravity is the only force acting on a falling ball

Physics
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Gravity is the only force acting on a falling ball because of free fall. Since gravity is unbalanced it accelerates an object and the velocity increases as an object falls due to gravity pushing it. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.

The circuit has a 3 volt EMF and two ohm resistors. How much power in watts does this circuit draw? A) 4.5 , B) 24, C) 1.13 D) 2
dlinn [17]

Answer:

P = 4.5 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

EMF of the circuit, E = 3 volt

The resistance  of the resistors, R = 2 ohms

We need to find the power of this circuit. The relation between power, emf and resistance is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

Substitute all the values,

P=\dfrac{3^2}{2}\\\\P=4.5\ W

So, the power of this circuit is equal to 4.5 watts.

Problem 4: a long wire carries current towards east. a positive charge moves westward and just north from the wire. what is the
Alex787 [66]
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)

At what height is an object that weighs 490 newtons if its gravitational potential energy is 4900 J?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The height at which the object is moved is 10 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, W = F = 490 N

The gravitational potential energy, P = 4900 J

We need to find the height at which the object is moved. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to its position. It is given by :

P=mgh\\\\h=\dfrac{P}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{4900\ J}{490\ N}\\\\h=10\ m

So, the height at which the object is moved is 10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Estimate the constant rate of withdrawal (in m3 /s) from a 1375 ha reservoir in a month of 30 days during which the reservoir le
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ha = 10⁴ m²

1375 ha = 1375 x 10⁴ m² = 13.75 x 10⁶ m²

In flow in a month = .5 x 10⁶ x 30 m³ = 15 x 10⁶ m³

Net inflow after all loss = 18.5 - 9.5 - 2.5 cm = 6.5 cm = .065 m

Net inflow in volume = 13.75 x 10⁶ x .065 m³= .89375 x 10⁶ m³

Let Q be the withdrawal in m³

Q - 15 x 10⁶ - .89375 x 10⁶ = 13.75 x 10⁶ x .75 = 10.3125 x 10⁶

Q = 26.20 x 10⁶ m³

rate of withdrawal per second

= 26.20 x 10⁶ / 30 x 24 x 60 x 60

= 26.20 x 10⁶ / 2.592 x 10⁶

= 10.11 m³ / s
