5. The force of gravity acting on the object is object’s ______________.

Physics
1 answer:
Dima020 [189]2 years ago
5 0

I think it's mass...

The mass of an object refers to the amount of matter that is contained by the object; the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting upon that object. Mass is related to how much stuff is there and weight is related to the pull of the Earth (or any other planet) upon that stuff.

A box sits at rest on a rough 33° inclined plane. Draw the free-body diagram, showing all the forces
Cloud [144]

(a) The free body of all the forces include, frictional force, weight of the box acting perpendicular and another acting parallel to the plane.

(b) When the box is sliding down, the frictional force acts towards the right.

(c) When the box slides up, the direction of the frictional force changes, it acts towards the left.

<h3>Free body diagram</h3>

The free body diagram of all the forces on the box is obtained by noting the upward force and downward forces on the box as shown below;

                      /  W2

                    Ф → Ff

                    ↓W1

where;

  • Ff is the frictional force resisting the down motion of the box
  • W1 is the perpendicular component of the box weight = Wcos(33)
  • W2 is the parallel component of the box weight = Wsin(33)

(b) When the box is sliding down, the frictional force acts towards the right.

(c) When the box slides up, the direction of the frictional force changes, it acts towards the left.

Why are the outlets in homes never wired in series? What problems might this present?
rosijanka [135]
A series circuit means that there is only one current. Which means that everything is sharing that one wire. Homes are normally wired with a parallel circuit, which means that there is more than one current running through the house. If you have a series, if you turn on one thing for example a light switch, than everything will turn on with it. But of you have  a parallel you can turn on everything one by one, and save energy.

Trust me. I just took my semester test in physical science this morning, and I passed. This is exactly what we learned. <span />

Which of the following statements are true of thermal energy and kinetic energy?
Irina-Kira [14]
This question is asking you to determine if individual atoms or systems, or both have these types of energy. A system would be "all the molecules or atoms" whereas an individual atom is "each of the molecules or atoms."

Answers: 

A. All the molecules or atoms in motion have kinetic energy.

B. Each molecule or atom in motion has kinetic energy.

D. All the molecules or atoms in motion have thermal energy.

The only incorrect answer is C because individual atoms don't have thermal energy, only when they interact with other atoms. Still, atoms do have kinetic energy, which has the potential to turn into heat energy in these interactions.

Hope this helps!
