Answer:

The force the rock exerts on Sarah =#is 65 N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Sarah's weight = 392 N

The force with which Sarah pushes the rock = 65 N

The mass of the rock = 56 kg

The weight of the rock = The mass of the rock × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The weight of the rock = 56 kg ×9.81 m/s² = 549.36 N

Given that the force Sarah applies to push the rock = 65 N, then by Newton's third law of motion which states that action and reaction are equal and opposite, the force that the rock exert on Sarah is equal an opposite to the force Sarah is applying

Therefore, the force the rock exerts on Sarah = 65 N (in the opposite direction).

Answer:

pressure=height × density×acc due to gravity

pressire is directly proportional to height hence it decreses with decrease in height

here air column height is measured upside down so decreases witn increment

A proton is ejected from the sun at a speed of 2 x 10^6 m/s. How long does it take for this proton to reach earth? Answer in hou

wolverine [178]

The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 149,600,000 km.

$d=149 600 000 \ km = 149 600 000 000 \ m = 1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m \\
v=2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s} \\ \\ \\
t=\frac{d}{v} \\ \\
t=\frac{1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m}{2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s}}=748 \cdot 10^2 \ s =\frac{748 \cdot 10^2 }{36 \cdot 10^2} \ h \approx \underline{\underline{20,78 \ h}}$

A truck, initially at rest, rolls down a frictionless hill and attains a speed of 20 m/s at the bottom. To achieve a speed of 40

Crank

Answer:

To achieve the velocity of 40 m/sec height will become 4 times

Explanation:

We have given initially truck is at rest and attains a speed of 20 m/sec

Let the mass of the truck is m

At the top of the hill potential energy is mgh and kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$
