How does this relate to Newton's second law?

Answer:

In ideal case, when no resistive forces are present then both the balls will reach the ground simultaneously. This is because acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the falling object. i.e. g = GM/R² where G = 6.67×10²³ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth and R is radius of earth.

Let us assume that both are metallic balls. In such case, we have to take into account the magnetic field of earth (which will give rise to eddy currents, and these eddy currents will be more, if surface area will be more) and viscous drag of air ( viscous drag is proportional to radius of falling ball), then bigger ball will take slightly more time than the smaller ball.

Which of the following is a surface phenomenon A evaporation B boiling C melting D freezing​
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A. evaporation

Explanation:

Evaporation is a surface phenomenon as the molecules of the surface gets sufficient energy to overcome the force of attraction which will help in converting to the vapor phase.

Determine whether the center of mass of the system consisting of the earth and moon lies inside or outside the earth. Assume tha
tester [92]

Answer:

R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The important concept of mass center defined by

         R_cm = 1 / M   ∑  x_i m_i

where M is the total mass, x_i and m_i are the position and masses of each body

Let's apply this expression to our case.

Let's set a reference frame where the axis points from the center of the Earth to the Moon,

       R_cm = 1 / M (m_earth 0 + m_moon d)

the total mass is

      M = m_earth + m_moon

     

the distance from the Earth is zero because all mass can be considered to be at its gravimetric center

let's calculate

      M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.35 10²²

      M = 6.0535 10₂⁴24 kg

we substitute

      R_cm = 1 / 6.0535 10²⁴ (0 + 7.35 10²² 3.84 )

      R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

A student pulls a 50-newton sled with a force having a magnitude of 15 newtons. What is the magnitude of the force that the sled
Simora [160]

Answer:

Force = 35 N

Explanation:

From Newton's third law of motion, the boy must apply a force greater than the weight of the sled to lift it.

weight of sled = mg

where m is its mass and g the force of gravity on it.

weight of sled = 50 N

Force applied by the boy on the sled = 15 N

Since the force applied on the sled by the boy is lesser than the weight of the sled, then;

Force that the sled exerts on the student = 50 - 15

                                             = 35 N

The force exerted by the sled on the student is 35 N.
