Answer:

Explanation:

Gravity pulls everything down at the same rate of 9.8 m/s/s. If you're looking for the normal force, which is the same as the weight of the object, we'll find that, just in case.

w = mg which says that the normal force/weight of an object is equal to its mass times the pull of gravity:

w = 4.0(9.8) so

w = 39N

vagabundo [1.1K]
It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.

If the fundamental frequency of a musical instrument is 42Hz, what is the frequency of the second harmonic?
timurjin [86]
For the majority of instruments f = n f0 where f is the resonating frequency, n is any whole number and f0 is the fundamental. 
<span>This applies to trumpets, violins, flutes and a broad range. </span>
<span>In such a </span>case<span> the first harmonic would be at n=1 and the second harmonic would be at n=2 </span>

<span>which gives a frequency of 84 Hz</span>

A man does 500 J of work pushing a car a distance of 2 m. How much force does he apply? Assume there is no friction.
Dmitry [639]

The correct answer is A. 250N

Work is a product of force and distance.

That is, work done=force×distance

Therefore substituting for the values in the question:

500J=force×2m

force= 500Nm/2m=250N

another unit for work done is Nm as force as the SI unit of force is newtons and distance in meters

Gwar [14]

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field in the positive x direction with magnitude 850 N/C. The change in the electric potential energy of the proton-field system when the proton travels to x = 2.50m is -3.40 × 10⁻¹⁶ J (Option B)

<h3 /><h3>How is the change in electric potential energy of the proton-field system calculated?</h3>

  • Work done on the proton =Negative of the change in the electric potential energy of the proton field
  • In the given case, W = -qΔV
  • -W = qΔV
  • = qEcosθ
  • Therefore, work done on the proton = -e(8.50×10^2 N/C)(2.5m)(1)
  • = -3.40×10^-^1^6 J
  • Any change in the potential energy indicates the work done by the proton.
  • Therefore the positive sign shows that the potential energy increases when the proton does the work.
  • The negative sign shows that the potential energy decreases when the proton does the work.
