What force is acting on a 2 kg apple falling on the Earth (g=10)

Physics
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

An apple in free fall accelerates toward the Earth with a free fall acceleration, g. The force of the apple on the Earth also causes the Earth to accelerate toward the falling apple. By Newton's Third Law, the force of the Earth on the apple is exactly equal and opposite to the force of the apple on the Earth. By Newton,s Second law, the force of the Earth on the apple is equal to the mass of the apple times g , the accelerations due to gravity. And, the force of the the apple on the Earth is equal to the mass of the Earth times the acceleration of the Earth toward the apple. In conclusion, the magnitude of the forces are equal, or

F ( apple on the Earth) = F( the Earth on the apple) or

M( mass of the earth) x a( the acceleration of the earth toward the apple) = m(mass of the apple) x g( the acceleration of the apple toward the Earth) or

a = (m/M) g

Compute the density in g/cm^3 of a piece of metal that had mass of 0.485 kg and a volume of 52cm^3
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

9.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

First, convert kg to g:

0.485 kg × (1000 g / kg) = 485 g

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = (485 g) / (52 cm³)

D = 9.33 g/cm³

Rounding to two significant figures, the density is 9.3 g/cm³.

Why do some scientists not use controlled experiments?
Leviafan [203]
Observational studies are a prime example. Observational data is more reflective of the real environments that scientists make their inferences to than controlled experiments. The disadvantage of observational studies is that the variability is far greater. <span />

At an instant when a particle of mass 80 g has a velocity of 25 m/s in the positive y direction, a 75-g particle has a velocity
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

16 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

y momentum = 0.080 *25 = 2

x momentum = 0.075*20 = 1.5

total momentum = √(4 + 2.25)

Total momentum = √6.25

Total momentum = 2.5

total mass = mass of x and y momentum = 0.075 + 0.080 = 0.155

speed of mass center = total momentum / total mass = 2.5/0.155 = 16.

And thus, the speed of the center of mass of this two-particle system at this instant is 16 m/s
