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

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

First law: kinetic energy is used to turn an electric generator

Second law: some thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, the kinetic energy of the steam is used to turn the electric generator (thereby producing electrical energy).

The second law of thermodynamics states that energy transfer or transformation leads to an increase in entropy resulting in the loss of energy. This law also states that as energy is transferred or transformed, some is lost in a form that is unusable. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, some of the thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system.

relative to the floor, what potential energy does a 2.5 kg package have that sits on a shelf 2.2 m high
Kobotan [32]
Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
                             =    2.5 x 9.8 x 2.2
                             =          53.9 J.

Hope this helps!

If Julie applies 2.67 Newtons of force down onto the table, how
sattari [20]

Answer:

0.6 pound.

Explanation:

From the question given above:

Julie applies 2.67 Newton (N) of force down onto the table.

Hence, we can obtain the force in pound applied by Julie on the table as follow:

Recall:

1 N = 0.225 pound

Therefore,

2.67 N = 2.67 × 0.225

2.67 N = 0.6 pound

Therefore, the force in pound applied by Julie on the table is 0.6 pound
