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

Write the name of two substance used to laminate the core of transformer​
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Transformers use “electrical steel” alloys. ... From 1% to 6.5% silicon is added, as well as a small amount (up to 0.5%) of manganese and aluminum to reduce brittleness in alloys with higher percentages of silicon. Electrical steels are formulated and processed to have low hysteresis and eddy-current losses.

Explanation:

The eddy currents consume energy and heat the iron core. The designers of the electrical machines and transformers laminate the core with thin sheets of iron coated with a thin oxide layer.

A 120-kg hollow spherical ball 1 m in diameter accelerates at a constant rate from rest to 5 rpm in 20 s and then continues to r
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

moment of inertia of hollow ball

= 2 / 3  mR²  , m is mass and R is radius of the ball

= 2 / 3 x 120 x .5²

= 20 kg m²

b )

5 rpm =      5 / 60 rps

n = .0833

angular velocity ω = 2πn= 2 x 3.14 x .0833=  .523 rad /s

angular acceleration = increase in angular velocity / time

= .523 - 0 / 20

α = .02615 rad /s²

c )

Torque = moment of inertia x angular acceleration

= 20 x .02615

= .523 Nm

d )

θ = 1/2 α t²

= .5 x  .02615 x 20²

= 5.23

2π n = 5.23 where n is required number

n = .83
