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

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy=1/2*mass*velocity^2

=1/2*14kg*10^2

=7*100

=700 joule

A kite is hovering over the ground at the end of a straight 38-m line. the tension in the line has a magnitude of 17 n. wind blo
postnew [5]

Let the tension in the thread will be at angle theta

now by force balance in  x and y directions we can say

17 cos\theta = 18 cos60

17 cos\theta = 9

\theta = 58.03 degree

now for the height of the kite we can use

h = L sin\theta

h = 38 sin58.03

h = 32.23 m

<em>so it will be at height 32.23 m from ground</em>

What do scientists do to easily share measurement data they can understand?
malfutka [58]
These days, scientists all over the world use a standard system of measurements.  It's the SI or metric system.

What about scientists in the United States, Liberia, and Burma ? 
These three countries are the only ones in the world that haven't
adopted the metric system.  What do THEY do ?

Easy.  When scientists in those countries are off work, they use the
inches, yards, feet, quarts, miles and gallons that everybody around
them is using.  But when they go to work, they use the same metric
system that everyone else in the world is using.
