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

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

A heat engine with 0.500 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 1000 cm3 cylinder at 700 K . The gas goes through the fo

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

2234.63

Explanation:

Work done per cycle by the engine is calculated as;

$W=\int p \ dv$

#Since volume doesn't change in the isochoric steps, there is no work done, hence:

$W_2=W_3=0$

#For an isothermal change of state(ideal gas):

$pV=nRT\\\\W=P_iV_ i\int \frac{1}{V} \ dV\\\\=P_iV_ iIn(V_f/V_i)$

#for the expansion process:

$W_i=0.5mol\times8.3145J/molK\times 700K \ In(6000cm^3/1000cm^3)\\\\W_i=5214.15J$

$W_4=0.5mol\times8.3145J/molK\times 400K \ In(6000cm^3/1000cm^3)\\\\W_4=-2979.52$

$W=W_1+W_2+W_3+W_4\\\\=5214.15J-2979.52\\\\=2234.63J$

Hence, the engine does 2234.63J per second.

Consider two identical and symmetrical wave pulses on a string. Suppose the first pulse reaches the fixed end of the string and

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The amplitude of the resultant wave will be 0.

Explanation:

Suppose the first wave has an amplitude of A. Its angle is given as wt.

The second way will also have the same amplitude as that of first.

After the reflection, a phase shift of π is added So the wave is given as

$W_1=W_2=Acos(\omega t)\\W_1^{'}=Acos(\omega t+ \pi)$

Adding the two waves give

$W_1'+W_2=Acos(\omega t+ \pi)+Acos(\omega t)\\W_1'+W_2=-Acos(\omega t)+Acos(\omega t)\\W_1'+W_2=0$

So the amplitude of the resultant wave will be 0.
