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

Anyone know how this work ?? <br> If u know help me it is an exam
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

D) This is the correct answer

Explanation:

In this exercise the two ball loads are suspended by a thread.

To answer this exercise, let us remember that charges of the same sign repel and charges of a different sign attract.

Therefore, for the system to maintain equilibrium, the two charges must be of the same sign.

When examining the different proposals

A) in this case, as a sphere has no charge, there is no electric force and the induced charge is of the opposite sign, so the spheres attract each other

B) in this case there is an electric force, but being of a different sign, the force is attractive so the system is not in equilibrium

C) as the charges are of different magnitude the system does not have equal angles

D) This is the correct answer, since the charges have the same magnitude and are of the same sign, so the force is repulsive and is counteracted by the weight component

Energy is conserved. This means that in any system, _________. a) energy is constantly recycled b) total energy input equals tot
tangare [24]

Answer:

b) total energy input equals total energy output

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is a generalization of the conservation of energy in thermal processes. It is based on Joule's conclusion that heat and energy are equivalent. But to get there you have to get around some traps along the way.

From Joule's conclusion we might be tempted to call heat "internal" energy associated with temperature. We could then add heat to the potential and kinetic energies of a system, and call this sum the total energy, which is what it would conserve. In fact, this solution works well for a wide variety of phenomena, including Joule's experiments. Problems arise with the idea of ​​heat "content" of a system. For example, when a solid is heated to its melting point, an additional "heat input" causes the melting but without increasing the temperature. With this simple experiment we see that simply considering the thermal energy measured only by a temperature increase as part of the total energy of a system will not give a complete general law.

Instead of "heat," we can use the concept of internal energy, that is, an energy in the system that can take forms not directly related to temperature. We can then use the word "heat" to refer only to a transfer of energy between a system and its environment. Similarly, the term work will not be used to describe something contained in the system, but describes a transfer of energy from one system to another. Heat and work are, therefore, two ways in which energy is transferred, not energies.

In an isolated system, that is, a system that does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings, the total energy must remain constant. If the system exchanges energy with its environment but not matter (what is called a closed system), it can do so only in two ways: a transfer of energy either in the form of work done on or by the system, either in the form of heat to or from the system. In the event that there is energy transfer, the change in the energy of the system must be equal to the net energy gained or lost by the environment.

What is physics and biology​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:Biology is the study of living organisms. Physics is the study of matter and the laws of nature to understand the behavior of matter and the universe. The Biophysical Society explains that, when scientists combine physics and biology, they learn more about biological systems on a molecular or atomic level.

. One long wire carries a current of 30 A along the entire x axis. A second-long wire carries a current of 40 A perpendicular to
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

magnitude of net magnetic field at given point is

B = 5 \times 10^{-6} T

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field due to a long current carrying wire is given as

B = \frac{\mu_o i}{2\pi r}

here we we will find the magnetic field due to wire which is along x axis is given as

i = 30 A

r = 2 m

now we have

B_1 = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} (30)}{2\pi (2m)}

B_1 = 3\times 10^{-6} T into the plane

Now similarly magnetic field due to another wire which is perpendicular to xy plane is given as

i = 40 A

r = 2 m

now we have

B_2 = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} (40)}{2\pi (2m)}

B_2 = 4\times 10^{-6} T along + x direction

Since the two magnetic field is perpendicular to each other

So here net magnetic field is given as

B = \sqrt{B_1^2 + B_2^2}

B = 5 \times 10^{-6} T

A boat with a horizontal tow rope pulls a waterskier. She skis off to the side, the rope makes an angle of 15° with the forward
dsp73

Answer:

<h3>13,976.23Joules</h3>

Explanation:

Workdone by the rope is expressed using the formula;

W = Fd sin(theta)

F is the tension in the rope = 180

d is the displacement = 300m

theta is the angle of inclination = 15°

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

W = 180(300)sin15

W = 54000sin 15

W = 13,976.23

Hence the workdone by the rope is 13,976.23Joules
