Answer:

The gravitational acceleration is same for all objects.

a = b = c = d

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity or gravitational acceleration is the force exerted by Earth on unit mass of an object.

Acceleration due to gravity doesn't depend on the height of the object when the height is object is near to the surface of the Earth. Only when the height is comparable to the radius of the Earth, the value of gravitational acceleration changes.

But for the objects here, the gravitational acceleration is independent of the mass or height of the objects and has a constant value of 9.8 m/s².

Therefore, the gravitational acceleration of all the objects is same.

If 'a', 'b', 'c', and 'd' represent gravitational accelerations of objects 'a', 'b', 'c', and 'd' respectively, then a = b = c = d.

A billion years ago, Earth and its moon were just 200000 kilometers apart. Express this distance in meters.​
Luda [366]

Answer:

The  value is  x =  200000000 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  distance between the earth and the moon is  d  =  200000 \  km

Generally ,

     1 \  km  =  1000 \  m

      200000 \  km \to x \  m

=>    x = \frac{200000 *  1000}{1 }

=>   x =  200000000 \  m

Using a scale diagram, calculate the resultant force acting on a sailing boat when an easterly wind provides 2, point, 50, k, N,
EastWind [94]

Answer:

F = 3.6 kN, direction is 9.6º to the North - East

Explanation:

The force is a vector, so one method to find the solution is to work with the components of the vector as scalars and then construct the resulting vector.

Let's use trigonometry to find the component of the forces, let's use a reference frame where the x-axis coincides with the East and the y-axis coincides with the North.

Wind

X axis

          F₁ = 2.50 kN

Tide

         cos 30 = F₂ₓ / F₂

         sin 30 = F_{2y} / F₂

          F₂ₓ = F₂ cos 30

         F_{2y} = F₂ sin 30

         F₂ₓ = 1.20cos 30 = 1.039 kN

         F_{2y} = 1.20 sin 30 = 0.600 kN

the resultant force is

X axis

        Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ

        Fₓ = 2.50 +1.039

        Fₓ = 3,539 kN

        F_y = F_{2y}

        F_y = 0.600

to find the vector we use the Pythagorean theorem

         F = \sqrt{F_x^2 +F_y^2}

         F = \sqrt{ 3.539^2 + 0.600^2 }

         F = 3,589 kN

the address is

         tan θ = F_y / Fₓ

         θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{F_y}{F_x}

         θ = tan⁻¹  \frac{0.6}{3.539}0.6 / 3.539

         θ = 9.6º

the resultant force to two significant figures is

         F = 3.6 kN

the direction is 9.6º to the North - East

How long will it take a ball to roll 10 meters along the floor at a speed of 0.5 m/s?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

20 seconds.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Distance = 10 m

Speed = 0.5 m/s

Time =...?

The speed of an object is simply defined as the distance travelled by the object per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance /time

With the above formula, we can obtain the time taken for the ball to travel a distance of 10 m as shown below:

Distance = 10 m

Speed = 0.5 m/s

Time =...?

Speed = Distance /time

0.5 = 10/time

Cross multiply

0.5 × time = 10

Divide both side by 0.5

Time = 10/0.5

Time = 20 secs.

Therefore, it will take 20 seconds for the ball to travel a distance of 10 m.

ball A of mass 5.0 kg moving at 20 meters per second collides with ball B of unknown mass moving at 10. meters per second in the
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:The mass of ball B is 10 kg.

Explanation;

Mass of ball A = M_A=5 kg

Velocity of the ball A before collision:U_A=20 m/s

Velocity of ball A after collision=V_A=10 m/s

Mass of ball B= M_B

Velocity of the ball B before collision:U_B=10 m/s

Velocity of ball B after collision=V_B=15 m/s

M_AV_A+M_BV_B=M_AU_A+M_BU_B

5 kg\times 10 m/s+M_B\times 15=5 kg\times 20m/s+M_B\times 10m/s

M_B=10kg

The mass of ball B is 10 kg.
