The motion of an apple when it falls from a tree is

b) Accelerating

The motion of apple is when it falls from a tree is the case of free fall.

During free fall , the initial velocity of the apple or any object is zero but it gains some velocity due to gravitatonal acceleration .

Answer:

center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

center of gravity of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here

Explanation:

Position of centre of mass is given as

$r_{cm} = \frac{m_1r_1 + m_2r_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

here we have

$m_1 = 10.2 kg$

$m_2 = 4.6 kg$

$r_1 = (0, 0)$

$r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)$

now we have

$r_{cm} = \frac{10.2 (0,0) + 4.6 (8.1 , 0)}{10.2 + 4.6}$

$r_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}$

$r_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)$

so center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

now for center of gravity we can use

$r_g_{cm} = \frac{m_1gr_1 + m_2gr_2}{m_1g + m_2g}$

here we have

$m_1 = 10.2 kg$

$m_2 = 4.6 kg$

$r_1 = (0, 0)$

$r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)$

now we have

$r_g_{cm} = \frac{10.2(9.8) (0,0) + 4.6(9.8) (8.1 , 0)}{10.2(9.8) + 4.6(9.8)}$

$r_g_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}$

$r_g_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)$

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here

Two small metal spheres are 25 cm apaft.The spheres have equal amount of negative charge and repel each other with a force of 0.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

$0.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Explanation:

According to coulombs law force between two charges is given by $F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2}$ here R is the distance between both the charges which is given as 25 cm

We have given force F =0.036 N

So $0.036=\frac{1}{4\pi \times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\frac{Q^2}{(0.25^2)}$ As $\epsilon _0$ is constant which value is $8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$Q^2=0.250\times 10^{-12}$

$Q=0.5\times 10^{-6}C$
