Answer:

6.86 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = mg............... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted by gravity on the mass, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Note: The Force exerted by gravity on the mass is thesame as the weight of the body.

From the question,

Given: m = 700 g = (700/1000) = 0.7 kg

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 9.8(0.7)

F = 6.86 N

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2$

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the

cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

$\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}$

$\mathbf{v_f ^2 =(2.0)^2 + 2\times 9.8 \times 7.5}$

$\mathbf{v_f ^2 =151 m/s}$

$\mathbf{v_f =\sqrt{151 m/s}}$

$\mathbf{v_f =12.29 \ m/s}$

From the equation of continuity:

$\mathbf{A_iV_i = A_fV_f}$

$\mathbf{\pi r^2_iV_i = \pi r^2_fV_f}$

$\mathbf{ r^2_iV_i = r^2_fV_f}$

$\mathbf{ (\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times 2.0 = r_f^2 \times 12.29}$

$\mathbf{ 50 = 12.29 \times r_f^2}$

$\mathbf{ r_f= \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{12.29} }}$

$\mathbf{ V_f= 2.02 \ cm }$

Since diameter = 2r;

∴

The diameter of the column of the water is:

= 2(2.02) cm

= 4.04 cm

in a softball game, a batter hits the ball at the velocity of 27m/s and angle of 40 shown below. What is the maximum range of th

Nata [24]

Answer:

R = 73.25 m

Explanation:

We have,

Initial speed of the ball is 27 m/s

It is projected at an angle of 40 degrees

The maximum range of the ball is given by :

$R=\dfrac{u^2\sin2\theta}{g}$

Plugging all the values we get :

$R=\dfrac{(27)^2\sin2(40)}{9.8}\\R=73.25\ m$

So, the maximum range of the ball is 73.25 m

How does the equivalence principle lead us to suspect that spacetime might be curved?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

To understand Einstein's thought processes,

imagine yourself in the sealed box, being accelerated through interplanetary

space at 9.8m/s^2. You grab the flashlight that you keep on the bedside

table and shine a beam of light perpendicular to the acceleration vector. Since the box is accelerating upward, the path of the light beam

will appear to you to be bent downward, as the floor of the box rushes up

to meet the photons. However, thanks to the equivalence principle, we can

replace the accelerated box with a stationary box experiencing a constant gravitational acceleration. Since there's no way to distinguish between these

two cases, we are led to the conclusion that the paths of photons will be

curved downward in the presence of a gravitational field. Gravity affects

photons, Einstein concluded, even though they have no mass. Contemplating the curved path of the light beam.

Fermat's principle, which states that

light travels between two points along a path which minimizes the travel time required. In a vacuum, where the speed of light is constant, this translates into the requirement that light takes the shortest path between two points. In Euclidean, or flat, space, the shortest path between two points is a straight line. However, in the presence of gravity, the path taken by light is not a straight line. Thus, Einstein concluded, space is not Euclidean. The presence of mass, in Einstein's view, causes space to be curved.
