The ???? ,of an object is a vector that is directed toward the center of the Earth.

1 answer:

5 0

The Weight is a vector whose magnitude is the product of the mass m of the object and the magnitude of the local gravitational acceleration. Its always directed toward the center of the Earth.

A rifle fires a 2.01 10-2-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the t

Zina [86]

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet $m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2}$ kg

Height difference of pellet rise $h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03$ m

Spring compression $x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

$mg(h_{f} -h_{o}) = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}$

Where $k =$ spring constant, $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }$

$k = 266.01$ $\frac{N}{m}$

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.

Gennadij [26K]

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

a bike is moving with a velocity of 90km/hr.after applying break it stops in 5 sec. calculate the force applied by brakes .mass

pentagon [3]

Explanation:

initial velocity(u) = 90 km/s = 25 m/s

time (t) = 5 sec

mass (m) = 200 kg

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

v = u + at

0 = 25 + a * 5

-25 = 5 a

-5 = a

Therefore acceleration = -5m/s²

Force = mass * acceleration

F = 200*-5

F = -1000 N

4.5 billion km, the average separation between the sun and Neptune (report answer in hours). How long does it take light to trav

Liula [17]

Answer:

t = 4.17 hours

Explanation:

given,

The distance between Sun and Neptune, d = 4.5 billion Km

= 4.5 x 10⁹ Km

= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m

The velocity of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The velocity is always equal to displacement by the time.

V = d / t m/s

∴ t = d / V

= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m / 3 x 10⁸ m/s

= 15,000 s

= 4.17 h

Hence, the time taken by the light rays to reach the Neptune is, t = 4.17 h
