Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
F = ma
If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
Answer:
a) Yes
b) No
Explanation:
In the first case, part a, yes we can say for certainty that cylinderical symmetry holds. Why so? You may ask. This is because from the question, we are told that the length of the rod is 300 cm. And this said length is longer than the distance to the point from the center of the rod, which is 5 cm.
In the second half of the question, I beg to disagree that cylindrical symmetry holds. Again, you may ask why, this is because the length of the rod in this case, is having the same order of magnitude as the distance to the center of the rod. Thus, it is not symmetrical.
Answer:
57908 N
Explanation:
Let's first convert Dumbo's mass into kg using the given relationship: 2.2 pounds =1 kg.
Then, 13000 lbs = 13000/2.2 kg = 5909 kg
Now, let's find the force of gravity on Dumbo at the surface of the earth, which would be in magnitude equal to the normal force that the Earth's surface applies on Dumbo.
F = m * a = 5909 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 57908 N
Answer:
The time taken by missile's clock is 
Solution:
As per the question:
Speed of the missile, 
Now,
If 'T' be the time of the frame at rest then the dilated time as per the question is given as:
T' = T + 1
Now, using the time dilation eqn:




(1)
Using binomial theorem in the above eqn:
We know that:

Thus eqn (1) becomes:


Now, putting appropriate values in the above eqn:


A. The cliff was 30.7 m high
B. I also got 9.5 as the horizontal distance
Here is my work, I find making charts like this one to find knowns and unknowns can be helpful
