Answer:

D) Heavier objects need a greater force to accelerate according to F=ma.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object is equal to:

F = mg

where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity. According to the formula, heavier objects (objects with greater mass, m) have a larger force of gravity acting on them.

However, the acceleration of an object towards the ground is given by:

a=\frac{F}{m}

therefore, we see that if the object is heavier (larger mass, m), the force of gravity (F) must also be larger in order to have the same acceleration a.

A 0.210-kg metal rod carrying a current of 11.0 A glides on two horizontal rails 0.490 m apart. If the coefficient of kinetic fr
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The  magnetic field is  B = 0.0764 \ T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The mass of the metal is  m  =  0.210 \ kg

     The current is  I  =  11.0 \ A

      The distance between the rail(length of the rod ) is  d  =  0.490 \ m

      The coefficient of kinetic friction is  \mu_k  =  0.200

Generally the magnetic force is mathematically represented as

      F_b  =  B *  I  *  d

Given that the rod is moving at a constant velocity, it

=>    F_b  =  F_k

Where F_k is the kinetic frictional force which is mathematically represented as

       F_k  =  \mu_k  *  m *  g

So

    B *  I  *  d =  \mu_k  * m * g

=>   B =  \frac{\mu_k  * m * g}{I  *  d }

substituting values

=>   B =  \frac{0.200  * 0.210  * 9.8 }{ 11  *  0.490 }

=>   B = 0.0764 \ T

I know that the relationship between altitude and atmospheric density is that the higher the altitude, the lesser the density, and the lower the altitude the higher the density. Lower density float to the top, and higher density is 'heavy' so it comes down

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Zero gravity

Explanation:

Astronauts around the earth either in spaceship, a space station or on a space walk appear to be weightless because of the zero gravity in such environment.

Weight is a function of the mass and acceleration due to gravity a body has.

   Weight  = mass  x  acceleration due to gravity

In a place where acceleration due to gravity is 0, the weight would be zero and a person would appear to be weightless.
