What is the central idea for stacking rocks vertically to test the effects of forces

Physics

otez555 [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

You can see how forces can stack on one another by comparing the normal force of the bottom most rock to the normal force of the upper most rock.

Explanation:

Say you have 3 rocks all with mass m=3kg

These 3 rocks will all have the gravitational force of -29.4N (multiply 3kg by -9.8m/s^2)

If none of the rocks are stacked, then they all have the same normal force as well (29.4N)

However, stack them, and see how their normal forces change.

m1 will continue to have a normal force of 29.4N

m2 will now have a normal force of 58.8

m3 will now have a normal force of 88.2

Though they all retain the same gravitational force, their normal force changes depending on the forces acting down on them.

Mass 1 have no forces acting downwards other than gravity.

Mass 2 has the force of mass 1 and gravity acting down on it.

Mass 3 has the force of mass 1, mass 2, and gravity acting down on it.

Bogdan [553]
A rotating disc supplied with constant power where the relationship of the angular velocity of the disc and the number of rotations made by the disc is governed by Newton's second law for rotation. This law is specially made for rotating bodies which is extracted from Newton's second law of motion.

A mass of gas under constant pressure occupies a volume of 0.5 m3 at a temperature of 20°C. Using the formula for cubic expansio
Tanzania [10]
Without a change in pressure

V/T = V/T
Before change = after change - expansion

x = volume at m3

(0.5)/20 = x/45

.025 = x/45

.025 * 45 = x

1 = x

The volume of this gas is 1 m3.

Hope this helps :) also the gas expanded .5 of m3.

If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 42 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y = 42t − 16t2. Fi
krek1111 [17]
Y = 42t - 16t^2

velocity = vt = dy/dt

= 42 - 32t

v(1) = 42 - 32

= 10 ft/s

Hope this helps

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The electric field of an infinite line charge with a uniform linear charge density can be obtained by a using Gauss' law. Considering a Gaussian surface in the form of a cylinder at radius r, the electric field has the same magnitude at every point of the cylinder and is directed outward.
