Physics
1 answer:
andrezito [222]2 years ago

1. Weight is the gravitational pull with which the earth attracts the body towards the center of the earth. The S.I unit is Newton (N)

2. The weight of an object is related to its mass with the below equation.

W = mg

Where W = weight, m = mass and g = acceleration due to gravity

3. The mass m = 50 kg and g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

Substitute the parameters in the equation above.

W = 50 x 9.8

W = 490 N

4. An object is accelerating when it speeds up. If the object slows down, it means it is decelerating. The correct answer is option A

5. Newton's second law of motion is:

F = ma

Where F = force applied, m = mass and a = acceleration

Therefore, Newton's second law of motion relates an object's acceleration to its net force acting on it. The correct answer is option C

6. According to Newton's second law of motion which relates an object's acceleration to its mass, doubling the net force acting on an object a doubles its acceleration. Because mass is always constant.

7. Since the weight of an object is related to its mass with the equation.

W = mg,  If the mass of an object doubles, its weight will also doubles. Option A is the correct answer.

8. If you know the mass of an object, you can calculate its weight with the formula F = mX when X = 9.8m/s^{2}

9. Force is expressed in unit as Newton (N)

10. The parameters given are :

mass m = 20kg

Force F = 40N

To calculate acceleration, use the formula F = ma

Substitute all the parameters into the equation.

40 = 20a

a = 40/20

a = 2m/s^{2}

The correct option is D

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) Frope= 71.7 N

b) Frope=6.7 N

Explanation:

In the figure the skier is simulated as an object, "a box".

a) At constant velocity we can say that the object is in equilibrium, so we apply the Newton's first law:

∑F=0

Frope=w*sen6.8°

Frope=71.71N

Take into account that w is the weight that is calculated as mass per gravitiy constant:

w=m*g

w=61.8Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

w=605.64N

b) In this case the system has an acceleration of 0.109m/s2.  Then, we apply Newton's second law of motion:

F=m*a

F=61.8Kg*0.109m/s2

Frope=6.73N

The diagram shows two charged objects, X and Y.
masya89 [10]

The missing diagram is in the attachments.

Answer: X: positive Y: positive

Explanation: Electric field is a vector quantity, which means it can be represented by a vector arrow: the arrow points in the direction of electric field and its length represents the magnitude at a given location. There are another representation of the electric field called electric field lines, <u>in which the line points away from a positively charged source and towards a negatively charged source</u>. This occurs because it follows a pattern, where the lines points in the direction that a positive test charge would have if it is accelerating on the line.

Analyzing the diagram, it can be observed that the lines are pointing away from both of the charged objects. Therefore, both X and Y are <u>positively charged</u>.

A research submarine can withstand an external pressure of 62 megapascals (million pascals) all the while maintaining a comforta
Alex

Answer:

<em>The depth will be equal to</em> <em>6141.96 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

pressure on the submarine P_{sea} = 62 MPa = 62 x 10^6 Pa

we also know that P_{sea} = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of sea water = 1029 kg/m^3

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth below the water that this pressure acts

substituting values, we have

P_{sea} = 1029 x 9.81 x h = 10094.49h

The gauge pressure within the submarine P_{g} = 101 kPa =  101000 Pa

this gauge pressure is balanced by the atmospheric pressure (proportional to 101325 Pa) that acts on the surface of the sea, so it cancels out.

Equating the pressure P_{sea}, we have

62 x 10^6 = 10094.49h

depth h = <em>6141.96 m</em>
