1. Define weight

1 answer:

8 0

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

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t

Lisa [10]

Explanation:

Let us assume that piece 1 is $m_{1}$ is facing west side. And, piece 2 is $m_{2}$ facing south side.

Let $m_{1} \text{and} m_{2}$ = m and $m_{3}$ = 2m. Hence,

$2mv_{3y} = m(21)$

$v_{3y} = \frac{21}{2}$

= 10.5 m/s

$2mv_{3x} = m(21)$

$v_{3x} = \frac{21}{2}$

= 10.5 m/s

$v_{3} = \sqrt{v^{2}_{3x} + v^{2}_{3y}}$

= $\sqrt{(10.5)^{2} + (10.5)^{2}}$

= 14.84 m/s

or, = 15 m/s

Hence, the speed of the third piece is 15 m/s.

Now, we will find the angle as follows.

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{3y}}{v_{3x}})$

= $tan^{-1}(\frac{10.5}{10.5})$

= $tan^{-1} (45^{o})$

= $45^{o}$

Therefore, the direction of the third piece (degrees north of east) is north of east.

After hitting the spring, the block is bounced back up the ramp. The maximum compression of the spring is Δx=0.03m, and the spri

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

v = 1.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Maximum compression of the spring, $\Delta x=0.03\ m$

Spring constant, k = 800 N/m

Mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

To find,

The velocity of the block when it first reaches a height of 0.1 m above the ground on the ramp.

Solution,

When the block is bounced back up the ramp, the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the block such that,

Initial energy = Final energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Substituting all the values in above equation,

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 800\times 0.03^2=0.2\times 9.8\times 0.1+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.2\times v^2$

v = 1.28 m/s

Therefore the velocity of block when it first reaches a height of 0.1 m above the ground on the ramp is 1.28 m/s.

1) Increase in the amount of the greenhouse gases

2) Removal of the natural wetland and ocean carbon sinks

3) Disruption of the sources of nutrients in the ecosystem

4) Destruction of habitats

5) Raising of the sea levels and waste waters

6) Displace villages and communities

7) Dams have a potential to create flood risk

8) Dams lead to increased water loss due to evaporation and transpiration

9) Dams causes earthquakes

Explanation:

Dams are a source of renewable energy and are a means to prevent floods, however, dams can also have detrimental impact on the climate and the environment.
