1. Define weight

Physics
1 answer:
andrezito [222]3 years ago
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

taurus [48]

Answer:

31,360J

Explanation:

Gravitation potential energy (gpe) is calculated from the formula mgh.

That implies, gpe = mgh

Therefore substituting the values of m and h as given in the question, knowing in mine that the acceleration due to gravity( g) is 9.8 N/kg, will give 31,360J

Never forget to put your SI units, because even if your answer is numerical correct, it will be incorrect because it represents no physical quantity.

Bright and dark fringes are seen on a screen when light from a single source reaches two narrow slits a short distance apart. Th
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the thickness of the film is t and the refractive index of the material of film is n.

When light travels through a sheet of thickness t, the optical path traveled is nt.

When the path of one of slit is covered by a sheet of thickness t, the optical path becomes

x = ( n - 1) t

As the one fringe is shift, so the optical path changed by one wavelength.

i.e., x = λ

So, λ = ( n - 1) t

t=\frac{\lambda }{n-1}

True or false gravitational pull decreases with an increase of distance between two objects​
ohaa [14]

Answer:

true! : )

(i underlined the place where the answer is the other information is just as important but if you do not want to read it you do not have to)

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases. the greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull. <u>gravitational pull decreases with an increase in the distance between two objects.</u> Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.

Henry, whose mass is 95 kg, stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. The scale reads 830 N for the first 3.8 s after the eleva
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

v= 4.0 m/s

Explanation:

  • When standing on the bathroom scale within the moving elevator, there are two forces acting on Henry's mass: Normal force and gravity.
  • Gravity is always downward, and normal force is perpendicular to the surface on which the mass is located (the bathroom scale), in upward direction.
  • Normal force, can adopt any value needed to match the acceleration of the mass, according to Newton's 2nd Law.
  • Gravity (which we call weight near the Earth's surface) can be  calculated as follows:

       F_{g} = m*g = 95 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 930 N (1)

  • According to Newton's 2nd Law, it must be met the following condition:

       F_{net} = F_{g} -F_{n} = m*a\\  F_{net} = 930 N - 830 N = 100 N = 95 Kg * a

  • As the gravity is larger than normal force, this means that the acceleration is downward, so, we choose this direction as the positive.
  • Solving for a, we get:

       a =\frac{F_{net} }{m} =\frac{100 N}{95 kg} =  1.05 m/s2

  • We can find the speed after the first 3.8 s (assuming a is constant), applying the definition of acceleration as the rate of change of velocity:

        v_{f} = a* t = 1.05 m/s * 3.8 m/s = 4.0 m/s

  • Now, if during the next 3.8 s, normal force is 930 N (same as the weight), this means that both forces are equal each other, so net force is 0.
  • According to Newton's 2nd Law, if net force is 0, the object  is either or at rest, or moving at a constant speed.
  • As the elevator  was moving, the only choice is that it is moving at  a constant speed, the same that it had when the scale was read for the first time, i.e., 4 m/s downward.

Bruno the bat flies at a speed of 0.5 m/s in circle of radius 1 m. What is his acceleration?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Acceleration is 0.25m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed = 0.5m/s

Radius(r) of circle = 1m

Acceleration round a circular path is given as :

a = v^2 / r

Where

a = acceleration of the body

v = speed / velocity

r = radius

Therefore,

a = v^2 / r

a = (0.5)^2 / 1

a = 0.25m/s^2
