Answer:

There is absolutely No relationship between the weight of an object (which is constant) and the frictional force. If a block is sliding on a surface, that surface will be exerting a force on the block. That force can be resolved into a component parallel to the surface (which we call the frictional component), and a component perpendicular to the surface (called the normal component). For many situations, we find experimentally that the frictional component is approximately proportional to the normal component. The frictional component divided by the normal component is defined to be a quantity called the coefficient of kinetic or sliding friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction obviously depends on the nature of the surfaces involved. The normal component on an object can be decreased if you pull in the direction of the normal component (the weight does not change). However pulling this way on the object not only decreases the normal component, but it also decreases the frictional component since they are proportional. This is why it is easier to slide something if you pull up on it while you push it. If you push down, the normal and frictional components increase so it is harder to slide the object. The weight of an object is the downward force exerted by Earth’s gravity on that object, and it does not change no matter how you push or pull on the object.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Force is the product of mass and acceleration .
The question is ask to find acceleration.
But acceleration is the ratio of the force and the mass.
where 600kg is the mass and 7kN is the force
NB: kilo is 1000
now we have to multiply 7N by 1000
by doing so you will have 7000N
which is the force.
Now to find the acceleration: force/ mass
which is 7000/600
therefore the maximum acceleration is 11.667

Explain why some people see objects nearby clearly, but objects far away appear blurry. Also, explain how this condition can be
Maru [420]

Myopia

Explanation:

myopia is a common vision condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to refract incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina. It can be corrected corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.

the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. After 11,460 year, how much of original carbon-14 remains?
Inessa [10]

Via the half-life equation:

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}

Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{11460}{5730} \\\\A_{final}=A_{initial}\frac{1}{4} \\\\A_{final}=\frac{1}{4}A_{initial}

Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.

A person pulls a bucket of water up from a well with a rope. Assume the initial and final speeds of the bucket are zero (Vi-Vf-0
n200080 [17]

Answer:

a

This a closed system because the mass of the system is conserved

The energy system that undergoes change is the Potential energy system

The energy system diagram is shown on the first uploaded image

b

Work done = Change in gravitational potential energy

So solving algebraically for work done would be

    Work done   = m*g*h

where m is mass

          g is acceleration due to gravity

          and h is the height

c

Work done in terms of force and distance is = mg

where  m is mass of bucket and

            g is acceleration due to gravity  

Explanation:

a) At the start, potential and kinetic energy were zero. so, energy is zero.

As the person pulls the bucket up, the potential energy becomes mgh.

so,final energy will be consisting of only potential energy.

B) Here work done is equal to change in gravitational potential energy.

W = \Delta P.E

W = m*g*h

where g = 9.9 m/s^2

C) Work = force * distance

mgh = force * h

force = mg

force = weight of bucket

Can you explain that gravity pulls us to the Earth & can you calculate weight from masses on both on Earth and other planets
schepotkina [342]
I don't actually understand what your question is, but I'll dance around the subject
for a while, and hope that you get something out of it.

-- The effect of gravity is:  There's a <em>pair</em> of forces, <em>in both directions</em>, between
every two masses.

-- The strength of the force depends on the <em>product</em> of the masses, so it doesn't matter whether there's a big one and a small one, or whether they're nearly equal. 
It's the product that counts.  Bigger product ==> stronger force, in direct proportion.

-- The strength of the forces also depends on the distance between the objects' centers.  More distance => weaker force.  Actually, (more distance)² ==> weaker force.

-- The forces are <em>equal in both directions</em>.  Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to
the Earth's weight on you.  You can prove that.  Turn your bathroom scale face down
and stand on it.  Now it's measuring the force that attracts the Earth toward you. 
If you put a little mirror down under the numbers, you'll see that it's the same as
the force that attracts you toward the Earth when the scale is right-side-up.

-- When you (or a ball) are up on the roof and step off, the force of gravity that pulls
you (or the ball) toward the Earth causes you (or the ball) to accelerate (fall) toward the Earth. 
Also, the force that attracts the Earth toward you (or the ball) causes the Earth to accelerate (fall) toward you (or the ball).
The forces are equal.  But since the Earth has more mass than you have, you accelerate toward the Earth faster than the Earth accelerates toward you.

--  This works exactly the same for every pair of masses in the universe.  Gravity
is everywhere.  You can't turn it off, and you can't shield anything from it.

-- Sometimes you'll hear about some mysterious way to "defy gravity".  It's not possible to 'defy' gravity, but since we know that it's there, we can work with it.
If we want to move something in the opposite direction from where gravity is pulling it, all we need to do is provide a force in that direction that's stronger than the force of gravity.
I know that sounds complicated, so here are a few examples of how we do it:
-- use arm-muscle force to pick a book UP off the table
-- use leg-muscle force to move your whole body UP the stairs
-- use buoyant force to LIFT a helium balloon or a hot-air balloon 
-- use the force of air resistance to LIFT an airplane.

-- The weight of 1 kilogram of mass on or near the Earth is 9.8 newtons.  (That's
about 2.205 pounds).  The same kilogram of mass has different weights on other planets. Wherever it is, we only know one of the masses ... the kilogram.  In order
to figure out what it weighs there, we need to know the mass of the planet, and
the distance between the kilogram and the center of the planet.

I hope I told you something that you were actually looking for.
