Apply Newton’s second law to calculate the frictional force needed to hold a 15 g pen in your fingers and keep it from falling

Physics

Answer:

0.1962N.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, so we use newtons second law which states F=ma. So the weight of a watermelon on earth is 2kg x 9.81m/s², which is 19.62N (newtons). On the moon it weighs 2 x 1.63 which is 3.26N.

The weight of the pen is 0.02 x 9.81, which is 0.1962N. If the pen is not to fall the frictional force needs to be equal to this force,

so the answer is 0.1962N.

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Astronaut mark uri is space-traveling from planet x to planet y at a speed of relative to the planets, which are at rest relativ
lyudmila [28]
<span>From the point of view of the astronaut, he travels between planets with a speed of 0.6c. His distance between the planets is less than the other bodies around him and so by applying Lorentz factor, we have 2*</span>√1-0.6² = 1.6 light hours. On the other hand, from the point of view of the other bodies, time for them is slower. For the bodies, they have to wait for about 1/0.6 = 1.67 light hours while for him it is 1/(0.8) = 1.25 light hours. The remaining distance for the astronaut would be 1.67 - 1.25 = 0.42 light hours. And then, light travels in all frames and so the astronaut will see that the flash from the second planet after 0.42 light hours and from the 1.25 light hours is, 1.25 - 0.42 = 0.83 light hours or 49.8 minutes.

Explain how this happens?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

When the polythene rod is rubbed with the woolen cloth, static electric charges move from the cloth and into the rod. The rod becomes negatively charged as negative charges move from the cloth and into the rod leaving the cloth positively charged as well.
