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)☺️)

1 kg ball rolls off a 33 m high cliff, and lands 23 m from the base of the cliff. Express the displacement and the gravitational
enyata [817]

Answer:

d = <23, 33, 0> m ,    F_W = <0, -9.8, 0> ,   W = -323.4 J

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using projectile launch ratios, for the x-axis the displacement is

         x = vox t

Y Axis  

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

It's displacement is

      d = x i ^ + y j ^ + z k ^

Substituting

      d = (23 i ^ + 33 j ^ + 0) m

Using your notation

   d = <23, 33, 0> m

The force of gravity is the weight of the body

         W = m g

        W = 1  9.8 = 9.8 N

In vector notation, in general the upward direction is positive

         W = (0 i ^  - 9.8 j ^ + 0K ^) N

         W = <0, -9.8, 0>

Work is defined

           W = F. dy

             W = F dy cos θ

In this case the force of gravity points downwards and the displacement points upwards, so the angle between the two is 180º

          Cos 180 = -1

           W = -F y

           W = - 9.8 (33-0)

           W = -323.4 J

Does a stove have mechanical energy
Ainat [17]

-- Any object has gravitational potential energy relative to any place
lower than where the object is.  The stove in the kitchen has potential
energy relative to the basement floor.

-- If an object is not moving, then it has no kinetic energy. The stove has
no kinetic energy unless you throw it or drop it out of a window.

From a cliff 37.6 m high. At the level of the sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal distance of 12.12 m. The acceleration of gravi
Aleks [24]

Answer:

4.3 m/sec

Explanation:

Here height of cliff = y = 37.6 m

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/sec2

vi = 0 m/s

Let's find the time which the diver will take if jumps from there!

Using formula

y = vit+1/2gt2

==> 37.6= 0 + 0.5 ×9.8×t^{2}

==>t^{2}= \frac{37.6}{4.9}

==> t = 2.8 sec

In this time the diver has to cover a horizontal distance of 12.12 m

If x = 12.12 m is the horizontal distance to be covered then using

x= Vx × t

==> Vx = x/t

==> Vx= 12.12/2.8 = 4.3 m/s

The average mass of a car in the US is 1.440 x 10^6 g. Express this mass in kg.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Average mass of acar in the US (in kg) = 1440 kg

Explanation:

Average mass of a car in the US (in g) = 1.440 × 10⁶ g

Mass in kg:

\rm 1 \: g =  {10}^{ - 3}  \: kg \\  \\  \rm 1.440 \times 10^6 \ g = 1.440 \times 10^6  \times  {10}^{ - 3} \ kg \\  \\  \rm = 1.440 \times 10^{6 - 3} \ kg \\  \\  \rm = 1.440 \times 10^3 \ kg \\  \\ \rm = 1.440 \times 1000 \ kg \\  \\ \rm = 1440 \ kg
