The force exerted on the pumpkin by

the wall is 600N.

HOW TO CALCULATE FORCE:

The force exerted by the wall on the pumpkin can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the pumpkin by the acceleration.

However, the acceleration of the pumpkin needs to be calculated by the following expression:

a = (v - u)/t

Where;

a = acceleration (m/s²)
v = final velocity (15m/s)
u = initial velocity (0m/s)
t = time (0.05s)

a = (15 - 0)/0.05

a = 15/0.05

a = 300m/s²

F = 2kg × 300m/s²

F = 600N

Therefore, the force exerted on the pumpkin by the wall is 600N.

In the combo circuit diagrammed, R1 = 19.2 Ω, R2 = 20.7 Ω, and R3 = 25.8 Ω. Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Equivalent resistance: 13.589 Ω

Explanation:

R series = R1 + R2 + R3 ...

$\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2} +\frac{1}{R3} ...$

Find the equivalent resistance of the right branch of the circuit:

$R_{eq} = R_{2} +R_{3} \\R_{eq} = 20.7 + 25.8 = 46.5 ohms$

$\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{19.2} +\frac{1}{46.5}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = 0.0735887097\\\\R_{eq} = 13.5890411$

Imagine an infinite earth with a hole dripped through it. You fall in and accelerate at g~10m/s/s. How long until you reach the

Soloha48 [4]

An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds

The planet Mars has much less gravitational force that Earth. What would happen if you went to Mars?

vovangra [49]

gravitational force of planet exerted on its object near the surface is known as weight

so here we know that gravitational force of mars is much less than the gravitational force of Earth

So on the surface of mars the Weight of objects must be much less than the weight of object on surface of Earth

so here correct answer must be

<em>D. Your weight would decrease.</em>
