This question involves the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's third law of motion.

The support force will be "1 pound" for the empty bucket and the support force will be "6 pounds" after pouring water into it.

  • According to the condition of equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on a stationary object must be zero. Hence, the support force of the table will be equal to the total mass of the bucket.
  • According to Newton's Third Law of Motion every action force has an equal but opposite reaction force. Hence, the support force will be a reaction force to the weight of the bucket.

Therefore, the support force in each case will be equal to the total mass of the bucket:

Case 1 (empty bucket):

<u>support force = 1 pound</u>

<u></u>

Case 1 (water poured):

support force = 1 pound + 5 pound

<u>support force = 6 pound</u>

<u></u>

The bodies in this universe attract one another name the scientist who propounded this statement​
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

It was proposed by Isaac Newton

Explanation:

The law of universal attraction of expression

          F = G \ \frac{m_1m_2}{ r^2}G m1m2 / r ^ 2

where G is a constant, m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the bodies and r the distance between them.

It was proposed by Isaac Newton

With this law Newton explained that the force that pulls the moon towards the earth is the same as that which attracts an apple towards the earth

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr
Leviafan [203]

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration a=g=9.8 m/s^2 directed downward, initial vertical position d=750 m, and initial vertical velocity v_0 = 0. We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad

substituting, we find

v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting v_f with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

v_f^2-v_i^2=2ad\\d=\frac{v_f^2}{2a}=\frac{(60.6 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=187.4 m

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

h=750 m-187.4 m=562.6 m
