The 1kg ball would exert the smallest force.

As force = mass x gravity, this means that the smaller the mass (kg), the lesser the force.

When the mass is lighter (1kg):

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 1 x 9.8
Force = 9.8N

Compared to when the mass is heavier (10kg)

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 10 x 9.8
Force = 98N

Where this proves that the lighter the mass, the smaller the force exerted.

How do I know if i’m doing number 2 right?

Ksju [112]

We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.

Two resistors, A and B, are connected in series to a 6.0 V battery. A voltmeter connected across resistor A measures a potential

mestny [16]

Answer:

Resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω

Explanation:

When the two resistors are in series, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B.

Given that V₁ + V₂ = 6.0 V and V₁ = 4.0 V,

V₂ = 6.0 V - V₁ = 6.0 V - 4.0 V = 2.0 V

Also, let the current in series be I.

So, V₁ = IR₁ and V₂ = IR₂

I = V₁/R₁ and I = V₂/R₂

equating both expressions, we have

V₁/R₁ = V₂/R₂

4.0 V/R₁ = 2.0 V/R₂

dividing through by 2.0 V, we have

2/R₁ = 1/R₂

taking the reciprocal, we have

R₂ = R₁/2

R₁ = 2R₂

From the parallel connection, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B. Since it is parallel, V₁ = V₂ = V = 6.0 V

Also, V₂ = I₂R₂ where I₂ = current in resistor B = 2.0 A and R₂ = resistance of resistor B

So, R₂ = V₂/I₂

= 6.0 V/2.0 A

= 3.0 Ω

R₁ = 2R₂

= 2(3.0 Ω)

= 6.0 Ω

So, resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω

The size (radius) of an oxygen molecule is about 2.0 ×10−10 m. Make a rough estimate of the pressure at which the finite volume

timurjin [86]

Answer:

P = 1 x 10⁸ Pa

Explanation:

given,

radius = 2.0 ×10⁻¹⁰ m

Temperature

T = 300 K

Volume of gas molecule =

$V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi (2\times 10^{-10})^3$

V = 33.51 x 10⁻³⁰ m³

we know,

P V = 1 . k T

k = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K

P(33.51 x 10⁻³⁰) = 1 . (1.38 x 10⁻²³) x 300

P = 1.235 x 10⁸ Pa

for 1 significant figure

P = 1 x 10⁸ Pa

A bus travels 280 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 88 km/h to the south. The bus stops for 24 min, the

IgorC [24]

Answer:

76.78 km/h To calculate the average velocity for the total trip, you need to first determine the total distance traveled and the total time taken. First, let's calculate the total distance traveled. The trip consists of 2 legs. The 1st leg is 280 km and the 2nd leg is 210 km. So the total distance is 280 km + 210 km = 490 km. Now you need to calculate the total time taken. For this problem, there are 3 intervals that need to be accounted for. The travel time for the 1st leg, the duration of the rest stop in the middle, and the travel time for the 2nd leg. The travel time for both legs is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the average speed. So for the first leg we have 280 km / (88 km / h) = 3.181818 h The 2nd leg is 210 km / (75 km/h) = 2.8 h The rest stop in hours is 24 min / (60 min/h) = 0.4 h The total time is 3.181818 h + 2.8 h + 0.4 h = 6.381818 h The average velocity is the distance divided by the time, giving: 490 km / (6.381818 h) = 76.78 km/h

Hope this helps!!
