Earth as the earth has a higher mass and therefore a higher gravitational force upon the object.

Answer:

Force of Earth will be dominating and the object will fall towards Earth

Explanation:

As we know that

Mass of Earth

M_e = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

Mass of Moon

M_m = 7.35 \times 10^{22} kg

since we know that gravitational force depends on mass and the distance between two objects

so here if an object is placed midway between Moon and Earth then as we can see that mass of Earth is approx 100 times more than the mass of Moon

So here we can say that Force of Earth will be dominating and the object will fall towards Earth

A 5 kg rock is raised 28 m above the ground level. What is the change in its potential energy?
marin [14]
Let's assume that ground level is the height 0 meters. The change in potential energy is going to be gravitational potential energy, which is given by PE=mgh.
ΔPE=mgh-mgy
=mg(h-y)
=50(28-0)
=1400 J

Complete Question

A football coach walks 18 meters westward, then 12 meters eastward, then 28 meters westward, and finally 14 meters eastward.

a

From this motion what is the distance covered

b

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement

Answer:

a

  D =   72 \  m

b

Magnitude

             d =  - 20 \ m

 Direction  

West

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance covered westward is d_w_1  =  18 \  m /tex]     The  first distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e1 =  12 \  m /tex]      The second distance covered westward is [tex]d_w_2  =  28 \  m /tex]      The  second distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e2 =  14 \  m /tex]   Generally the distance covered is mathematically represented as       [tex]D =  d_w1 + d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=> D =   18 + 28 + 12 +  14

=> D =   72 \  m

For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative

The magnitude of the displacement is

d =  -d_w1 -d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=>  d =  -18-28 + 12 + 14

=> d =  - 20 \ m

The direction is west

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Multiplexer

Explanation:

-In electronics, a multiplexer, also known as a data, is a device that selects between several analog or digital input signals and forwards it to a single output line.

-This device combines multiple circuits at one end of a connection into a single complex circuit on a single wire.

-The selected signals is then transmitted at a higher speed.

A piece of rope is pulled by two people in a tug-of-war. each exerts a 400-n force. what is the tension in the rope?
Leokris [45]
Newtons 3.law: Action = Reaction

If a body exerts a force on a rope of 400 N the rope exerts a force on the body of 400N also. So the tension in the rope is 400N. See pictures below.

A small 12.00 g plastic ball is suspended by a string in a uniform, horizontal electric field. If the ball is in equilibrium whe
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Q = \frac{0.068}{E}

where E = electric field intensity

Explanation:

As we know that plastic ball is suspended by a string which makes 30 degree angle with the vertical

So here force due to electrostatic force on the charged ball is in horizontal direction along the direction of electric field

while weight of the ball is vertically downwards

so here we have

QE = F_x

mg = F_y

since string makes 30 degree angle with the vertical so we will have

tan\theta = \frac{F_x}{F_y}

tan30 = \frac{QE}{mg}

Q = \frac{mg}{E}tan30

Q = \frac{0.012\times 9.81}{E} tan30

Q = \frac{0.068}{E}

where E = electric field intensity
