• Objects “fall” toward the center of Earth. (TRUE)

Since the gravitational force between earth and any object is always along the line joining the centers of two so all the objects near the surface of earth will always feel force towards the centre of the earth due to gravity.

• Objects are pulled by Earth but do not pull on Earth. (FALSE)

Since gravitational force will always follow Newton's III law as per which every action has equal and opposite reaction force so object near the surface of earth will also pull the earth as earth is pulling the object towards the center.

• Objects accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s each second. (TRUE)

Since acceleration due to gravity of Earth is 9.8 m/s^2 so here we can say that all objects near the surface of earth will accelerate towards the center of earth at rate of 9.8 m/s^2 due to gravitational pull.

• Objects travel at a rate of 9.8 m/s to are the center of Earth. (FALSE)

Since earth is pulling all objects near its surface with gravitational force so objects can not move at constant speed but it will move with constant acceleration.

• Objects are pulled by Earth more strongly than they pull on Earth. (FALSE)

Since gravitational force will always follow Newton's III law which say every action has equal and opposite reaction so we can say that force due to all objects on earth will be same as the force of earth on the object.

How much force is needed to stop a body of mass 10kg

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Force of 100 N will be needed.

Explanation:

$Force, F = m \times g$

g is acceleration due to gravity

m is the mass

$F = (10 \times 10) \\ F = 100 \: newtons$

By what factor will the acceleration of an object change its mass stays constant but the force acting on it triples

Viktor [21]

Answer:

lacceleration is given by

a=F/m

With force acting on the object remained constant ,the acceleration is inversly proportional to mass of the object i.e with increase in mass =>acceleration decreases and with decrease in mass => acceleration increases.

acceleration decreases

acceleration increase

HELP... 3.00 amu = _____ Mev. 3.22 x 10-3 2.79 x 103 3.10 x 102

DanielleElmas [232]

The correct answer is:
$2.79 \cdot 10^3 MeV$
Let's see why.

1 amu corresponds to the mass of the proton, which is:
$m_p = 1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg$
if we convert this into energy, using Einstein equivalence between mass and energy, we find:
$E=mc^2 = (1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.49 \cdot 10^{-10} J$
Now we can convert it into electronvolts:
$E= \frac{1.49 \cdot 10^{-10}kg}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J/eV} =9.34 \cdot 10^9 eV = 934 MeV$

So, 1 amu = 934 MeV. Therefore, 3 amu corresponds to 3 times this value:
$3 amu = 3 \cdot 934 MeV \sim 2790 MeV = 2.79 \cdot 10^3 MeV$

You are in the frozen food section of the grocery store and you notice that your hand gets cold when you place it on the glass w

Simora [160]

Answer:

I think my friend got it all wrong, as coolness can not be transferred but heat was actually transferred between my hand and the glass windows

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, coolness can not be transferred, only heat can be transferred

Here is how the mechanism of why i felt cold works, my body gave out heat, hence there was heat transfer from a region of high to a low heat region, equilibrium was reached and I started feeling the coolness in my hands.
