Gravity is a force of attraction between objects based on their mass and distance apart. Why aren't other objects, like your pencil, being pulled towards you. Explain reasoning.
A group of engineers has landed on the moon, and they wish to determine the mass of some rocks. Theyhave a spring scale calibrated to read pounds mass at a location where the acceleration of gravity is 32.186 [ft/s2]. One of the moon rocks gives a reading of 18.76 on this scale. What is its mass? What is its weight on the moon? Take gmoon = 5.32 [ft/s2].
Explain Newton's second Law and solve related problems Given a mass of 2.00 kg. Let g = the acceleration due to gravity on Earth in SI units. Which of these expressions will yield the weight of the mass on Earth in SI units? a. zero b. 4g c. 2g d. 0.25g e. 0.20g
To understand Newton's 3rd law, which states that a physical interaction always generates a pair of forces on the two interacting bodies. In Principia, Newton wrote:To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts. (translation by Cajori) The phrase after the colon (often omitted from textbooks) makes it clear that this is a statement about the nature of force. The central idea is that physical interactions (e.g., due to gravity, bodies touching, or electric forces) cause forces to arise between pairs of bodies. Each pairwise interaction produces a pair of opposite forces, one acting on each body. In summary, each physical interaction between two bodies generates a pair of forces. Whatever the physical cause of the interaction, the force on body A from body B is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force on body B from body A.Incidentally, Newton states that…
Newton's Laws includes which of the following? 1.Object in motion stays in motion 2.No external force acts on an object 3.F = m*a 4.Action and suspension
What is the subtle distinction between Newton’s law of inertia and Galileo’s assertion that force is not necessary to sustain horizontal motion? A. Newton gives meaning to the idea of force on a body. B. Galileo simply based his ideas on thought experiments. C. Aristotle’s idea of inertia is more valid than Galileo’s. D. Galileo’s idea of inertia is only for objects in motion.
Calculate the force between two objects that have masses of 2,714 kilograms and 2,167 kilograms separated by a distance of 70 meter. G = 6.67 x 10-11 N\cdot⋅m2/kg2 Answer in scientific notation ( #*10^-#) Answer with 3 significant figures Do NOT include units in your response
1. For each of the following examples, state which of Newton’s Laws apply and explain your answer. a) Astronauts feel pushed back into their seats during launch. b) The force an astronaut exerts on his seat is equal in strength and opposite in direction to the force the seat exerts on the astronaut. c) The force exerted by the rocket engine overcomes the forces of gravity and air resistance, resulting in an upward acceleration of the rocket.
Explain what the concept of force means in physics, why forces are vectors, and the significance of the net force on an object?
A space ship has a mass of 75,000 kg. What net force is required to accelerate it to 20 m/s2 ? Notes: Use 9.8 m/s 2 for the acceleration due to gravity. For Newton's Law calculations, mass must be expressed in kg and velocity must be expressed in m/s.
Draw the free body diagram or figure: Determine the weight of a mass of 10 kg at a location where the acceleration of gravity is 9.77 m/s2.
Why would a 1kg(2.2lb) rock and a 20 kg rock have the same acceleration when dropped? Use Newton’s Second Law in your explanation. Hints: a. The force causing the acceleration is the weight of the rock which equals its mass in kilogram X 9.8 m/s2. b. a=f/m How much more force would you have to apply to a 30 kg block of cement compared to a 10 kg block of cement in order to achieve the same acceleration? Hint: Apply Newton’s Second Law. Give a detailed explanation for both.
