When the body touches the ground two types of Forces will be generated. The Force product of the weight and the Normal Force. This is basically explained in Newton's third law in which we have that for every action there must also be a reaction. If the Force of the weight is pointing towards the earth, the reaction Force of the block will be opposite, that is, upwards and will be equivalent to its weight:

F = mg

Where,

m = mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

F = 5*9.8

F = 49N

Therefore the correct answer is E.

A factory robot drops a 10 kg computer onto a conveyor belt running at 3.1 m/s. The materials are such that
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Option (c) will be correct answer that is it will go 1.6 m

Explanation:

We have given that conveyor has the velocity u = 3.1 m/sec

Mass of the robot = 10 kg

static friction coefficient  = 0.5 and kinetic friction coefficient = 0.3

Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/sec^2

Acceleration a = kinetic friction coefficient ×g = 0.3×9.8 = 2.94m/sec^2

Now according to third equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

Finally velocity of the conveyor will be zero

So 0^2=3.1^2-2\times 2.94\times s

s = 1.6 m

So option (c) is correct option

A man runs at a velocity of 4.5 m/s for 15.0 min. When going up an increasingly steep hill, he slows down at a constant rate of
madreJ [45]

The man ran  <u>4252.5 meters.</u>

Why?

To solve the problem, we need to divide the exercise into two movements, the first on while the was running at 4.5 m/s for 15 min, and then, while he was slowing down (going up because of the hill).

First movement: Running at 4.5 m/s for 15 min.

We need convert from minutes to seconds,

1min=60seconds\\\\15min*\frac{60seconds}{1min}=900seconds

Now, calculating the distance covered for the first movement, we have:

x_{1}=0+v_{1}*t_{1}\\\\x_{1}=4.5\frac{m}{s}*900s=4050m

So, we know that the man covered 4050m for the first movement, it will be our initial position for the second movement.

Second movement:  acceleration -0.05m/s^2 (because he's slowing down) for 90 seconds, at 4.5m/s.

x_{2}=x_{1}+v_{1}*t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}\\\\x_{2}=4050m+4.5m\frac{m}{s}*90seconds-\frac{1}{2}*(0.05\frac{m}{s^{2}})*(90s)^{2}\\\\x_{2}=4050m+405m-(0.5*0.05\frac{m}{s^{2}}*8100s^{2})=4050m+405m-202.5m\\\\x_{2}=4252.5m

Hence, we have that he ran 4252.5 m.

Have a nice day!

A steel plate shine but wooden vessel desnt
Tcecarenko [31]

<u>Answer</u> :

A new steel plate shines but an wooden vessel does not shine because new steel plate has lustre. ... Because steel absorbs very little amount of light and reflects back the light but in case of wooden vessel it has dull appearence and reflects very little amount of light so it does not shine.

Please mark as brainliest. . . ☺
