No.
East-force can only be balanced by west-force.
North-force has no west-force in it, no matter how strong it is.

Write a hypothesis about how the height of the cylinder affects the temperature of the water. Use the "if . . . then . . . becau

AnnyKZ [126]

The statement that can be used to answer this question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.

Calculate the force of Earth’s gravity on a spacecraft 2.00 Earth radii above the Earth’s surface (That would be 3.00 Earth radi

igomit [66]

Answer:

2014.44 N

Explanation:

mass of spacecraft, m = 1850 kg

distance r = 3 x R

where r be the radius of earth.

g be the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth and g' be the acceleration due to gravity at height

$\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{r} \right )^{2}$

$\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{3R} \right )^{2}$

g' = g / 9

g' = 9.8 / 9 = 1.089 m/s²

Force of gravity on the space craft

F = m g' = 1850 x 1.089

F = 2014.44 N

Thus, the force of gravity on the space craft at height is 2014.44 N.

A woman is applying 300N/m2 of pressure on to door with her hand. Her hand has area of 0.02m2. Work out the force being applied

never [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

Pressure = $\frac{force}{area}$

Force = Pressure x area

Force = 300 x 0.02 = 6N
