<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>

If this is happening on Earth, then the force of gravity between the Earth and the brick is 98 Newtons. It doesn't matter whether the brick is falling, rising, dropped in a vacuum, in water, or into chicken soup, or what else is dropped near it. None of that has any effect on the gravitational force between the Earth and the brick.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Wycleff is on block 1, Lilly is on block 4, Emilia is on block 12, and Quincy is on block 17.

Explanation:

Wycleff was at block 1 and heard a low pitch sound the whole time, so the police car must have been moving away from him.

Lilly observed was in block 4 change in pitch first.  So the car must have passed her first.

Emilia was at block 12 observed a Doppler effect after Lilly.  So the car passed her after passing Lilly

Quincy was at block 17 so she heard a high pitch sound the whole time, so the police car must have been moving toward him.

You perform nine (identical) measurements of the acceleration of gravity (units of m/s2): 10.1,9.87, 9.76, 9.91, 9.75, 9.88, 9.6
AveGali [126]

Answer:

0.01

Explanation:

Given the data:

10.1,9.87, 9.76, 9.91, 9.75, 9.88, 9.69, 9.83, 9.90

True value = 9.81

Mean value :

Σx / n

Sample size, n = 9

(10.1 + 9.87 + 9.76 + 9.91 + 9.75 + 9.88 + 9.69 + 9.83 + 9.90) / 9

= 88.69 / 9

= 9.854

Standard deviation (σ) :

Sqrt (Σ(X - m)² / n)

[(10.1 - 9.854)^2 + (9.87 - 9.854)^2 + (9.76 - 9.854)^2 + (9.91 - 9.854)^2 + (9.75 - 9.854)^2 + (9.88 - 9.854)^2 + (9.69 - 9.854)^2 + (9.83 - 9.854)^2 + (9.90 - 9.854)^2] / 9

Sqrt(0.113824 / 9)

Sqrt(0.0126471)

σ = 0.1124593

Standard Error = σ / sqrt(n)

Standard Error = 0.1124593 / 9

Standard Error = 0.0124954

Standard Error = 0.01 ( 1 significant digit)

When a 75 kg man sits on the stool, by what percent does the length of the legs decrease? assume, for simplicity, that the stool
NeTakaya
First, let's find the total force exerted by the man on the stool.

F = mg
F = (75 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
F = 735.75 N

Next, we must know the maximum load the stool can take. Suppose, the it can take up to 700 N. Since each leg of the stool takes an equal amount of force, this is uniformly distributed. So, the solution is as follows:

Percentage = [(735.75- 700)/700]*100 =<em> 5.1%</em>
