<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.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

By 16.7% or 0.167 IPM

Explanation:

Substracting the final IPM (6.088) to the initial IPM (5.921) gives us the net difference, which is how much did it increase in IPM. Multiplying this number by 100 gives us the percentual increase in the feed rate.

The velocity versus time graph of particle A is tangent to the velocity versus time graph for particle B at point O. What is the

lara [203]

As velocities are tangent, the value of both Particle A and Particle B would be same for that point O (Intersecting point)

a = v / t
Here, v = 7, t = 6
So, a = 7/6
a = 1.17
As the graph is decreasing, value of acceleration would be negative.
So, a = -1.17 m/s²

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

A small cylinder rests on a circular turntable that is rotating clockwise at a constant speed. Which set of vectors gives the di

I am Lyosha [343]

The question is missing the diagram. Also, the choices must have pictorial representation. So, I have attached the missing diagram and the pictorial representation of the vectors.

Answer:

The correct representation is attached below. Force and acceleration will be towards the center of rotation while the velocity will be along the tangent to the circular motion. <u>Option (D).</u>

Explanation:

From the figure, we can conclude the following points:

1. The cylinder is under a uniform circular motion as the circular table is moving at constant speed.

2. For a circular motion, velocity acts along the tangent to the circular path.

3. For a circular motion, centripetal force acts on the body that causes it move around a circular path.

4 The direction of the centripetal force is radially inward towards the center of rotation.

5. The centripetal force causes a centripetal acceleration acting on the body.

6. From Newton's second law, the net acceleration of a body is in the same direction as that of the net force acting on it. So, centripetal acceleration also acts in the radially inward direction.

Therefore, from the above conclusions, it is clear that velocity will act in the horizontal direction at the given instance of time and force and acceleration will act vertically down for the given instance.

This is shown in the picture below. The option (D).
