Denise is conducting a physics experiment to measure the acceleration of a falling object when it slows down and comes to a stop

. She drops a wooden block with a mass of 0.5 kilograms on a sensor on the floor. The sensor measures the force of the impact as 4.9 newtons. What’s the acceleration of the wooden block when it hits the sensor? Use F = ma.

To calculate the acceleration of the wooden block, we use the expression F=ma where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration. We calculate as follows:

F = ma
4.9 = 0.5a
a = 9.8 

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Decreasing the distance between Hox and Blox, increasing the mass of Hox, or increasing the mass of Hox and Blox.

Explanation:

The gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

Or

If we decrease the distance between both planets (Hox and Blox), the gravitational pull between them will increase.  

On the other hand, if we keep the distance between Hox and Blox, but we increase the mass of one of them, or increase the mass of both, the gravitational pull between them will also increase.

In a movie, Tarzan evades his captors by hiding under water for many minutes while breathing through a long, thin reed. Assume t
gladu [14]

Answer: 0.98m

Explanation:

P = -74 mm Hg = 9605 Pa = 9709N/m^2

= 9605 kg m/s^2/m^2

density of water: rho = 1 g/cc = 1 (10^-3 kg)/(10^-2 m)^-3 = 1000 kg/m^3

Pressure equation: P = rho g h

h = P/(rho g)

h = (9605 kg/m/s^2) / (1000 kg/m^3) / (9.8 m/s^2)

h = 0.98 m

0.98m is the maximum depth he could have been.

As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of Earth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC

Explanation:

The magnitude of Electric potential is given as;

V = kq/r

where;

V is the electric potential in volts

k is coulomb's constant

r is the radius of the sphere or distance moved by the charge

given;  V = -1.1 V, k = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C², r = 10m

Substituting this values in the above equation, we estimate the amount of charge space shuttle collects.

q = (V*r)/k

q = (-1.1 *10)/(8.99 x 10⁹ )

q = -1.224 X 10⁻⁹ C

q = -1.224nC

Therefore, the amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC

What’s the equation that links with total input, efficiency, energy and useful output energy transfer
weqwewe [10]

Efficiency. The ratio of energy which was transferred to a useful form compared to the total energy initially supplied is called the efficiency of the device. Efficiencies can be written as decimals like 0.33 or percentages 33%. To convert a efficiency expressed as a decimal to a percentage you need to multiply by 100.
