Question

Consider what happens at the moment when the block leaves the surface of the globe. Which of the following statements are correct?
- The net acceleration of the block is directed straight down.
- The component of the force of gravity toward the center of the globe is equal to the magnitude of the normal force.
- The force of gravity is the only force acting on the block.

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement 1 and 3 are correct.

Explanation:

1. The mass moves  downward, so the net acceleration of the block is straight downward.

2.The mass is sliding through the globe, so only the force of gravity is acting on the mass which pulls it in downward direction. The force of gravity has two components [mg sin∅] and [mg cos∅].

Answer 2

The block leaving the surface of the globe will lead to the following:

• The net acceleration of the block is directed straight down.

• The force of gravity is the only force acting on the block.

What is Gravity?

This is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects and is a force of attraction which helps keep planets and other bodies towards the center.

A block leaving the surface will mean an increase in the gravitational force and net acceleration will be directed downwards so it falls.
