From the calculations, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is 0.38 m/s^2.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

The weight of an object is obtained as the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus;

When;

mass = 120 kg

weight =  46 N

acceleration due to gravity = 46 N/120 kg

=0.38 m/s^2

The volume of a cylindrical tin can with a top and a bottom is to be 16π cubic inches. If a minimum amount of tin is to be used
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

h = 4 in

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

volume of tin= 16 \pi

we know that

volume of cylinder is v = \pi r^2  h

so,

16 \pi = \pi r^2 h

16 = r^2 h

r = \sqrt{\frac{16}{h}}

construct formula for surface area

S = 2\pi r^2 +  2\pi rh

S = \frac{2v}{h} + 2 \sqrt{v \pi h}

minimize the function wrt  h

S' = \frac{2v}{h^2} + \sqrt{\frac{v \pi}{h} =  0

solving for h we have

h = [\frac{4 v}{\pi}]^{1/3}

we kow v = 16 \pi   so

h = 4 in

"My distance to the center of the earth is about 4000 miles when I am on the surface. If I go to a height of 8000 miles above th
lord [1]

Given,

Distance from the surface to the center of the earth, d=4000 miles

Distance from the center to you at a height of 8000 miles, a= 8000+4000=12000 miles

The gravitational force acting on a person at the surface is equal to his weight.

From Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force is

F=\frac{G\times M\times m}{r^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the object/person, r is the distance between the center of the earth and the object/person

At the surface, this force is equal to the weight of the person, W=mg

i.e.

F_s=\frac{G\times M\times m}{d^2}=W

On substituting the of d,

W=\frac{\text{GMm}}{4000^2}

At a height of 8000 miles from the surface, the gravitational force is equal to,

F_a=\frac{GMm}{12000^2}

On dividing the above two equations,

\frac{F_a}{W}=\frac{4000^2^{}}{12000^2}=\frac{1}{9}

Therefore,

F_a=\frac{1}{9}W

Therefore at a height of 8000 miles above the surface of the earth, the force of gravity becomes 1/9 time your weight.

While playing football, Chris runs 4.5 m at 20⁰ south of west. If an opponent was trying to tackle him how far west and south wo
rewona [7]

Answer:

South = 1.5m

West =4.2m

Explanation:

Kindly see attached a rough draft of the situation

Step one

Given data

From the sketch the direction of the player is along the resultant of the triangle, corresponding to the Hypotenuse

Step two:

Hence for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

sin θ= opp/hyp

sin 20=x/4.5

x=sin 20*4.5

x=0.342*4.5

x= 1.5m

Also, for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

cos θ= adj/hyp

cos 20=y/4.5

y=cos 20*4.5

y=0.93*4.5

y= 4.2m

A spiral spring of 8cm extended to 9.2cm when a load of 1.6N is applied. what is the force constant of the spring, provided the
DerKrebs [107]

Explanation:

By Hooke's Law, Fe = kx.

Since Fe = 1.6N and x = 9.2cm - 8cm = 1.2cm,

k = Fe/x = 1.6N/1.2cm = 1.33N/cm.
