The weight of the object on pluto will be 15.56 N

<h3>What is Newton's law of gravitation?</h3>

Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.

Given data;

\rm g_e is the acceleration due to gravity on earth.

m is the mass of an object

\rm g_p is the acceleration due to gravity on pluto.

\rm W_e is the weight of the object on earth

\rm W_ p is the weight of an object on pluto

The mass of the object on the earth's surface is found as;

We = m × ge

m = W / ge

m = 250 / 9.81

m = 25.51  kg

The weight of the object on pluto.

Wp = m × gp

Wp = 25.51  kg × 0.61  m/s²

Wp =15.56 N.

Hence the weight of the object on pluto will be 15.56 N

"When Baby Ian is held horizontally on his back, he sometimes makes an embracing motion by arching his back, extending his legs,
Burka [1]

Answer:

Moro reflex  

Explanation:

The baby has a series of reflexes in its first months of life and they are very important for the good development of the little ones. One of them is the Moro Reflex. In this reflection, the baby spreads his arms wide, stretches his legs and extends his neck. Moro's reflex begins from birth and continues until about four months of the baby. It occurs when the baby abruptly shifts position or falls backwards or feels in an insecure position, at which time the baby makes a hug movement by arching his back, extending his legs, throwing his arms out and then bringing his arms. towards the body.

You throw a glove straight upward to celebrate a victory. Its initial kinetic energy is K and it reaches a maximum height h. Wha
Rasek [7]

Answer:

K/2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is a constant at any point.

At maximum height, the glove has purely potential energy but at the bottom, it has purely kinetic energy.

The potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom. The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

At half height, this potential energy is

PE = \frac{1}{2}mgh

At this height, PE + KE = Constant = KE at bottom or PE at maximum height.

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mgh +KE

KE = \frac{1}{2}mgh = K/2

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b) True.    the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

     fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

     fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

     (G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

      fr - w = 0

      fr = mg

      (G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

     G v = mg

     v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight

If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. The particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. Another way to look at this is that the magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle. The particle’s kinetic energy and speed thus remain constant. The direction of motion is affected but not the speed.

A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the paper (represented by the small × ’s—like the tails of arrows). The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude. The result is uniform circular motion.
