The acceleration of gravity is inversely proportional to
the square of the distance from Earth's center.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² on the Earth's surface ...
6380 km from the center.

If the acceleration of gravity at 'h' is 4.9 m/s² ... 1/2 of what it is
on the surface, then the distance from the center is

                 (6380 x √2) =  9,023 km  (rounded) ,

and 'h' is the distance above the surface

                     = (9,023 - 6,380) =  2,643 km  (rounded) .

if you were to increase either mass or speed by a unit of 1 in a joules calculation, which would give you more energy?
musickatia [10]

Answer:increasing any of them, either mass or speed by 1unit will cause an increase in energy,

Explanation:

By increasing any of them, either mass or speed will cause an increase in energy.

Because kinetic energy is proportional to mass and also directly proportional to velocity

What is the acceleration of this object? The object's mass is 60 kg.
Licemer1 [7]
First determine the net force. Let's say the downwards force is negative and the upwards force is positive.
Since the forces act in opposite directions, the net force would be:
400N - 600N = -200N

Since I said negative is downwards, this translates to the net force being 200N downwards.

Force = mass*acceleration
200N = 60kg * acceleration
acceleration = 3.33 m/s^2

A father pushes his child on a swing. He pushes with a force of 20 N or a distance of 1 m, with the force always maintained para
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

20 Joules

Explanation:

Work is done whenever a force moves a body through a certain distance in the direction of the force. So, work done is the product of force and distance moved.

Therefore, we have;

Work done = Force x distance

i.e   Wd = Fs

Given that: F = 20 N and s = 1 m, then;

Wd = 20 N x 1 m

     = 20 Nm

The work done by the father is 20 Joules(Nm).
