Answer:

2014.44 N

Explanation:

mass of spacecraft, m = 1850 kg

distance r = 3 x R

where r be the radius of earth.

g be the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth and g' be the acceleration due to gravity at height

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{r}  \right )^{2}

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{3R}  \right )^{2}

g' = g / 9

g' = 9.8 / 9 = 1.089 m/s²

Force of gravity on the space craft

F = m g' = 1850 x 1.089

F = 2014.44 N

Thus, the force of gravity on the space craft at height is 2014.44 N.

Block B has mass 6.00 kg and sits at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block A has mass 2.50 kg and sits at rest on to
zzz [600]

Answer:

Explanation:

Block A sits on block B and force is applied on block A . Block A will experience two forces 1) force P and 2 )  friction force in opposite direction of motion . Block B will experience one force that is force of friction in the direction of motion .

Let force on block A be P . friction force on it will be equal to kinetic friction, that is μ mg , where μ is coefficient of friction and m is mass of block A

friction force = .4 x 2.5 x 9.8

= 9.8 N

net force on block A = P - 9.8

acceleration = ( P - 9.8 ) / 2.5

force on block B = 9.8

acceleration = force / mass

= 9.8 / 6

for common acceleration

( P - 9.8 ) / 2.5  = 9.8 / 6

( P - 9.8 ) / 2.5 = 1.63333

P = 13.88 N .
