Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by:

W=Fdcos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement.

In this problem, we are asked to find the work done by gravity, so we must calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity first, which is equal to the weight of the object:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

The displacement of the object is d = 3.00 m, while \theta=180^{\circ}, because the displacement is upward, while the force of gravity is downward; therefore, the work done by gravity is

W=Fdcos \theta=(19.6 N)(3.00 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-58.8 J

And the work done is negative, because it is done against the motion of the object.

Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

Work done on the object by gravity = Force due to gravity x Displacement

Force due to gravity = weight of the object

                                  = m g

                                  = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

                                  = 19.6 N

The force due to gravity acts in downwards direction opposite the direction of the displacement. Thus, the angle between the force and the displacement is 180°.

Work done on the object by gravity

= 19.6 N x 3.00 m x cos 180° = -58.8 J

Determine the thrust produced if 1.5 x 10^3 kg of gas exits the combustion chamber each second, with a speed of 4.00 x 10^3 m/s.
ozzi

Answer:

The thrust is 6\times 10^6\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of gas, m=1.5\times 10^3\ kg

The rate at which the gas is expelling, \dfrac{dv}{dt}=4\times 10^{3}\ m/s

We need to find the thrust produced by the gas.

We know that force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. So,

F=\dfrac{p}{t}

Also, p = mv

F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

So,

F=1.5\times 10^3\times 4\times 10^3\\\\F=6\times 10^6\ N

So, the thrust is 6\times 10^6\ N

<span> gravitational force varies based on 1/r^2
when you're double the distance =10,000 to 20,000, the force is 4 times smaller so on and so forth.
</span><span>As force is proportional to 1 / {distance squared}, the force will be 1 / 2^2 (i.e. 1/4) of the force at the reference distance (i.e. 1/4 * 600 = 150 lb)
