Application - You have two objects that you want to push the same distance (5 meters) across the floor. The objects have differe

nt masses. The first object is a dresser (40 kg) and the second object is a kitchen chair (11.5 kg). Which object will take more force to push the the 5 meters across the floor? Why?

I see you're in Middle School, so I've got a hunch that they want you
to say "the dresser because it has more mass".  But that's a poor
answer, to a poor question.

The fact is that there's no way to tell.

The force it takes to move either object across the floor does NOT really
depend on just its mass.  It depends on both the object's mass AND the
friction between the object and the floor.  And THAT depends on the shape
of the feet where they touch the floor, and what kind of material the feet and
the floor are made of.

So it seems to me that we really don't have enough information to answer
the question with.

But again, I suspect that the answer they want is "the dresser because
it has more mass".

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Earth is always moving. Each day, the Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis. ... As Earth rotates, it seems like the sun is moving across the sky, but it's really the Earth that is spinning. It takes 24 hours to complete one rotation, which is why there are 24 hours in one day.

if the masses are doubled then the force is increased by a factor of 4 


if the distance is doubled the force is decreased by a factor of 1/ 2^2 
the net result is no change in force</span>

A probe orbiting Venus exerts a gravitational force of 2.58 × 10^3 N on Venus. Venus has a mass of 4.87 × 10^24 kg. The mass of
Crazy boy [7]
So this is the info that's given to us:
m1 = 4.87 x 10^24 kg
m2 = 4.87 x 10^24kg
F = 2.58 x 10^3 N

Now we can use this equation to solve: f_g= \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

You may be asking what g is. Well, it is equal to 6.67x10^-11 m3 /kg s2. G is gravitational constant. So :

2.58 x 10^3 = \frac{6.67x10^{-11} * 4.87 x 10^{24} * 655}{r^{2}} 

As you can see we only have one variable, so we solve for r! 

r = 9.08 x 10^6 km

I hope this helps you out. I remember when I was first learning Newton's law<span> of universal </span><span>gravitation and I had some trouble. But with some practice, I got better. =) </span>
