The force due to gravity between two point masses is given by:
F = GMm/r²; where G is the gravitational constant, M is the larger mass, m is the smaller mass, and r is the distance between the two.
F =  (6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.98 × 10²⁴ × 70) / (6.39 × 10⁶)²
F = 684.1 N

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 53.0 cm . The explorer finds that
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

L = length of the simple pendulum = 53 cm = 0.53 m

n = Number of full swing cycles = 99.0

t = Total time taken = 128 s

T = Time period of the pendulum

g = magnitude of gravitational acceleration on the planet

Time period of the pendulum is given as

T = \frac{t}{n}

T = \frac{128}{99}

T = 1.3 sec

Time period of the pendulum is also given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

1.3 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{0.53}{g}}

g = 12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

After reading that long sentence, let's solve the question

The contact force is the so-called normal in this case we can find it by writing the translational equilibrium equation for the y axis

            N - w₁ -w₂ =

            N = m₁ g + m₂ g

            N = g (m₁ + m₂)

let's calculate

            N = 9.8 (0.760 + 1.630)

            N = 23.4 N

This is the force of the support of the two blocks on the surface.

qwelly [4]
Change in velocity = Final velocity - Initial velocity

Initial velocity = 20 m/s
Final velocity = 10 m/s

Change in velocity = 10 - 20 = -10m/s

Correct option B
