A body, with a volume of 2 m3, weighs 40 kN. Determine its weight when
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

8.8 kN

Explanation:

V = 2 m³, W = 40 kN, SG = 1.59

Bouyant force N = 1.59 * 1000 kg/m³ * 9.81 N/kg * 2 m³ = 31.2 kN

So the weight becomes 40 - 31.2 = 8.8 kN

Jill is getting ready to push little Frank in his swing. She pulls Frank back as high as she can and then releases the swing. Wh
makkiz [27]
The transfer of energy is potential energy to kinetic energy. The swing has potential energy when she pulls it back and once she lets go, allowing the swing to move, it then has kinetic energy.

Use newton's third law to explain why a blown up balloon but untied balloon will fly around the room when you let it go? really
sergij07 [2.7K]
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you let go of the ballon, you are letting the force out but the force also pushes the balloon back.

If the 50 kg boy were in a spacecraft 5.0r from the center of the earth, what would his weight be?
Lady_Fox [76]
·The acceleration of gravity is proportional to

                       1 / (the square of the distance from the center) .

When we're on the surface, we're 1 radius from the center of the Earth,
and the acceleration of gravity is  9.8 m/s² .

The boy's weight = (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

                                                             =      490 newtons .

At the distance of 5 radii from the center (4 radii altitude from the surface),
the acceleration of gravity is

                 (9.8 m/s²) · (1/5)²  =  0.39 m/s² .

The boy's weight is    (mass) · (gravity)  =  (50kg) · (0.39 m/s²)

                                                                  =     19.6 newtons .

Just as we expected, his weight at that distance is

         (19.6 / 490) = 0.04  =  1/25  =  1/5²  of his weight on the surface.
