A weight watcher who normally weighs 400 N stands on top of a very tall ladder so she is one Earth radius above Earth's surface

(i.e. twice her normal distance from Earth's center). How much is her weight there? Group of answer choices

Troyanec [42]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

100 N

Explanation:

Let us first find the mass of the person when they are on the earth's surface

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2} }\\

Now let us see how F changes if the distance between two masses is doubled

F_{1}  = G\frac{Mm}{(2r)^{2} } = \frac{1}{4} *G\frac{Mm}{r^{2} }

So when the distance of separation is doubled, the force of gravity between the two masses decreases by a factor of four

Therefore her new weight = 400 N/4 = 100 N

What is the mass of a rock lifted 2 meters off the ground that has 196 J of potential energy?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

10kg

Explanation:

Let PE=potential energy

PE=196J

g(gravitational force)=9.8m/s^2

h(change in height)=2m

m=?

PE=m*g*(change in h)

196=m*9.8*2

m=10kg

Car A take a time of 2.55hr and car B take a time of 2.14 hr

We know that distance divide by time is speed

here it is given that car A to reach a gas station a distance 189 km from the school traveling at a speed of 74 km/hr​

so speed=distance/time

s=d/t

t=d/s

=189/74

=2.55hr

In case of car B it is given that The distance from the is 199.8km, car b is traveling at a speed of 93 km/hr  

s=d/t

t=d/s

=199.8/93

=2.14hr  

so from the above given data and the formula we solved and found out the time taken by car A is 2.55h and car B is 2.14h

A speeding car collides with an unlucky bug flying across the road. Which explains why the impact doesn’t equally damage the car
velikii [3]
The bug was a lot smaller than the car, that's for sure. The car is bigger and sturdier, while the bug is smaller and frail. The bug is so frail, that rather that putting a dent in the car, it splatters all over the car. The bug is very damaged (obviously), while the car just needs a good wash.

You place a book on top of a spring and push down, compressing the spring by 10 cm. When you let go of the book, it is pushed up
enot [183]
At First, there is chemical Energy( in your muscels) which is Used to Push down the spring. This Energy becomes the Energy of the spring, which increases until you stop pushing. If you Put your hand away, the Energy of the spring will become kinetic energ. This Energy is at the highest Level the Moment the book ist Leaving the spring. Afterwards, the kinetic Energy decreases while the Gravitational Potential Energy increases.
