Given: Normal pull of gravity g = 9.8 m/s²; 

 g = 0.855 m/s²  (at a certain distance)

Universal gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Mass of the Earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

Radius r = ?

g = GMe/r²

r = √GMe/g

r = √(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)/(0.855 m/s²)

r = 2.16 x 10⁷ m or 

r =  21,610 Km

The net external force on a golf cart is 411 N north of tha cart has a total mass of 281 kg what is tha cart acceleration
Alisiya [41]

1.46m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of cart = 281kg

Net external force = 411N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the cart = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law " the net force on a car is the product of its mass and acceleration";

            Force = mass x acceleration

Since acceleration of the cart is unknown;

     Acceleration = \frac{force}{mass} = \frac{411}{281}

  Acceleration = 1.46m/s²

What causes a wave to begin
kakasveta [241]
Wind or gravitational pull. A wave is made by friction between wind and the water’s surface. Waves can also be made by the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth.

<h3>2 Answers:</h3>

a) Velocity is a vector quantity

e) Velocity is a speed with direction

=================================================

Explanation:

If we know the velocity of an object, then we know how fast it's going (speed) and where it's going (direction). It is a vector because the direction of the vector determines the direction, and the length of the vector (aka magnitude) determines the speed. So in a sense we've built in two facts of data into one visual.

An example of velocity: 10 miles per hour north. Here we have the speed of 10 mph and the direction north.

-------------------

Extra info:

  • Choice B contradicts choice A, so we can cross choice B off the list.
  • Choice C is false because speed is a scalar, or single quantity, and not a vector. As mentioned earlier, speed is a part of velocity, but they aren't the same exact thing.
  • Choice D is false because the velocity does not account for net force. We don't have any force information built into the velocity.
