Answer:
40 s
Explanation:
After 10 seconds, the first skater would have a 8m/s * 10s = 80 m head start
Let t be the number of seconds after the second skater starts will the second skater overtake the first skater
The distance traveled by the first skater after t seconds is

Similarly the distance traveled by the 2nd skater after t seconds is

Since the 2nd skater catches up to the 1st one after 80 m behind, the distance traveled by the 2nd one must be 80m greater than the distance of the 1st skater

We can substitute 



Answer:
Approximately
.
Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.
Explanation:
Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant
near the surface of the earth.
For an object that is accelerating constantly,
,
where
is the initial velocity of the object,
is the final velocity of the object.
is its acceleration, and
is its displacement.
In this case,
is the same as the change in the ball's height:
. By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result,
. Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity,
.
.
In this case,
would be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground. Solve for
.
.
1. 0.16 N
The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

where
G is the gravitational constant
is the mass of the asteroid
m = 100 kg is the mass of the man
r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid
Substituting, we find

2. 1.7 m/s
In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.
Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

Answer:
1 N
Explanation:
First the equation is momentum = Force / distance
20 cm = 0.2 m
5 N/m = F / 0.2 m
F = 1 N
