The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>

A 0.50-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius 2.0 m). When the mass is at the highest point

il63 [147K]

Answer:

31.1 N

Explanation:

m = mass attached to string = 0.50 kg

r = radius of the vertical circle = 2.0 m

v = speed of the mass at the highest point = 12 m/s

T = force of the string on the mass attached.

At the highest point, force equation is given as

$T + mg =\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

Inserting the values

$T + (0.50)(9.8) =\frac{(0.50)(12)^{2}}{2}$

T = 31.1 N

When Woods hits a 0.04593 kg golf ball, the golf ball is usually traveling around 281 kilometers per hour. What average force do

Semenov [28]

Answer:

128.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on the golf ball is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the ball, so we can write:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

F is the force

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$\Delta t=0.030 s$ is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m = 0.04593 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the ball

$v=281 km/h =78.1 m/s$ is the final velocity of the ball

Substituting into the original equation, we find the force exerted on the golf ball:

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.04593)(78.1-0)}{0.030}=128.9 N$
