The weight of an object is taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. The weight ( W ) is the product of the mass ( m ) of the object and the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration ( g ).
On Earth: g = 9.81 m/s²
m = 20 kg
W = m · g = 20 kg · 9.81 m/s² = 196.2 N
A force sets an object in motion when the force is multiplied by the time of its application.
Answer:

Explanation:
<u>Work and Kinetic Energy
</u>
The work an object does due to its motion is equal to the change of its kinetic energy. Being ko and k1 the initial and final kinetic energy respectively and m the mass of the object, then

Since

We have

The truck has a mass of 60,000 kg and is moving at 27 m/s. The runaway truck ramp must stop the truck, so the final speed is 0. Thus



Answer:
80 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
a = -5 m/s²
v = 0 m/s
Δx = 640 m
Find: v₀
v² = v₀² + 2a(x − x₀)
(0 m/s)² = v₀² + 2(-5 m/s²) (640 m)
v₀ = 80 m/s
