Answer:

a. 150 N

Explanation:

Gravitational Force: This is the force that act on a body under gravity.

The gravitational force always attract every object on or near the earth's surface. The earth therefore, exerts an attractive force on every object on or near it.

The S.I unit of gravitational force is Newton(N).

Mathematically, gravitational force of attraction is expressed as

(i) F = GmM/r² ........................ Equation 1 ( when it involves two object of different masses on the earth)

(ii) F = mg ............................... Equation 2 ( when it involves one mass and the gravitational field).

Given: m = 17 kg, g = 8.8 m/s²

Substituting into equation 2,

F = 17(8.8)

F = 149.6 N

F ≈ 150 N.

Thus the gravitational force = 150 N

The correct option is a. 150 N

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 3 kg

swing in vertical circle with radius = 2 m

   work done by the gravity = ?          

   work done by the tension = ?            

Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh            

 Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m                                                                

Work done by the gravity =- 3 \times 9.8 \times 4

                                           = -117.6 J                  

work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J            

Work done by tension will be equal to zero.        

Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity

work done by tension is equal to 0 J

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6m/s and a wave length of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
erastovalidia [21]
Frequency = speed / wavelength

(6 m/s) / (12 m) = 0.5 Hz.

That's not infrared light.
Infrared light waves move about 50 million times faster than that, and they're only about 0.00000007 as long as that.

A roller coaster is traveling at 13 m/s when it approaches a hill that is 400 m long. Heading down the hill, it accelerates at 4
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The  value is    v = 47 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The initial  speed of the roller coaster is u =  13 \  m/s

    The  length of the hill is  l   = 400 \  m

    The  acceleration of the  roller coaster is a=4.0 \ m/s^2

Generally the acceleration is mathematically represented as

      a =  \frac{ v - u}{ t_f -  t_i }

Here  t_i is the initial time which is equal to zero

         v_f is the final velocity which is mathematically represented as

          v_f  =  \frac{d}{ t_f}

So  

     a =  \frac{ \frac{d}{d_f}  - u }{ t_f - t_i}

     4 = \frac{\frac{400}{ t_f}  - 13}{t_f - 0}

      4 =  \frac{400 - 13t_f}{ t_f} *  \frac{1}{t_f}

     4t_f ^2  +13f  + 400 =

Solving this using quadratic formula we obtain

    t_f =  8.5 \ s

     t_f =  -11.8 \ s

Generally  time cannot be negative so

       t_f =  8.5 \ s

Generally the  final velocity is mathematically represented as

         v = \frac{400}{8.5}

         v = 47 \  m/s
