Answer:

His weight on Earth is 1097.6N

Explanation:

You have to apply Newton's Second Law, F = m×a where F is force, m is mass and a is accerleration. Then, you have to substitute the following values into the equation :

$f = m \times a$

Let m = 112kg,

Let a = 9.8m/s²,

$f = 112 \times 9.8$

$f = 1097.6$

What type of eclipse is shown? How do you know?

Sonja [21]

That is a lunar eclipse. At night, when the Earth is between the Sun and the moon, the moon would appear to be red. Just for future reference, a solar eclipse is when the Moon is between the Sun and Earth. Speaking of which, check out the solar eclipse this August!

A 1.4-kg block slides freely across a rough surface such that the block slows down with an acceleration of â1.25 m/s2. what is t

Marianna [84]

Mass of the block = 1.4 kg

Weight of the block = mg = 1.4 × 9.8 = 13.72 N

Normal force from the surface (N) = 13.72 N

Acceleration = 1.25 m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be μ

Friction force = μN

F(net) = ma

μmg = ma

μg = a

μ = $\frac{a}{g}$

μ = $\frac{1.25}{9.8}$

μ = 0.1275

Hence, the coefficient of kinetic friction is: μ = 0.1275

A stunt man jumps from the top of a building and lands 10 meters below his initial height. In case A, the stunt man lands on a s

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.

$Impulse=F_{avg}\times \Delta T$

As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.
