What is the mass of a falling rock if it produces a force of 50 N?

1 answer:

8 0

×× $F=m \times a$ ×

50N is your force and the acceleration is -9.8m/s^2 due to gravity.

So, you just plug that in.

$50 N=m\times-9.8m/s^2\\
\frac{50}{-9.8}=m\\
m=-5.102$

BUT you know that mass cannot be negative, so you just disregard the negative sign and the mass of the rock is 5.102 grams.

(a) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

<h2>a)Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun is 274.21 m/s²</h2><h2>b) Factor of increase in weight is 27.95</h2>

Explanation:

a) Acceleration due to gravity

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

Here we need to find acceleration due to gravity of Sun,

G = 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

Mass of sun, M = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

Radius of sun, r = 6.957 x 10⁸ m

Substituting,

$g=\frac{6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}{(6.957\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274.21m/s^2$

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun = 274.21 m/s²

b) Acceleration due to gravity in earth = 9.81 m/s²

Ratio of gravity = 274.21/9.81 = 27.95

Weight = mg

Factor of increase in weight = 27.95

During takeoff, an airplane climbs with a speed of 195 m/s at an angle of 15° above the horizontal. The speed and angle constitu

matrenka [14]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 188 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity is 50 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the figure for a graphic description of the problem. Notice that the x-component of the vector velocity (vx), the y-component (vy) and the vector velocity form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to obtain the magnitude of vx and vy:

We can find vx using the following trigonometric rule of a right triangle:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 15° = vx / 195 m/s

195 m/s · cos 15° = vx

vx = 188 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 188 m/s

To calculate the y-component we will use the following trigonometric rule:

sin α = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 15° = vy / 195 m/s

195 m/s · sin 15° = vy

vy = 50 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity is 50 m/s.
