"60 kg" is not a weight. It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.
The weight of the object is
(mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .
On the surface of the Earth,
Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= 588 Newtons.
Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to 5R from the center, the gravity out there is
(1R/5R)² = (1/5)² = 1/25 = 0.04 of its value on the surface.
The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.
(0.04) x (588 Newtons) = 23.52 Newtons.
Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.
___________________________________________
If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink.
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
<em>A. His speed is 0 m/s
</em>
<em>B. His velocity is 12 m/s
</em>
<em>C. His velocity is 0 m/s
</em>
<em>D. His acceleration is 12 m/s</em>
Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters
Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s
<em>Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>
= 240/20 = 12 m/s
Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.
The correct option is B.
1 Electrical Potential Energy, separating two charged plates will store energy as the plates want to return to their original position.
<span>2 Spring or Elastic can be stretched to store energy as it wants to return to rest </span>
<span>3 Gravitational energy is stored by moving something (ball or pendulum are both examples of this) against a gravity gradient (lifting an object) that wants to fall back down. </span>
