Hypothetically speaking, if an object were located at the center of the Earth, the gravitational force on that object due to the

surrounding Earth, assuming matter is uniformly distributed, would have which of the following values?
a) The force would be approximately the same value as if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
b) The force would be much greater than the value if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
c) The force would be somewhat less than the value if the object was on the surface of the Earth, but it would be greater than zero newtons.
d) The force would be zero newtons.

Answer:

D. ) The force would be zero newtons

Explanation:

Because

If you are at the center of the earth, gravity is zero because all the mass around you is pulling "up" (every direction there is up!)

So F=mg so if g is zero F is also zero

Robin Hood wishes to split an arrow already in the bull's-eye of a target 40 m away.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

5.843 m

Explanation:

suppose that the arrow leave the bow with a horizontal speed , towards he bull's eye.

lets consider that horizontal motion

distance = speed * time

time = 40/ 37 = 1.081 s

arrow doesnot have a initial vertical velocity component. but it has a vertical motion due to gravity , which may cause a miss of the target.

applying motion equation

(assume g = 10 m/s²)

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}*gt^{2}  \\= 0+\frac{1}{2}*10*1.081^{2}\\= 5.843 m

Arrow misses the target by 5.843m ig the arrow us split horizontally
