G=?
m=7.35*10^22kg
r=1.74*10^6m
G=6.67*10^-11nm^2kg^-2
you can use the formula
g=Gm/r^2

An object of mass 30 kg is in free fall in a vacuum where there is no air resistance. Determine the acceleration of the object.

velikii [3]

Answer:

In free fall, mass is not relevant and there's no air resistance, so the acceleration the object is experimenting will be equal to the gravity exerted. If the object is falling on our planet, the value of gravity is approximately 9.81ms2 .

A spring with a rest length of 0.7 m has a spring constant of 70 N/m. It is stretched and now has a length of 2.5 m. What is the

pentagon [3]

Answer:

113.4 J

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2$

The spring has a natural length of 0.7 m and a spring constant of k=70 N/m. When the spring is stretched to a length of 2.5 m, the change of length is

Δx = 2.5 m - 0.7 m = 1.8 m

The energy stored in the spring is:

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}70(1.8)^2$
