The new weight is 273.8 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by

W=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

The acceleration of gravity at the Earth's surface can be rewritten as

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

R is the Earth's radius

Substituting into the previous equation,

W=\frac{GMm}{R^2}

We said that in normal conditions, the weight of the person is 730 N:

W=\frac{GMm}{R^2}=730 N

Later, we are said that:

  • The mass of the Earth increases by a  factor of 6, M'=6M
  • The radius of the Earth increases by a factor of 4, R'=4R

Substituting into the equation, we find the new weight of the person in these conditions:

W'=\frac{G(6M)m}{(4R)^2}=\frac{6}{16}(\frac{GMm}{R^2})=\frac{3}{8}W

So, the new weight is 3/8 of the original weight, therefore:

W'=\frac{3}{8}(730)=273.8 N

The answer is true. All the galaxies in the universe follow the law of gravity.

<span>Based from the book, It's about Time: the Illusion of Einstein’s Time Dilation Explained, </span>

Einstein had explained that all the heavenly bodies in the universe follow the same scientific laws that are similar to our solar system. The stars and planets are held by the principles of inertia and gravity

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun
kotykmax [81]
<h3>Question -:</h3>

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun

exerts on the Earth:

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

O B. is very small because the sun is so far from the Earth.

O c. is smaller than the force the Earth exerts on the sun.

O D. pushes the Earth away from the sun.

<h3>Answer -:</h3>

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

A horizontal force of 92.7 N is applied to a 40.5 kg crate on a rough, level surface. If the crate accelerates at 1.13 m/s2, wha
lord [1]

Answer:

The value is F_f =  46.935 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  magnitude of the horizontal force is F  =  92.7 \  N

     The mass of the crate is  m  =  40.5 \  kg

     The acceleration of the crate is  a =  1.13 \ m/s

Generally the net force acting on the crate is mathematically represented as

       F_{net} =  F -  F_f =  ma

Here F_f is force of kinetic friction (in N) acting on the crate

      So  

            92.7  -  F_f =  40.5 * 1.13

=>         F_f =  46.935 \  N

According to Galileo, this quantity is not needed to keep a body in motion under ideal conditions.
Sergio [31]
This condition is called Galileo's Law of Inertia which states that all bodies accelerate at the smart rate , no matter what are their masses or size. Inertia is that tendency of matter to resist changes in its velocity.  <span>Isaac Newton's first law of motion captures the concept of inertia. </span>

Sergio [31]
The correct answer is (b.) y/x hertz. That is because the formula to get the frequency is f =  v / w. The following values (v=y meters / second; wavelength = x meters) must be substituted to the equation, which leaves you y/x hertz.
