4 0

Answer:

Both are equal.

Explanation:

As per the theory of gravitational force, when two objects will be thrown from same height but of different masses, both will reach the ground at same time.

The force of gravity will act same on both objects.

Simple experiments were done by Sir Isaac Newton to reach out to reach out to this conclusion. Two objects were made to fall free under the influence of gravity, neglecting every other small forces, it was observed irrespective of different masses both reaches the ground at same time.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) 7699.990192m/s.

(c)5484.3301s = 1.5234 hours.(extremely fast).

Explanation:

(a) Strength of gravitational field 'g' by definition is

g = \frac{M_{(earth)} }{r^2} G , here G is Gravitational Constant, and r is distance from center of earth, all the values will remain same except r which will be radius of earth + altitude at which ISS is in orbit.

r = 6721,000 meters, putting this value in above equation gives g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) We have to essentially calculate centripetal acceleration that equals new 'g'.

a_{centripetal}=\frac{V^2}{r} =g here g is known, r is known and v is unknown.

plugging in r and g in above and solving for unknown gives V = 7699.990192m/s.

(c)  S = vT,  here T is time period or time required to complete one full revolution.

S =  earth's circumfrence , V is calculated in (B) T is unknown.

solving for unknown gives T = 5484.3301s = 1.5234hours.

A constant net force of 20 N is applied to a 32kg car, causing it to speed up from 4.0 to 9.0 m/s. How long is the force applied
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

From Newton's second law;

Ft = m(v-u)

F = Force applied

t = time taken

v = final velocity

u  = initial velocity

20 * t = 32 (9 - 4)

20t = 32 * 5

t = 32 * 5/ 20

t = 8 seconds
