Answer:

4.7 N

Explanation:

130 g = 0.13 kg

The momentum of the snowball when it's thrown at the wall is

p = mv = 0.13*6.5 = 0.845 kgm/s

Which is also the impulse. From here we can calculate the magnitude of the average force F knowing the duration of the collision is 0.18 s

p = F\Delta t

F*0.18 = 0.845

F = 0.845 / 0.18 = 4.7 N

Calculate the force of gravity on a 1–kilogram box located at a point 1.3 × 107 meters from the center of Earth if the force on
Sati [7]

Since you already gave us the weight of the 2.5-kg box,
we don't even need to know what the distance is, just
as long as it doesn't change.

Look at the formula for the gravitational force:

                           F = G  m₁ m₂ / R² .

If 'G', 'm₁' (mass of the Earth), and 'R' (distance from the Earth's center)
don't change, then the Force is proportional to  m₂ ... mass of the box,
and you can write a simple proportion:

                       (6.1 N) / (2.5 kg)  =  (F) / (1 kg)

Cross-multiply:  (6.1 N) (1 kg)  =  (F) (2.5 kg)

Divide each side by (2.5 kg):  F = (6.1N) x (1 kg) / (2.5 kg)  =  2.44 N .

Some birds migrate 20,000 miles. If 1 mile equals 1.6 kilometers, calculate the distance these birds fly in kilometers.
faust18 [17]
Set up a proportion

1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x

Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers
