Explanation:

a) F = GmM / r²

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹) (500) (5.98×10²⁴) / (6.4×10⁶ + 1.5×10⁶)²

F = 3200 N

b) F = ma

3200 = 500a

a = 6.4 m/s²

c) a = v² / r

640 = v² / (6.4×10⁶ + 1.5×10⁶)

v = 7100 m/s

If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant velocity, is it in equilibrium? If a projectile is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s
Irina18 [472]

If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant speed AND its direction isn't changing, then its velocity is constant.  Another way to say that is: Its acceleration is zero.  Zero acceleration means zero NET force acting on the object, or a group of BALANCED forces acting on it, also called EQUILIBRIUM.  The required answer is: YES.

If a real projectile is launched, the force of gravity acts on it vertically downward.  There's no upward force acting on it to balance gravity.  Therefore, the forces on the projectile are NOT balanced, there IS a net vertical force on it, and it's NOT in equilibrium.  Too bad.

A 5 kg object near Earth's surface is released from rest such that it falls a distance of 10 m. After the object falls 10 m, it
makkiz [27]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of object m=5 kg

Distance traveled h=10 m

velocity acquired v=12 m/s

conserving Energy at the moment when object start falling and when it gains 12 m/s velocity

Initial Energy=mgh=5\times 9.8\times 10=490 J

Final Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+W_{f}

=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 12^2+W_{f}

where W_{f} is friction work if any

490=360+W_{f}

W_{f}=130 J

Since Friction is Present therefore it is a case of Open system and net external Force is zero

An open system is a system where exchange of energy and mass is allowed and Friction is acting on the object shows that system is Open .
