Answer:

0.041 m

Explanation:

T = 2π√(L/g)

1 s = 2π√(L / (1.6 N/kg))

L = 0.041 m

4. What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that acts on a man

Cloud [144]

The gravitational force acting on the man is 800 N towards the Earth's centre

Explanation:

The weight of an object on the Earth is exactly the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the radius of the Earth

And the direction of the force is towards the Earth's centre.

Since G, M and R are constant, they are grouped into a single constant called g, acceleration of gravity:

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

therefore the gravitational force can be rewritten as

$F=mg$

And this is the usual equation that we use to calculate the weight of an object.

Therefore, weight and gravitational force acting on an object on Earth are the same thing: so, the gravitational force acting on the man is equal to his weight, 800 N, and it acts towards the Earth's center.

How does Lightning occur<br><br>

OlgaM077 [116]

When a storm is formed, the storm clouds contain negative charges and the ground is filled with positive charges. Similar to the way magnets work the two are attracted. The the collision of the two charges produce an electrical discharge.

A bus is moving at a constant speed of 40 m/s. How many hours will it takes to travel 260 miles?

lawyer [7]

Explanation:

1 mile = 1609m

Distance=260 miles= 418340 m

Speed= 40 m/s

Time = distance/speed

= 418340/40

=10458.5 seconds

= 2.9 hours

According to coulombs law, what will happen to the force between two charged particles if the magnitude are increased by 6 times

seropon [69]

Answer: The electrostatic force will be the same

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law, when two electrically charged bodies come closer, appears a force that attracts or repels them, depending on the sign of the charges of this two bodies or particles.

In this sense, this law states the following:

"The electrostatic force $F_{E}$ between two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$ that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"
