Answer: 6.12 kg

Explanation:

Since Mass of ball = ? (let the unknown value be Z)

Acceleration due to gravity, g= 9.8m/s^2

Height, h = 1.5 metres

Gravitational potential energy GPE = 90J

Gravitational potential energy depends on the weight of the ball, the action of gravity and height.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

90J = Z x 9.8m/s^2 x 1.5m

90 = Z x 14.7

Z = 90/14.7

Z = 6.12 kg

Thus, the bowling ball weigh 6.12 kilograms

An astronaut has a mass of 75 kg and is floating in space 500 m from his 125,000 kg spacecraft. What will be the force of gravit
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1. 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force of attraction.

Mass of astronaut (M₁) = 75 Kg

Mass of spacecraft (M₂) = 125000 Kg

Distance apart (r) = 500 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Force of attraction (F) =?

The force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ /r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 75 × 125000 / 500²

F = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Thus, the force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft is 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. Determination of the acceleration of the astronaut.

Mass of astronaut (m) = 75 Kg

Force (F) = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Acceleration (a) of astronaut =?

The acceleration of the astronaut can be obtained as follow:

F = ma

2.5×10¯⁹ N = 75 × a

Divide both side by 75

a = 2.5×10¯⁹ / 75

a = 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Thus, the acceleration the astronaut is 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

The magnitude of a force vector is 89.6 newtons (N). The x component of this vector is directed along the +x axis and has a magn
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) θ = 33.86°

(b) Ay = 49.92 N

Explanation:

You have that the magnitude of a vector is A = 89.6 N

The x component of such a vector is Ax = 74.4 N

(a) To find the angle between the vector and the x axis you use the following formula for the calculation of the x component of a vector:

A_x=Acos\theta       (1)

Ax: x component of vector A

A: magnitude of vector A

θ: angle between vector A and the x axis

You solve the equation (1) for θ, by using the inverse of cosine function:

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{A_x}{A})=cos{-1}(\frac{74.4N}{89.6N})\\\\\theta=33.86\°

the angle between the A vector and the x axis is 33.86°

(b) The y component of the vector is given by:

A_y=Asin\theta\\\\A_y=(89.6N)sin(33.86\°)=49.92N

the y comonent of the vecor is Ay = 49.92 N
