Answer:
The acceleration due to gravity is 
times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.
(D) is correct option.
Explanation:
Given that,
Radius = 4000 miles
We need to calculate the gravitational force at surface
Gravitational force on the mass m on the surface of the earth
At r = R
....(I)
We need to calculate the gravitational force at height
Gravitational force on a mass m from the center of the earth,
At r = R + R = 2 R
....(II)
Dividing equation (II) by equation (I)
Hence, The acceleration due to gravity is times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.
Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.
Answer:
106.7 N
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the object:
where
F is the average force
is the duration of the collision
m is the mass of the ball
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
In this problem:
m = 0.200 kg
u = 20.0 m/s
v = -12.0 m/s
Solving for F,
And since we are interested in the magnitude only,
F = 106.7 N
