What upward gravitational force does a 5600kg elephant exert on the earth?

Physics
2 answers:
Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
8 0
Force is determined by multiplying mass and gravity (F= mg). To determine the answer, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied with the gravity (9.8 m/s²). The answer is 5800 N. This is the upward gravitational force that the elephant exerts on the earth.

<u>Answer</u>

54,880 N


<u>Explanation</u>

The Gravitational force is the force exited by an object towards the center of the earth. It is called the weight of an object. The Newton's 2nd law of motion says that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. So, if the elephant exerts a force on the earth, the earth exerts an equal force to the elephant.

Weight = mass × gravity

          = 5600 × 9.8

            = 54,880 N

A horizontal 745 N merry-go-round of radius
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-goround after 3.62 s is  544J

Explanation:

Given :

Weight w = 745 N

Radius r =  1.45 m

Force =  56.3 N

To Find:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go round after 3.62  = ?

Solution:

Step 1:  Finding the Mass of merry-go-round

m = \frac{ weight}{g}

m = \frac{745}{9.81 }

m = 76.02 kg

Step 2: Finding the Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I =0.5 \times m \times r^2

Substituting the values

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I  

=>0.5 \times 76.02 \times (1.45)^2

=> 0.5 \times 76.02\times 2.1025

=> 79.91 kg.m^2

Step 3: Finding the Torque applied T

Torque applied T = F \times r

Substituting the values

T = 56.3  \times 1.45

T = 81.635 N.m

 Step 4: Finding the Angular acceleration

Angular acceleration ,\alpha  = \frac{Torque}{Inertia}

Substituting the values,

\alpha  = \frac{81.635}{79.91}

\alpha = 1.021 rad/s^2

 Step 4: Finding the Final angular velocity

Final angular velocity ,\omega = \alpha \times  t

Substituting the values,

\omega = 1.021 \times  3.62

\omega = 3.69 rad/s

Now KE (100% rotational) after 3.62s is:

KE = 0.5 \times I \times \omega^2

KE =0.5 \times 79.91 \times 3.69^2

KE = 544J

The periodic table includes___periods.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Seven.

Explanation:

A period is a horizontal row of the periodic table. There are seven periods in the periodic table, with each one beginning at the far left. A new period begins when a new principal energy level begins filling with electrons.

What 3 factors should be considered when designing a lighting rod?
Mariana [72]

Explanation:

A lightning rod (US, AUS) If lightning hits the structure:-

It will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire.

Instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution.

The parts of a lightning protection system are air terminals (lightning rods or strike) and all of the connectors and supports to complete the system.

An impala is an African antelope capable of a remarkable vertical leap. In one recorded leap, a 45 kg impala went into a deep cr
Elis [28]

Answer:

(a) F = 1500 N.

(b) Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = 3.40

Explanation:

Force : This can be defined as the product of mass and the distance moved by a body. Its S.I unit is Newton. It can be represented mathematically as

F = Ma

Where F= force, M = mass (Kg) and a = Acceleration (m/s²)

Weight: This can be defined as the force on a body due to gravitation field. It is also measured in Newton (N). It can be represented mathematically as

W = Mg

Where W = weight of the body, M = mass of the body (Kg), g = Acceleration due to gravity.

(a)

F = Ma

Where M = 45kg,

a = unknown.

But we can look for acceleration Using one of the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gs

Where v= final velocity(m/s), u = initial velocity (m/s) g = 0 m/s, g = 9.8m/s² and s = height = 2.5m.

∴ v² = 2gs

 v = √2gs = √(2×9.8×2.5)

v= √49 = 7m/s

With the force applied, the impala’s velocity must increase from 0 m/s to 7 m/s in 0.21 second

∴ a = (v-u)/t

 a = (7-0)/0.21 = 7/0.21

  a = 33.33 m/s².

F = 45 × 33.33 ≈ 1500

F = 1500 N.

(b)

Where F = Force = 1500 N

and W = Weight = Mg = 45 × 9.8 = 441 N

∴Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = F/W = 1500/441 = 3.40

 Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = 3.40
