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

Suppose that a block of mass 2 kg is pulled to the right with a force of 10 N, and the friction force on the block is directed t
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The block has an acceleration of 3 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

By means of Newton's second law it can be determine the acceleration of the block.

\sum F_{r} = ma   (1)

Where \sum F_{r} represents the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

F_{x} + F{y} = ma  (2)

The forces present in x are F = 10 N and f = 4 N (the friction force):

F_{x} = 10 N - 4 N

Notice that f subtracts to F since it is at the opposite direction.

F_{x} = 6 N

The forces present in y balance each other:

F_{y} = 0

Therefore:

6 + 0 = ma  

6 N = (2kg)a  (3)

But 1 N = 1 Kg.m/s^{2} and writing (3) in terms of a it is get:

a = \frac{6 Kg.m/s^{2}}{2 Kg}  

a = 3 m/s^{2}

So the block has an acceleration of a = 3 m/s^{2}.

What is the amount of work done when a force of 10N moves a 20kg mass of 8 meters?
Nataly_w [17]

Yo sup??

we should know that

work done=force*displacement

W=F.s

F=10 N

s=8 m

therefore

W=10*8

=80 N

Hope this helps.

Students are asked to create roller coasters for marbles. Their goal is to design a coaster with the tallest possible hill that
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

The movement of a roller coaster is accomplished by the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. The roller coaster cars gain potential energy as they are pulled to the top of the first hill. As the cars descend the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

What is the study of kinematics based upon ?<br><br>thankyou ~​
NikAS [45]

Kinematics is the study of the motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.
