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

2 answers:

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.

Answer

54,880 N

Explanation

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 proton (mass=1.67x10^-27 kg, charge= 1.60x10^-19 C) moves from point A to point under the influence of an electrostatic force

Anettt [7]

Answer:

$VB - VA = - 33.4$

Explanation:

Generally the workdone in moving the proton is mathematically represented as

$W = KE_f - KE_i$

Where $KE_i \ and \ KE_f \ are\ the\ initial \ and \ final \ kinetic \ energy$

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} m v_a^2$

Here $v_a$ is the velocity at A with value 50 m/s

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 50^2$

$KE_i = 2.09 *10^{-24} \ J$

Also

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} m v_b^2$

Here $v_a$ is the velocity at A with value $80 km/s = 80000 m/s$

=> $KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 80000^2$

=> $KE_f = 5.34 *10^{-18} \ J$

$W = 5.34 *10^{-18} - 2.09 *10^{-24}$

$W = 5.34 *10^{-18} m/s$

Now this workdone is also mathematically represented as

$W = q * V$

$q * V = 5.34 *10^{-18}$

Here $q = 1.60*10^{-19} C$

$V = \frac{5.34 *10^{-18} }{1.60*10^{-19}}$

$V = 33.4 \ V$

Generally proton movement is in the direction of the electric field it means that $VA>VB$

$VB - VA = - 33.4$

What is the speed of an object that moves from 70 m to 68 m in 14 s?

PtichkaEL [24]

Speed = m/s
Velocity can be negative, but speed cannot.

70 - 68 = 2
2/14 = 0.143 m/s

A 0.5 m diameter wagon wheel consists of a thin rim having a mass of 7 kg and six spokes, each with a mass of 1.2 kg. 1.2 kg 7 k

Arte-miy333 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the rim of wheel, m₁ = 7 kg

Mass of one spoke, m₂ = 1.2 kg

Diameter of the wagon, d = 0.5 m

Radius of the wagon, r = 0.25 m

Let I is the the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis.

We know that the moment of inertia of the ring is given by :

$I_1=m_1r^2$

$I_1=7\times (0.25)^2=0.437\ kgm^2$

The moment of inertia of the rod about one end is given by :

$I_2=\dfrac{m_2l^2}{3}$

l = r

$I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{3}$

$I_2=\dfrac{1.2\times (0.25)^2}{3}=0.025\ kgm^2$

For 6 spokes, $I_2=0.025\times 6=0.15\ kgm^2$

So, the net moment of inertia of the wagon is :

$I=I_1+I_2$

$I=0.437+0.15=0.587\ kgm^2$

So, the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis is $0.587\ kgm^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
