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

Physics

Anastaziya [24]3 years ago

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 1 kg particle moves upward from the origin to (23) m. Wit is work done by the force of gravity which is in - y direction s B.
sveta [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 1 kg

Position (2, 3 ) m

height, h = 2 m

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

Here, no force is acting in horizontal direction, the force of gravity is acting in vertical direction, so the work done by the gravitational force is to be calculated.

Force  mass x acceleration due to gravity

F = 1 x 9.8 = 9.8 N

Work = force x displacement x CosФ

Where, Ф be the angle between force vector and the displacement vector.

Here the value of Ф is 180° as the force acting vertically downward and the displacement is upward

So, W = 9.8 x 2 x Cos 180°

W = - 19.6 J

Thus, option (A) is correct.
