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.

<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 softball of mass 0.220 kg that is moving with a speed of 5.5 m/s (in the positive direction) collides head-on and elastically

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The velocity and mass of the target ball are 1.6 m/s and 1.29 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of softball = 0.220 kg

Speed = 5.5 m/s

(a). We need to calculate the velocity of the target ball

Using conservation of momentum

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

$0.220\times5.5+m_{2}\times0=0.220\times(-3.9)+m_{2}v_{2}$

$1.21=-0.858+m_{2}v_{2}$

$m_{2}v_{2}=2.068$ ....(I)

The velocity approach is equal to the separation of velocity

$u_{1}-u_{2}=v_{2}-v_{1}$

$5.5-0=v_{2}-(-3.9)$

$v_{2}=1.6\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the mass of the target ball

Now, Put the value of v₂ in equation (I)

$m_{2}\times1.6=2.068$

$m_{2}=\dfrac{2.068}{1.6}$

$m_{2}=1.29\ kg$

Hence, The velocity and mass of the target ball are 1.6 m/s and 1.29 kg.

Ludmilka [50]

Particles transfer energy physically from one to the other either horizontally in a longitudinal wave, vertically in a transverse wave, or in circles in a surface wave. Waves can also be electromagnetic, which are always transverse and do not require a medium to propagate, like light waves traveling through space.

PUBE: DATE: A particle is moving in a straight line with constant acceleration. it passes point p with speed of 2ms. ten seconds

ddd [48]

Answer:4m/s

Explanation:The car is moving with constant acceleration therefore average speed is equal to distance over time to find the distance covered we multiple the speed by the time which gives 20 metres meaning after every 20 metres it uses a speed of 2m/s so for 40 metres it's going to be 40 x2 over 20 giving us 4m/s

PIT_PIT [208]

Because air and water have different density.
Air is less dense than water.
So, the light will bend towards normal.
Thus, the angle of refraction is smaller than angle of incidence.
This phenomena is known as refraction.
