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

If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the maximum speed of the oscillat

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled , then maximum speed of the oscillator changes by the factor 2

Explanation:

We know that in a simple harmonic oscillator the maximum speed is given by

$v_{max}$ = $Aw$

Here A is amplitude which is constant , so from above equation we see that maximum speed is directly proportional to $w\\$ of the oscillation .
