The force of gravity between two objects is given by:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation

In this problem, the mass of the object is m_1=0.60 kg, while the Earth's mass is m_2=5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg. Their separation is r=1.3 \cdot 10^7 m, therefore the gravitational force exerted on the object is
F=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}) \frac{(0.60 kg)(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(1.3 \cdot 10^7 m)^2}=1.4 N

A student who weighs 550 N is wearing a backpack that weighs 80 N. The student is standing still on level ground. Give your answ
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of the net force on the student = 0 N since the student is standing still on level ground and upward reaction force = downward force.

b) the magnitude of the contact force on the student by the backpack = 80 N since the student was backing the backpack

c) the magnitude of the contact force o the student by the ground = 550 N + 80 N = 630 N reactional force on the student

Orbital velocity is the average speed ofa planet moving through space in itsorbit around the sun. Which of thefollowing planets
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Mercury

Explanation:

The force of gravity is equal to the mass times the centripetal acceleration:

Fg = m v² / r

Also, the force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states the Fg = mMG / r², where m and M are the masses of the objects, G is the universal constant of gravitation, and r is the distance between the objects.

mMG / r² = m v²/ r

MG / r = v²

This means the square of the orbital velocity is equal to the mass of the sun times the universal constant of gravity divided by the orbital radius.  So whichever planet has the smallest orbital radius will have the highest orbital velocity.  Of the four options, that would be Mercury.

if you double the mass of an object while leaving the net force unchanged what is the result of the acceleration
butalik [34]
Force = mass*acceleration
acceleration = Force/mass

If you double the mass then acceleration will be halved in order for the equation to still equal.

New acceleration = Force/(2)mass
New acceleration = (1/2)* Force/mass------->if you compare this to original acceleration equation above it is 1/2
