Answer:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the involved formula is:

F=G*\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

By writing a dimensional analysis with the proper algebra handling, we obtain:

N[=]G*\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\ \\kg*\frac{m}{s^2}[=]G *\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\\\G[=]\frac{kg*m*m^2}{kg^2*s^2}\\ \\G[=]\frac{m^3}{kg*s^2}

Thus, answer is:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Note that the [=] is used to indicate the units of G.

Best regards

Suppose Joe, who can type 40 words per minute, takes 2.5 hours to type his report. To speed things up, his friend Mark offers to
Vika [28.1K]

Explanation:

When Joe works alone, the total number  of words he typed can be given by:

Total words = (40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hour) x (2.5 hours)

Total words = 6000 words

Now, when Joe and Mark work together, let 'y' be the number of hours for which they both work simultaneously:

Total words = Words Typed by Joe + Words Typed by Mark

6000 = {(40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)} + {(20 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)}

6000 = 2400y + 1200y = 3600y

y = 1.67 hours = 1 hour and 40 minutes

Thus, working together simultaneously, Joe and Mark will take 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete the report.

CP Bang! A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a large firecracker horizontally with a speed.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

 h = v₀ g / a

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the kinematic equations. As they indicate that the air does not influence the vertical movement, we can find the time it takes for the body to reach the floor

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

The vertical start speed is zero

            t² = 2t / g

The horizontal document has an acceleration, with direction opposite to the speed therefore it is negative, the expression is

            x = v₀ₓ t - ½ a t²

Indicates that it reaches the same exit point x = 0

           v₀ₓ t = ½ a t2

           v₀ₓ = ½ a (2h / g)

           v₀ₓ = v₀

           h = v₀ g / a
