Answer:

$a=2\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

<u>Second Newton's Law</u>

The theory that explains the relationship between the forces applied to an object and its motion is the second Newton's law.

It states that the net force applied to an object of mass m is given by

$F_n=m.a$

Where a is the acceleration aquired by the object that will cause a change of its velocity.

In our problem, we must compute the acceleration

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F_n}{m}=\frac{10}{5}$

$\boxed{a=2\ m/s^2}$

Assume that the average mass of each of the approximately 1 billion people in China is 55 kg.Assume that they all gather in one

Harman [31]

Answer: $5.9(10)^{-8} m$

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the center of mass $C_{M}$ of a particle system is:

$C_{M}=\frac{m_{1}r_{1}+m_{1}r_{1}+...+m_{n}r_{n}}{m_{1}+m_{2}+...+m_{n}}$

In this case we can arrange for one dimension, assuming the geometric center of the Earth and the ladder are on a line, and assuming original center of mass located at the Earth's geometric center:

$C_{M}=\frac{m_{E}(0 m) + m_{p} r_{E-p}}{m_{E}+m_{p}}$

Where:

$m_{E}=5.9(10)^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m_{p}=55(10)^{9} kg$ is the mass of 1 billion people

$r_{E}=6371000 m$ is the radius of the Earth

$r_{E-p}=6371000 m- 2m=6370998 m$ is the distance between the center of the Earth and the position of the people (2 m above the Earth's surface)

$C_{M}=\frac{m_{p}55(10)^{9} kg (6370998 m)}{5.9(10)^{24} kg+55(10)^{9} kg}$

$C_{M}=5.9(10)^{-8} m$ This is the displacement of Earth's center of mass from the original center.

What is the work required for a penguin to push a box 2 meters with a force of 8 newtons?

choli [55]

Work done is given by product of force and displacement due to that force

So here we will have

$Work = Force \times displacement$

here we know that

$Force = 8 N$

$displacement = 2 m$

Now work done is given as

$W = 8\times 2$

$W = 16 J$

so it will do 16 J work to move the box
