Answer:

Point A

Explanation:

Recall that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the 2 objects.

This means that the farther away the objects are from each other, the lesser their gravitational interaction will be.

In this case we can see that Point A is furthest away from the star, hence this will be the location with the least gravitational force from the star.

Answer:

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?

Explanation:

In an elliptical orbit, when a planet is at its furthest point from the Sun, it is under the least amount of gravity, meaning that the force of gravity is strongest when it is closest.

A box mass of 24kg is being pulled horizontally on a rough surface by an applied force of 585N. The coefficient of kinetic frict

Elan Coil [88]

the normal force is the force applied opposite to the weight of the was box. So the normal force is equal to the weight of the box = 24 kg *(9.81 m/s2) = 235.44 N

the acceleration of the box be solve using newtons 2nd law of motion:

F = ma

a = F/ m = 585 N/ 24 kg = 24.38 m/s2

Jeff of the Jungle swings on a 7.6-m vine that initially makes an angle of 32 ∘ with the vertical.

shtirl [24]

To solve this problem we will use the trigonometric concepts to find the distance h, which will allow us to find the speed of Jeff and that will finally be the variable that will indicate the total tension, since it is the variable of the centrifugal Force given in the vine at the lowest poing of the swing.

From the image:

$cos (32) = \frac{(7.6-h)}{7.6}$

$h = 1.1548m$

When Jeff reaches his lowest point his potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

$PE = KE$

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.1548)}$

$v= 4.75m/s$

Tension in the string at the lowest point is sum of weight of Jeff and the his centripetal force

$T = W+F_c$

$T = mg + \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$T = (83)(9.8)+\frac{(9.8)( 4.75)^2}{7.6}$

$T = 842.49N$

Therefore the tension in the vine at the lowest point of the swing is 842.49N
