Answer: 250n
Explanation:
The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2
There are two factors at play here:
1) The mass of the planet 'M'
2) The radius 'r'
We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.
You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:
Earth. F = M/r^2 = 1/1
New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2
So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.
The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!
If you are given a 52 Newton bird feeder tied to a cord, it means that it has a weight of 52 Newton. Since the bird feeder is not moving, we assume it to exert a force downward, that is its weight, and the cord that ties it, the force is upward. This upward force is the tension and is therefore equal to 52N.
If the award weighs 200 newtons and 200 newtons equals 44.96 pounds of force even though it is of such a force if it hits the ground the energy will either discharge into the air doing nothing but creating a loud sound or it will discharge into the ground altering the ground that it landed on.
Hope this helps :)
