Answer:

The object would weight 63 N on the Earth surface

Explanation:

We can use the general expression for the gravitational force between two objects to solve this problem, considering that in both cases, the mass of the Earth is the same. Notice as well that we know the gravitational force (weight) of the object at 3200 km from the Earth surface, which is (3200 + 6400 = 9600 km) from the center of the Earth:

F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\28\,\,N=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{9600000^2}

Now, if the body is on the surface of the Earth, its weight (w) would be:

F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\w=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{6400000^2}

Now we can divide term by term the two equations above, to cancel out common factors and end up with a simple proportion:

\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9600000^2}{6400000^2} \\\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9}{4} \\\\ \\w=\frac{9\,*\,28}{4}\,\,\,N\\w=63\,\,N \\

kvasek [131]

Answer: |F| = 1.28 x 10⁵ N

Explanation:

an impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔv

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 2000(0 - 32) / 0.5

F = -128,000

|F| = 1.28 x 10⁵ N

A constant friction force of 25 N acts on a 65-kg skier for 15 s on level snow. What is the skier’s change in velocity
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

\Delta v=5.77m/s

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law relates the net force <em>F</em> on an object of mass <em>m </em>with the acceleration <em>a</em> it experiments by <em>F=ma.</em> In our case the net force is the friction force, since it's the only one the skier is experimenting horizontally and the vertical ones cancel out since he's not moving in that direction. Our acceleration then will be:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Also, acceleration is defined by the change of velocity \Delta v in a given time t, so we have:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}

Since we want the change in velocity, <em>mixing both equations</em> we conclude that:

\Delta v=at=\frac{Ft}{m}

Which for our values means:

\Delta v=\frac{Ft}{m}=\frac{(25N)(15s)}{(65Kg)}=5.77m/s

An object on a number line moved from x = 15 cm to x = 165 cm and
podryga [215]

Answer:

v_avg = 2.9 cm/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of the object is the sum of the distance of all its trajectories divided the time:

x_all is the total distance traveled by the object. In this case you have that the object traveled in the first trajectory 165cm-15cm = 150cm, and in the second one, 165cm - 25cm = 140cm

Then, x_all = 150cm + 140cm = 290cm

The average velocity is, for t = 100s

hence, the average velocity of the object in the total trajectory traveled is 2.9 cm/s
