The gravitational field is the Force divided by the mass
Call g the gravitational fiel, F the force exerted by the earth and m the mass of the telescope.
g = F / m
g=9.1x10^4 N / 1.1 x 10^4 kg = 8.27 N/kg
Note that the unit N/kg is equivalent to m/s^2
Answer:
The distance to the wall does not matter.
Explanation:
According to newton's third law, if you exert a force on the tennis ball to propel it northwards, it will exert equal and opposite force on you to propel you southwards. Therefore, how much you accelerate only depends on how fast you through the balls. And once a ball has left the system<em> ( consisting of you and the ball)</em>, it can no longer have an effect on you, so it doesn't matter whether the ball hits a wall nearby or the one millions of miles away.
<em>P.S: all of this is true assuming the balls don't bounce back from the wall and hit you in the face, which would surely give you additional southward acceleration, but it wouldn't be such a pleasant experience! </em>
Answer:
Force, F = 77 N
Explanation:
A child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward. It is due to Newton's third law of motion. The forward pull on wagon is called action force and the backward force is called reaction force. These two forces are equal in magnitude but they acts in opposite direction.
We need to calculate the force is needed to accelerate a sled. It can be calculated using the formula as :
F = m × a
Where
m = mass = 55 kg
a = acceleration = 1.4 m/s²
F = 77 N
So, the force needed to accelerate a sled is 77 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
An atom always has the same number of electrons as protons. Electrons have an electric charge of -1 and protons have an electric charge of +1. Therefore, the charges of an atom's electrons and protons “cancel out.” This explains why atoms are neutral in electric charge.

Answer: 6,400 km
Explanation:
The weight of a person is given by:
where m is the mass of the person and g is the acceleration due to gravity. While the mass does not depend on the height above the surface, the value of g does, following the formula:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the person from the Earth's center
The problem says that the person weighs 800 N at the Earth's surface, so when r=R (Earth's radius):
(1)
Now we want to find the height h above the surface at which the weight of the man is 200 N:
(2)
If we divide eq.(1) by eq.(2), we get
By solving the equation, we find:
which has two solutions:
--> negative solution, we can ignore it
--> this is our solution
Since the Earth's radius is , the person should be at above Earth's surface.
