4. What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that acts on a man

Physics

The gravitational force acting on the man is 800 N towards the Earth's centre

Explanation:

The weight of an object on the Earth is exactly the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the radius of the Earth

And the direction of the force is towards the Earth's centre.

Since G, M and R are constant, they are grouped into a single constant called g, acceleration of gravity:

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

therefore the gravitational force can be rewritten as

F=mg

And this is the usual equation that we use to calculate the weight of an object.

Therefore, weight and gravitational force acting on an object on Earth are the same thing: so, the gravitational force acting on the man is equal to his weight, 800 N, and it acts towards the Earth's center.

Roger drives his car at a constant speed of 80 km/hr. How far can he travel in 2 hrs. and 30 minutes?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

200 km/hr

Explanation:

Since he goes 80km per hour, multiply this by 2.5 or two and a half hours.

80 x 2.5 = 200 km/hr.

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is 2.10×10^{4} 4 m/s^{2} 2 , and 1.85 ms (1
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

Explanation:

given data:

acceleration = 2.10*10^4 m/s^2

time = 1.85*10^{-3} s

final velocity = 0 m/s

from equation of motion we have following relation

v = u +at

0 =  u + 2.10*10^4 *1.85*10^{-3}

0 = u + (21 *1.85)

0 = u + 38.85

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

negative sign indicate that the ball bounce in opposite directon
