The gravitational field intensity (EG) or (g) is the force on a unit mass at a point in the field.

Since the force (F) on a body of mass m in a gravitational field of a body of mass M = GMm/r2 .

you can see that the force per unit mass is given by F/m. So:

Gravitational Field Intensity (EG) = (g) = F/m = GM/r2

The units for EG are N kg -1 or since F = ma, F/m = a and so EG may be expressed in ms -2

Hope this will help you :))

Do give this answer a brainliest :D

Why can you see glass and your reflection

Schach [20]

<span>Glass is transparent meaning light passes through it and therefore you can see through it, but some light reflects back and if the surface is very smooth as glass often is then the light reflected back can be seen as a reflected image.</span>

A sailboat moves north for a distance of 15.00 km when blown by a wind from the exact southeast with a force of 3.00 x 10^-4 N.

Zolol [24]

These are actually 4 different exercises:

ex 1) The sailboat moves north, while the wind moves from southeast. This means the angle between the direction of the boat and the wind is $45^{\circ}$ .

Calling F the force of the wind, and $d=15~km=15000~m$ the distance covered by the boat, the work done by the wind is:
$W=Fdcos{\theta}=3\cdot10^{-4}~N \cdot 15000~m\cdot cos 45^{\circ}=3.18~J$

The total time of the motion is $t=1~h=3600~s$ and therefore the power of the wind is
$P= \frac{W}{t} = \frac{3.18~J}{3600~s}=8.8\cdot10^{-4}~W$

ex 2) First of all, let's calculate the length of the ramp. Given the two sizes 2.00 m and 6.00 m, we have
$d= \sqrt{(2~m)^2+(6~m)^2}= 6.32~m$

The mechanical advantage (MA) of the ramp is the ratio between the output load (W) and the input force (F). The output load is the weight of the load, mg, therefore:
$MA= \frac{W}{F}= \frac{mg}{F}= \frac{195~Kg\cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{750~N}=2.55$

Finally, the efficiency $\epsilon$ of the ramp is the ratio between the output energy and the work done. The output energy is simply the potential energy (Ep) of the load, which is mgh, where h is the height of the ramp. The work done W is the product between the input force, F, and the displacement of the load, which is the length of the ramp: Fd. Therefore:
$\epsilon = \frac{E_p}{W}= \frac{mgh}{Fd}= \frac{195~Kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2\cdot 2~m}{750~N\cdot6.32~m}=0.81$

ex 3) the graph is missing

ex 4) We know that the power is the ratio between the work done W and the time t:
$P= \frac{W}{t}$
But we can rewrite the work as
$W=Fdcos\theta$
where F is the force applied, d the displacement of rock and $\theta=60^{\circ]$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement (3 m).
Therefore we can rewrite the power as
$P= \frac{W}{t} = \frac{F d cos\theta}{t}=F v cos\theta$
where $v=d/t=5~m/s$ is the velocity, Using the data of the exercise, we can then find the force, F:
$F= \frac{P}{v cos\theta} = \frac{250~W}{5~m/s \cdot cos 60^{\circ}}=100~N$

and now we can also calculate the work, which is
$W=Fdcos 60^{\circ}=100~N\cdot 3~m \cos60^{\circ}=150~J$
