A person standing on the surface of the earth has a weight of 650 N. What is its weight at a distance of two earth radii from th

e surface? If the person is at a distance of two earth radii from the surface, he/she is at a distance of three earth radii from the earth’s center. Since we have an inverse square law, three times the distance means 1/9th of the weight.

Answer:

72.22 N

Explanation:

F = weight

m = mass of body

M = mass of earth

R = radius of earth

G = universal constant of gravitation

F_1= 650 N

F_1 = GMm/R^2

two earth radius above the surface of the earth:

F_2=  GMm/(3R)^2=  GMm/9R^2= F_1/9= 650/9

=72.22 N

An electric model train is accelerated at a rate of 8 m/s^2 by a 12 N force? What is the
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

m = 1.5 kg

Explanation:

Data:

  • Aceleration (a) = 8 m/s²
  • Force (F) = 12 N
  • Mass (m) = ?

Use formula:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{F}{a}}

Replace in the formula:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{12N}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

Equate the newtons:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{12kg*\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

Simplify m/s²:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{12kg}{8}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{m =1.5kg}

What is the mass of the train?

The mass of the train is <u>1.5 kilograms.</u>

A car traveling at 43 km/h hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car moves forward a distance of 54 cm (with respect to the
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

F = -6472.9 N

F= -6.47 kN

Explanation:

First of all you have to convert the data to SI  units

so for the velocity you have :

Vi = 43km/h *(1000m/1km)*(1h/3600s)  ---> using conversion factors

Vi= 11.9444 m/s

dX : distance the passanger moves

dX = 54cm*(1m/100cm)   -->  using conversion factors

dX = 0.54 m

Now to calculate the force we are going to use the sum of focers equals to mass for acceleration:

Sum F = m*a

We have to find a so we are going to use the velocity's formula as follows to solve a:

Vf ^2 = Vi^2 +2*a*dX

Vf=0  --> the passenger does not move after the airbag inflates.

a= -(Vi^2)/(2*dX)

you solve de acceleration with the data you hae and you will find

a = -132.1 m/ s^2

Now you can solve the Sum F equation

Sum F = 49 Kg * (-132.1 m/s^2)

F = -6472.9 N

F= -6.47 kN

Zanzabum

Answer:

A) The green cars's velocity has the same magnitude as the blue car's velocity.

B) the difference about their velocity is the direction of the velocity which is 180° in the opposite directions.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude shows the size, and the direction shows the path the motion takes.

Both cars have the same magnitude but different directions. The difference in their direction is at a 180°angle.

Newton’s first law states that if an objects velocity is changing a _____ must be acting on it.
klio [65]
<h3>Answer: </h3>

(a)

<h3>Explanation </h3>
  • Newtons First Law can be written as the formula

f = ma

since acceleration is the changing of velocity as its formula is

\frac{v2 - v1}{t}

Thus, a force must be acting on an accelerating/decelerating object

  • It is not mass as the mass does not act on the object but rather the mass is acting on the surface of the ground.

  • Changing velocity is already acceleration

  • inertia is the term used to describe Newtons first law
