The new gravitation force at the new location is 40 N

Explanation:

The weight of the astronaut is given by the equation

F=mg (1)

where

m is the mass of the astronaut

g is the acceleration of gravity

The acceleration of gravity at a certain distance r from the centre of the Earth is given by

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

where G is the gravitational constant and M is the Earth's mass. So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

When the astronaut is on the Earth's surface, r=R (where R is the Earth's radius), so his weight is

F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}=640 N

Later, he moves to another location where his distance from the Earth's surface is 3 times the previous distance, so the new distance from the Earth's centre is

r'=3R+R=4R

Therefore, the new weight is

F'=\frac{GMm}{(4R)^2}=\frac{1}{16}\frac{GMm}{R^2}=\frac{F}{16}

Which means that his weight has decreased by a factor 16: therefore, the new weight is

F'=\frac{640}{16}=40 N

Calculate the amount of momentum of an object with a mass of 10 kg travelling al a
irina [24]

Answer:

50kg.m/s

Explanation:

In order to find momentum you must use the formula P=mv

p= momentum

m=mass

v= velocity

so in other words, momentum= mass times velocity

or in this case, momentum= 10 times 5  :)

The girl makes a microscope with a 3.0 cm focal length objective and a 5.0 cm eyepiece. The microscope tube length is 10 cm. Use
saul85 [17]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Magnification. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called "magnification".

The overall magnification of microscope is

M = \frac{Nl}{f_ef_0}

Where

N = Near point

l = distance between the object lens and eye lens

f_0= Focal length

f_e= Focal of eyepiece

Given that the minimum distance at which the eye is able to focus is about 25cm we have that N = 25cm

Replacing,

M = \frac{25*10}{3*5}

M = 16.67\approx 17\\

Therefore the correct answer is C.

1. What is the momentum of a 1550 kg car that is traveling leftward at a velocity of 15 m/s?
Alik [6]

Answer:

Momentum, p = 23250 kg m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of a car, m = 1550 kg

Speed pf car, v = 15 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the car. The formula for the momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Substituting all the values in the above formula

p = 1550 kg × 15 m/s

p = 23250 kg m/s

So, the momentum of the car is 23250 kg m/s.
