Earth's gravitational pull just got threetimes stronger! what happens to your weight/

Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.

Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.

The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.

If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.

The equation r (t )=(2t + 4)⋅i + (√ 7 )t⋅ j + 3t ²⋅k the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the angle between the v
velikii [3]

Answer:

\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}

Explanation:

We should first find the velocity and acceleration functions. The velocity function is the derivative of the position function with respect to time, and the acceleration function is the derivative of the velocity function with respect to time.

\vec{v}(t) = \frac{d\vec{r}(t)}{dt} = (2)\^i + (\sqrt{7})\^j + (6t)\^k

Similarly,

\vec{a}(t) = \frac{d\vec{v}(t)}{dt} = (6)\^k

Now, the angle between velocity and acceleration vectors can be found.

The angle between any two vectors can be found by scalar product of them:

\vec{A}.\vec{B} = |\vec{A}|.|\vec{B}|.\cos(\theta)

So,

\vec{v}(t).\vec{a}(t) = |\vec{v}(t)|.|\vec{a}(t)|.\cos(\theta)\\36t = \sqrt{4 + 7 + 36t^2}.6.\cos(\theta)

At time t = 0, this equation becomes

0 = 6\sqrt{11}\cos(\theta)\\\cos(\theta) = 0\\\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}

A person fires a 38 gram bullet straight up into the air. It rises, then falls straight back down, striking the ground with a sp
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Force exerted = 25.41 kN

Explanation:

We have equation of motion

      v² = u²+2as

u = 345 m/s, s = 8.9 cm = 0.089 m, v = 0 m/s

     0² = 345²+2 x a x 0.089

       a = -668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = Mass x Acceleration

Mass of bullet = 38 g = 0.038 kg

Acceleration = 668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = 25409.83 N = 25.41 kN
