Answer:
Part a)
distance = 112 miles
Part b)
current position = 112 miles from the position of town
Explanation:
Part a)
Since the distance marker is showing the distance between the town and the position of john at all time
so here we have

Part b)
Current position of John is given as

from the position of the town
Answer:
Net force on the wagon is 200 N
Explanation:
As we know by Newton's II law that net force on the system of mass is given as product of mass and acceleration
Here we know that
mass = 100 kg
a = 2 m/s/s
now we have



Let us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.
Let they are separated by a distance of r from each other.
As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as -
where G is the gravitational force constant.
From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and 
Let the orbital radius of planet A is
= r and mass of planet is
.
Let the mass of central star is m .
Hence the gravitational force for planet A is 
For planet B the orbital radius
and mass
Hence the gravitational force 
![f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f_%7B2%7D%20%3DG%5Cfrac%7Bm%2A3m_%7B1%7D%20%7D%7B%5B2r_%7B1%7D%5D%20%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D)

Hence the ratio is
