Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration caused by centripetal force. It is equal to the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of the circular path.

a = v² / r

What is the gravitational force on a 70kg that is 6.38x10^6m above the earths surface

NARA [144]

Answer:

171.5 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force on an object due to the Earth is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity at a certain height h above the Earth is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}$

where:

G is the gravitational constant

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ is the Earth's mass

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ is the Earth's radius

Here,

$h=6.38\cdot 10^6 m$

So the acceleration due to gravity is

$g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 6.38\cdot 10^6)^2}=2.45 m/s^2$

We know that the mass of the object is

m = 70 kg

So, the gravitational force on it is

$F=mg=(70)(2.45)=171.5 N$

Use the graph below to answer the following question: if average acceleration is calculated using the equation, “ change in velo

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$a=9\ cm/s^2$

Explanation:

Average Acceleration

Acceleration is a physical magnitude defined as the change of velocity over time. When we have experimental data, we can compute it by calculating the slope of the line in velocity vs time graph.

Note: We cannot see if the time axis is numbered in increments of 1 second, and we'll assume that.

When $t_2=4\ sec$ , the graph shows a value of $v_2=36\ cm/s$
