Answer:

your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane

Explanation:

Technically, because gravity is weaker the farther you are from a gravitational source, your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane. It would change even more if you're in space or on a planet with a different mass than Earth.

stira [4]

Answer:

4.81*10^{29}J

Explanation:

Since the formula for kinetic energy of an object is:

E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2}

Where m is the mass of the object and v is the speed. We can substitute m = 3*10^{21}kg and v = 17900m/s:

E_k = \frac{3*10^{21} * (17900)^2}{2} = 4.81*10^{29}J

In this lab you will use a cart and track to explore various aspects of motion. You will measure and record the time it takes th
Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.  

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.

frez [133]

Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.

An exoplanet with one half of Earth's mass and 50% of Earth's radius is discovered.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The space cadet that weighs 800 N on Earth will weigh 1,600 N on the exoplanet

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the exoplanet = 1/2×The mass of the Earth, M = 1/2 × M

The radius of the exoplanet = 50% of the radius of the Earth = 1/2 × The Earth's radius, R = 50/100 × R = 1/2 × R

The weight of the cadet on Earth = 800 N

The \ weight, W  =G\dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 800 \ N

Therefore, for the weight of the cadet on the exoplanet, W₁, we have;

W_1   =G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2}  \times m}{ \left ( \dfrac{R}{2} \right ) ^{2}} = G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2}  \times m \times 4}{ R ^{2}} = 2 \times G \times  \dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 2 \times 800 \, N = 1,600 \, N

The weight of a space cadet on the exoplanet, that weighs 800 N on Earth = 1,600 N.
