Potential energy (PE ) = m g h
Where:
m = mass = 3800 kg
g = acceleration due gravity = 10 m/s^2
h = heigth = 110 meters
Replacing:
PE = 3800 * 10 * 110 = 4,180,000 J
Your "weight" is the name you give to that gravitational force.
So your question actually says:
"Your weight just got three times stronger !
What happens to your weight ?"
Answer:
Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
You've given the answer, right there in your question.
The "magnitude of gravity" is described in terms of the acceleration
due to it, and you just told us what that is.
We can also notice that the figure you gave is about 0.66 of the
acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface. That tells us that
the distance from the Earth's center at that height is about
(1 / √0.66) = 1.23 times
the Earth's radius, so the height is about 910 miles above the surface.
Answer:
Planets are bodies of rock or gas that are named after ancient gods.
Asteroids and Meteoroids are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth.
The terrestrial planets are more like the Earth.
The Juno spacecraft is exploring the planet Jupiter.
Explanation:
The planets and other stars in our solar system were similarly baptized. The planets were named after ancient gods. Other stars were baptized with names chosen by scientists or according to their peculiarity. Most of the planets were baptized by ancient Chinese astronomers, and later, by Babylonians. But over time different civilizations changed the names of the planets.
An asteroid is a smaller body in the solar system, usually on the order of just a few hundred kilometers. Meteoroids, in turn, are fragments of rocks that form from comets and asteroids. The luminous effect is produced when fragments of celestial bodies ignite in contact with the Earth's atmosphere due to friction. Both asteroids and meteoroids are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth.
The terrestrial planets are the most similar to the earth. These planets are those formed mainly by rocks and metals, have a solid surface without the incidence of rings, as is the case with Mercury, Venus and Mars.
The Juno spacecraft is exploring the planet Jupiter. This probe has already given us several unprecedented discoveries about the largest gas giant in the Solar System, in addition to sending us sensational images showing the complex and beautiful atmosphere of the planet.
