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

Physics

NARA [144]3 years ago

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

When energy is added to a wave, how can the wave change?.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

When waves overlap in-phase (crest meets crest or trough meets trough) the waves energy is additive and the amplitude increases.

Explanation:

When waves overlap out-of-phase (crest meets trough) the waves cancel and the amplitude (energy) decreases. When two interfering waves cancel each other out.

A car and a motorcycle start from rest at the same time on a straight track, but the motorcycle is 25.0 m behind the car. The ca
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

t = 8.45 sec

car distance d = 132.09  m

bike distance d = 157.08 m

Explanation:

GIVEN :

motorcycle is 25 m behind the car , therefore distance need to covered by bike to overtake car is 25+ d, when car reache distance d at time t

for car

by equation of motion

d  = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

u = 0 starting from rest

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

t^2 = \frac{2d}{a}

for bike

d+25 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*4.40t^2

t^2= \frac{d+25}{2.20}

equating time of both

\frac{2d}{a} = \frac{d+25}{2.20}

solving for d we get

d = 132 m

therefore t is= \sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}

t =  \sqrt{\frac{2*132}{3.70}}

t = 8.45 sec

each travelled in time 8.45 sec as

for car

d = \frac{1}{2}*3.70 *8.45^2

d = 132.09  m

fro bike

d = \frac{1}{2}*4.40 *8.45^2

d = 157.08 m

a child in a tree house uses a rope attached to a basket to lift a 26 nn dog upward through a distance of 5.0 mm into the house.
agasfer [191]

Total work done is 0.13 Joules

<h3>What is work done ?</h3>

The sum of the displacement and the component of the applied force of the object in the displacement direction is the work done by a force.

According to the given information

We need to find the work done

work done  = force × distance

We are given,

force  = 26 N

Distance = 0.0005 meter

hence ,

Work done  = 26 × 0.005  

                   = 0.13 Joules

Total work done is 0.13 Joules
