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

The singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter. Explain this using what you know about resonance.
rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

Resonance: Resonance is the phenomenon which occurs when the applied frequency on the object is equal to its natural frequency.

In the given problem, the singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter.

This occurs due to the phenomenon resonance. The applied frequency of the singing of an opera singer on the drinking glass matches with the natural frequency of the drinking glass. It causes a glass to shatter.
