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

Physics
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
5 0

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

A box accidentally drops from a truck traveling at a speed of 20.0 m/s and slides along the ground for a distance of 30.0 m Calc
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

The initial speed of the box ,u= 20 m/s

The final speed of the box ,v=  0 m/s

The distance cover by box ,s= 30 m

Lets take the acceleration of the box = a

We know that

v²= u ² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

0²=20² + 2 a x 30

a=- \dfrac{20^2}{2\times 30} \ m/s^2

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Negative sign indicates that velocity and acceleration are in opposite direction.

Therefore the acceleration of the box will be  - 6.667 m/s² .

According to Newton's Second Law, the force of the club hitting the golf ball will cause it to accelerate. At the moment of impa
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

<h3>According to Newton's third law, for every reaction there will be equal and opposite reaction</h3>

Here in this case the force of the club hitting the golf ball will be in one direction and the force acting on club due to golf ball will be in opposite direction and magnitude of this force will be same as the magnitude of the force of the club hitting the golf ball

In this case the action will be the force of the club hitting the golf ball and reaction will be the force acting on club due to golf ball

∴ The club pushes against to golf ball with a force equal and opposite to the force of the golf ball on the club

9. A 50 kg physics i student trudges from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor, going up a total height of 13 m.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

6370 J

Explanation:

By the law of energy conservation, the work done by the student would be the change in potential enegy from 1st floor to 3rd floor, or a change of 13 m

W = E_p = mgh

where m = 50kg is the mass of the student, g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational constant and h = 13 m is the height difference

W = 50*9.8*13 = 6370 J

a person dives off the edge of aa cliff 33m above the surface of the sea. assuming that air resistance is negligible, how long d
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The time is t = 2.595 \  s

The speed is v = 25.43 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The height of the cliff is  h =  33 \  m

 Generally from kinematic equation we have that

       h  =  ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

before the jump the persons initial velocity is  u =  0 m/s

 So

        33   =  0 * t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2

=>      t = 2.595 \  s

Generally from kinematic equation

     v= u + gt

=>  v= 0 + 9.8 * 2.595

=>  v = 25.43 \ m/s

An 80.0 kg hiker walks a distance of 400.0 m along a road that slopes 5.0 degrees upward, and then stops. What is the hiker's fi
lana66690 [7]
The height difference is found by
\delta H=400sin(5 \°)=34.86m
Then the change in potential energy is
E=mgh=(80.0kg)(9.8 \frac{kgm}{s^2})(34.86)= 27332J
