The gravitational force on the woman is A) 500 N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the woman during her fall:

  • The force of gravity, F_G, acting downward
  • The air resistance, F_D, acting upward

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the woman is equal to the product between the woman's mass and her acceleration:

\sum F=ma

where m is the mass of the woman and a her acceleration.

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_G - F_D

Also, we know that the woman falls at a constant velocity (5 m/s), this means that her acceleration is zero:

a=0

Combining the equations together, we get:

F_G-F_D = 0

which means that the magnitude of the gravitational force is equal to the magnitude of the air resistance:

F_G=F_D=500 N

Answer: A) 500N

Explanation: To be in equilibrium the weight must be equal to 500N to balance out air resistance.

What 3 points must an object possess to be considered a planet
Vitek1552 [10]
<span>1. It must be an object which independently orbits the Sun (this means moons can't be considered planets, since they orbit planets)
2. It must have enough mass that its own gravity pulls it into a spheroidal shape.
3. </span><span>It must be large enough to "dominate" its orbit (i.e. its mass must be much larger than anything else which crosses its orbit).</span>

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.550 m/s. The to
Arisa [49]

Answer: 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of the sled, v = 0.55 m/s

Total mass, m = 96.5 kg

Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg

Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s

To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns

When the man throws the rock forward

rock:

m1 = 0.300 kg

V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg

v2 = ?

Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.

momentum before throw = momentum after throw

53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2

53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2

v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2

v2 = 47.83 / 96.2

v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s
