<h2>Force = 49 N</h2>

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction on the surface of earth F = G M m/R²

Here G = gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

M = mass of the earth and m = mass of the body on the surface of earth .

R = radius of earth

In this question

mass of earth = 6 x 10²⁴ kg  and its radius = 6 x 10⁶ m

The values are substituted in the above equation

F = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 6 x 10²⁴ x 5 / ( 6 x 10⁶ )² =  49 N

The mass will be attracted by 49 N of force .

Consider the case of the car starting at rest and accelerating forward. A. Since the air inside the car is not leaking out, it m
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The force originates from the tires. Tires accelerate the car. The car interior in turn accelerates the air inside the car by providing a pushing force. Thus it is the car read windows, seats and side windows that push the air forward causing it to accelerate.

Explanation:

The air inside the car is being forced forward by the car interior. This includes the rear windows, seats, side windows etc.

This accelerating force originates from the tires, and makes the car interior accelerate with the car. The air inside (since it has no direct connection to the tires) is then pushed forward by the windows, seats etc.

What do we know about the relative strength of the electric field around each object?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

A charged object in an electric field experiences a force due to the field. The electric field strength, E, at a point in the field is defined as the force per unit charge on a positive test charge placed at that point.
