"60 kg" is not a weight.  It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.

The weight of the object is   

                                 (mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .

On the surface of the Earth,

                   Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                                =      588 Newtons.

Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to  5R  from the center, the gravity out there is

                    (1R/5R)²  =  (1/5)²  =  1/25  =  0.04 of its value on the surface.

The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.

                 (0.04) x (588 Newtons)  =  23.52 Newtons.

Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.
___________________________________________

If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink. 
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.

how much power is needed to lift a box with a force of 780 newtons over a distance of 2 meters in 45 seconds
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

<h2>34.67 W</h2>

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done and can be found by using the formula

p =  \frac{w}{t}  \\

p is the power in Watts (W)

w is the workdone in joules

t is time in s

but workdone = force × distance

From the question

force = 780 N

distance = 2 m

workdone = 780 × 2 = 1560 N

Since we now have the value of workdone we can find the power

We have

p =  \frac{1560}{45}  = 34.6666666... \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>34.67 W</h3>

Hope this helps you

In a shuffleboard game, the puck slides a total of 12 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient ofkinetic friction between the
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

puck decelerates due to the kinetic frictional force μk mg

Explanation:

given data

total distance = 12 m

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.28

solution

we will apply equation of motion that is

v² - u² = 2 × a × s    ................1

we know acceleration will be

a = \frac{-u^2}{2\times S}  

Then we have

Force = mass × acceleration   .................2

m × \frac{-u^2}{2\times S} = -μk mg

The puck decelerates due to the kinetic frictional force μk mg  

and frictional force is negative as it opposes the motion.

so we get initial velocity of the puck which is strike.
