An object weighs 60.0 kg on the surface of the earth. How much does it weigh 4R from the surface? (5R from the center)

"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.

poizon [28]

Answer:

Q = q_e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Explanation:

As we know that charge is always conserved

so here we have

initial total charge = final total charge

also we know that gamma rays are chargeless and massless particles

so we have

charge on deuterium is given as

Q = charge on proton + charge on neutron - charge on gamma

so we have

Q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}

Q = q_e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

40 metros en 10 segundos.

Explicación:

Una grúa está levantando una caja de 1000 kg atada a una cadena y la caja, que inicialmente está en reposo, aumenta su velocidad en 4 m / s por segundo, por lo que si la región de colocación está a 40 metros de distancia, la grúa tarda 10 segundos en completar el proceso. tarea de movimiento y colocación de la caja. La grúa se utiliza para levantar y mover cargas pesadas, máquinas, materiales y mercancías para diferentes propósitos. Entonces el trabajo realizado por la grúa depende de la velocidad y la distancia de colocación.
