$g_P=G\frac{m}{r^2}$ ., where $g_P$ is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface, $G$ is gravitational constant $6.67\cdot 10^{-11}$ , $m$ is the mass of the planet, and $r$ is the radius of the planet.

Since acceleration due to gravity is given as $m/s^2$ , our radius should be meters. Therefore, convert $2400$ kilometers to meters:

$2400\:\mathrm{km}=2,400,000\:\mathrm{m}$ .

Now plugging in our values, we get:

$3.6=6.67\cdot10^{-11}\frac{m}{(2,400,000)^2}$ ,

Solving for $m$ :

$m=\frac{2,400,000^2\cdot3.6}{6.67\cdot 10^{-11}},\\m=\fbox{$3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}$}$ .

What net force is required to accelerate a car at a rate of 2m/s^2 if the car has a mass of 3,000kg? plus explanation with equat

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 3000 kg

acceleration = 2 m/s²

We have

force = 3000 × 2 = 6000

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
