v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

A 58 kg skier is going down a 35 degree slope. The areaof each
maxonik [38]

To solve this problem we will use a free body diagram that allows us to determine the Normal Force.

In general, the normal force would be equivalent to

N = mgcos\theta

Since the skier is standing on two skis, his weight will be divide by two

N' = \frac{mgcos\theta}{2}

Pressure is given as the force applied in a given area, that is

P = \frac{F}{A}

Replacing F with N'

P = \frac{N'}{A}

P = \frac{\frac{mgcos\theta}{2}}{A}

Our values are given as,

m = 58kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

\theta = 35\°

A = 0.3m^2

Replacing we have that

P = \frac{\frac{(58)(9.8)cos(35)}{2}}{0.3}

P = 776.01Pa

Therefore the pressure exerted by each ski on the snow is 776.01Pa

Objects with masses of 120 kg and a 420 kg are separated by 0.380 m. (a) Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objec
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

F_{net} = 6.879\times 10^{- 7}\ N

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of first object, m = 120 kg

Mass of second object, m' = 420 kg

Mass of the third object, M = 69.0 kg

Distance between the m and m', d = 0.380 m

Now,

To calculate the gravitational force on the object of mass, M placed mid-way due to mass, m:

F = \frac{GMm}{\frac({d}{2}^{2})}

F = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 120\times 0.69}{\frac({0.380}{2}^{2})} = 1.529\times 10^{- 7}\ N

To calculate the gravitational force on the object of mass, M placed mid-way due to mass, m':

F = \frac{GMm}{\frac({d}{2}^{2})}

F' = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 420\times 0.69}{\frac({0.380}{2}^{2})} = 5.35\times 10^{- 7}\ N

To calculate the gravitational force on the object of mass, M placed mid-way due to mass, m and m':

F_{net} = F + F'

F_{net} = 1.529\times 10^{- 7} + 5.35\times 10^{- 7} = 6.879\times 10^{- 7}\ N
