Explanation:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a specific or particular direction.

It is also the difference in the amount of energy expended in using an effort.

Work done is given as;

Work done = F x d CosФ

F is the force applied

d is the displacement

Ф is the angle

The unit of work done is in Joules.

The radius of Earth is about 6450 km. A 7070 N spacecraft travels away from Earth. What is the weight of the spacecraft at a hei

Triss [41]

Answer:

(a) 1767.43 N

(b) 182.45 N

Explanation:

Radius of earth, R = 6450 km

Weight of person, W = 7070 N

mass of person, m = W / g = 7070 / 9.8 = 721.4 kg

(a) h = 6450 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

$g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2$

$g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+6450} \right )^2$

g' = g / 4 = 9.8 / 4 = 2.45 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g' = 721.4 x 2.45

W' = 1767.43 N

(b) h = 33700 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

$g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2$

$g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+33700} \right )^2$

g' = g x 0.0258 = 9.8 x 0.0258 = 0.253 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g'

W' = 721.4 x 0.253

W' = 182.45 N

Why does changing the shape of an object have no effect on the density?

iren [92.7K]

Because the object is still made of the same material
Density is not affected by the weight and shape of an object its affected by how concentrated the atoms are in a given volume

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.330. At what minimum rate wo

Helga [31]

Answer: $3.23 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

$\mu_s =0.330$

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force $F_s$

$F_s=ma_{min}$

$\mu_sN=ma_{min}$

$\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}$

$a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2$
