a = 7.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let Fnet = net force = ma

m = mass of the skydiver

a = acceleration caused by Fnet

W = weight = mg

f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance

Fnet = W - f(air)

= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) - (200 N)

= 780 N

Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is

a = Fnet/m

= (780 N)/(100 kg)

= 7.8 m/s^2

Using a scale diagram, calculate the resultant force acting on a sailing boat when an easterly wind provides 2, point, 50, k, N,
EastWind [94]

Answer:

F = 3.6 kN, direction is 9.6º to the North - East

Explanation:

The force is a vector, so one method to find the solution is to work with the components of the vector as scalars and then construct the resulting vector.

Let's use trigonometry to find the component of the forces, let's use a reference frame where the x-axis coincides with the East and the y-axis coincides with the North.

Wind

X axis

          F₁ = 2.50 kN

Tide

         cos 30 = F₂ₓ / F₂

         sin 30 = F_{2y} / F₂

          F₂ₓ = F₂ cos 30

         F_{2y} = F₂ sin 30

         F₂ₓ = 1.20cos 30 = 1.039 kN

         F_{2y} = 1.20 sin 30 = 0.600 kN

the resultant force is

X axis

        Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ

        Fₓ = 2.50 +1.039

        Fₓ = 3,539 kN

        F_y = F_{2y}

        F_y = 0.600

to find the vector we use the Pythagorean theorem

         F = \sqrt{F_x^2 +F_y^2}

         F = \sqrt{ 3.539^2 + 0.600^2 }

         F = 3,589 kN

the address is

         tan θ = F_y / Fₓ

         θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{F_y}{F_x}

         θ = tan⁻¹  \frac{0.6}{3.539}0.6 / 3.539

         θ = 9.6º

the resultant force to two significant figures is

         F = 3.6 kN

the direction is 9.6º to the North - East

If you stood on a planet with four times the mass of Earth, and twice Earth's radius, how much would you weigh?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1/4 times your earth's weight

Explanation:

assuming the Mass of earth = M

Radius of earth = R

∴ the mass of the planet= 4M

the radius of the planet = 4R

gravitational force of earth is given as = \frac{GM}{R^{2} }

where G is the gravitational constant

Gravitational force of the planet = \frac{G4M}{(4R)^{2} }

                                                       =\frac{G4M}{16R^{2} }

                                                       =\frac{GM}{4R^{2} }

recall, gravitational force of earth is given as = \frac{GM}{R^{2} }

∴Gravitational force of planet = 1/4 times the gravitational force of the earth

you would weigh 1/4 times your earth's weight

Imagine that asteroid A that has an escape velocity of 50 m/s. If asteroid B has twice the mass and twice the radius, it would h
padilas [110]

Answer:

The same as the escape velocity of asteorid A (50m/s)

Explanation:

The escape velocity is described as follows:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the asteroid and R is the radius

and since the scape velocity is 50m/s:

50m/s=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Now, if the astroid B has twice mass and twice the radius, we have that tha mass is: 2M

and the radius is: 2R

inserting these values into the formula for escape velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2G(2M)}{2R} } =\sqrt{\frac{4GM}{2R} } =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

and we have found that 50m/s=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}, so the two asteroids have the same escape velocity.

We found that the expression for escape velocity remains the same as for asteroid A, this because both quantities (radius and mass) doubled, so it does not affect the equation.

The answer is

Asteroid B would have an escape velocity the same as the escape velocity of asteroid A

A sphere of plastic of radius = .100 m is completely immersed in water. The density of the plastic is 600 kg/m3. Since the plast
tekilochka [14]

To solve this problem we need to use the proportional relationships between density, mass and volume, together with Newton's second law.

The force can be described as

F = ma \rightarrow mg

Where,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

At the same time the Density can be defined as

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = \rho V

Where,

m = mass

V = Volume

Replacing the value of the mass at the equation of Force we have,

F = \rho V g

Since the difference between the two forces gives us the total Force then we have to

F_T = F_w - F_p

Where

F_w = Force of the water

F_p= Force of plastic

Therefore with the values for this force we have,

F_T = \rho_w Vg - \rho_p Vg

F_T = Vg(\rho_w - \rho_p)

F_T = (\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3) g(\rho_w - \rho_p)

F_T = (\frac{4}{3} \pi (0.1)^3) (9.8)(1000 - 600)

F_T = 16.412 N

Therefore the tension in the thread is 16.412N
