Would the forces acting on the sky diver be balanced or unbalanced? Explain your answer.

Gravity: The force due to gravity is F=mg where g=9.80 m/s². A. Find the force due to gravity on a 41.63-kg object. B. The force

olga_2 [115]

A. F=mg
= 41.63kg x 9.8m/s²
= 407.974
= 408N (3 significant figure)
B. F=mg
632N= y x 9.8m/s²
y= 632 ÷ 9.8
y = 64.48
y= 64.5kg (3 significant figure)

Joshua was driving to a friend’s house to study. During his trip, he started on pavement. At one point, he hit an ice patch on t

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.

Explanation:

Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.

$F_{f} = -\mu N$

Since we're talking about the same car, the value of $N$ will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.

After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, $M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, $T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m$

Distance between moon and the earth, $r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m$

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

So, the mass of the earth is $6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Two people travel from Columbus to Cleveland, one by car at an average velocity of 90km/h, and one by plane at an average veloci

Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , their displacement may be equal .

Suppose the displacement is AB where A is starting point and B is end point .

The car is covering the distance AB by going from A to B on straight line . On the other hand plane goes from A to C , then from C to D and then from D to B . In this way plane reaches B from A on a different path which is longer than path of the car . In the second case also displacement of plane is AB . In the second case distance covered is longer but displacement is same that is AB .
