Answer:
a. 150 N
Explanation:
Gravitational Force: This is the force that act on a body under gravity.
The gravitational force always attract every object on or near the earth's surface. The earth therefore, exerts an attractive force on every object on or near it.
The S.I unit of gravitational force is Newton(N).
Mathematically, gravitational force of attraction is expressed as
(i) F = GmM/r² ........................ Equation 1 ( when it involves two object of different masses on the earth)
(ii) F = mg ............................... Equation 2 ( when it involves one mass and the gravitational field).
Given: m = 17 kg, g = 8.8 m/s²
Substituting into equation 2,
F = 17(8.8)
F = 149.6 N
F ≈ 150 N.
Thus the gravitational force = 150 N
The correct option is a. 150 N
Answer:
A. a total solar eclipse
Explanation:
During a solar eclipse,the moon comes between the sun and Earth, casting its shadow over the Earth
No. What most people call 'terminal velocity' is the speed of the falling
object when the downward force of gravity is equal to the upward force
of air resistance. At that speed, the vertical forces on the object are
balanced, so it stops accelerating, and falls at a constant speed.
If there were no atmosphere, there would be no upward force due to
air resistance. The falling object would continue to accelerate all the
way down until it went 'splat'.
This is exactly the situation for meteoroids or asteroids falling onto the Moon.
Is there a multiple choice?
Answer:
Explanation:
given,
angle at which rock is thrown = 60°
rock lands at distance,d = 25 m
initial speed of rock, = ?
In horizontal direction
distance = speed x time
d = v₀ cos 60° t
25 = v₀ cos 60° t............(1)
now,
in vertical direction
displacement in vertical direction is zero
using equation of motion
putting the value of t in equation (1)
v
Hence, the initial speed of the rock is equal to 16.82 m/s
