The light-year is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equivalent to about 9.46 trillion kilometres (9.46×1012 km) or 5.88 trillion miles (5.88×1012 mi).
Astronomical units: 63241 au; 0.3066 pc
Metric (SI) units: 9.4607×1015 m; 9.46075 Pm
Imperial & US units: 5.8786×1012 mi

Spiderman, whose mass is 70.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.2-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree l
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

U = -3978.8 J

Explanation:

The work of the gravitational force U just depends of the heigth and is calculated as:

U = -mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h the alture.

for calculate the alture we will use the following equation:

h = L-Lcos(θ)

Where L is the large of the rope and θ is the angle.

Replacing data:

h = 12.2-12.2cos(58.4)

h = 5.8 m

Finally U is equal to:

U = -70(9.8)(5.8)

U = -3,978.8 J

A basketball is held over head at a height of 2.4 m. The ball is lobbed to a teammate at 8 m/s at an angle of 40'. If the ball i
cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

since both the teammates are of the same height, their height won't matter. Because now the basketball won't cover any vertical distance.

We have to calculate its range the horizontal distance covered by it when tossed from one teammate to the other.

range can be calculated by the formula :-

\boxed{\mathfrak{range =  \frac{  u  {}^{2}   \sin 2\theta }{g} }}

u is the velocity during its take off and \theta is the angle at which its thrown

Given that

  • u = 8m/ s
  • \theta = 40°

calculating range using the above formula

= \frac{ {8}^{2} \sin2(40)  }{10}

=  \frac{64 \times  \sin(80) }{10}

value of sin 80 = 0. 985

=  \frac{64 \times 0.985}{10}

=  \frac{63.027}{10}

= 6.3027

Hence,

\mathfrak { \blue{the \: teammate \: is \:  \red{\underline{6.3027 \: meters} }\: away } }

Earth's gravitational pull just got threetimes stronger! what happens to your weight/
OLga [1]
Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.

Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.

The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.

If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.

How does The centripetal fotce change if the car has less Mass?​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The centripetal force acting on the car is proportional to the mass of the car.

Explanation:

Let,

The mass of the car be 'm'

The velocity of the car moving in the curved path be 'v'

The radius of the curved path be 'r'

According to physics, a body moving ion circular path experience a force directed along the radius of the path. This force is called centripetal force.

The formula for centripetal force is,

                                   <em>F = mv²/r</em>

Where,

                                      a = v²/r

So, if the mass of the car changes, the centripetal force also changes proportionally according to the above equation.
