Answer:

The gravity is roughly the same. The inverse square law applies to gravity and that means that being 60 miles above Earth is about the same as being on Earth. The thing is, they are going really fast in an orbit and thus falling around the Earth. The weightlessness comes from a sort of cancellation of gravity pulling them down and their going perpendicular to that force. The forces are cancelling and making them relatively “weightless”. It’s not really weightlessness but just an equilibrium reached between the two accelerations of gravity and their motion against the pull of the Earth.

A car travelling at 15 m/s comes to rest in a distance of 14 m when the brakes are applied.

stira [4]

Answer:

-8.04 m/s2

Explanation:

To find the answer to this, you have to use the 4th kinematic equation:

$v^{2} = v^{2}_{0} + 2ax$

You plug into the equation to get:

$0 = 15^{2} + 2a(14)$

solve for a to get

-8.04 m/s2

How much (in newtons) does a 10.0Kg bag of grass seed weigh

dimulka [17.4K]

Weight is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration due to gravity (which is 9.8 $m/s^{2}$ on earth)

So W=mg
W=10.0 × 9.8 = 98

So the weight is 98N.

Do you have a lawn mower engine running for 20 minutes does 4,560, 000 J of work. What is the power output of the engine?

alekssr [168]

Answer:

P = 3800 W

Explanation:

Power is equal to energy divide by time P = E/t

plug in 4560000 J for energy

convert 20 minutes to seconds

20 * 60 = 1200 seconds

plug in 1200 seconds for time

P = 4560000/1200

P = 3800 W
