Answer:

W = 113.98 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of Potatoine $R=6.4\times 10^6\ m$

Mass of Potatoine, $M=2\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Mass of Marvin, m = 35 kg

We need to find his weight on Potatoine. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity, $g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

So,

$W=\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}\\\\W=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 35\times 2\times 10^{24}}{(6.4\times 10^6)^2}\\\\W=113.98\ N$

So, his weight on Potatoine is 113.98 N.

The answer given by E2020 is

"The padding around the goal post increases the time of the collision between the player and the post, which decreases the force exerted to bring the player to a stop"

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

$V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }$

Where

V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

R - Radius of the second object

G - Gravitational constant

h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

$1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R$

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

In which of the following elevator situations would the acceleration be positive. Select TWO answers

kap26 [50]

Both options 5 and 6

Explanation:

Let us consider option 5,

In option 5 body is moving up with initial velocity lower than that of final velocity which gets accelerated. Therefore the acceleration is positive in this case.

Let us consider option 6,

In option 6 body is moving down with initial velocity lower than that of final velocity which gets accelerated. Therefore the acceleration is positive in this case.
