A 60 kg person sits in a chair. How much does the earth pull on the person? (Acceleration due to gravity is -10m/s2) F = mxa → F

= (60kg) x (-10m/s2) → F= -600N or 600N in the downward direction

Answer:

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Explanations

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Mas of the person = 60kg

Acceleration due to gravity = -10m/s²

To get the earths pull on the person, we will use the Newton second law of motion;

Force = mass * acceleration;

Force = 60 * -10

Force- -600N

<em>Hence the earth gravitational pull on the person is 600N(downwards). It is downwards due to the negative sign.</em>

inna [77]

Answer:

a)  a = 8m/s^2

b) a = 9.8m/s^2

c) a = 200m/s^2

d) a = 9.8m/s^2

Explanation:

Using the laws of newton:

F = ma

where F is the force, m the mass and a the aceleration

a) Solving for the aceleration:

a = F/m

so, replacing the force and the mass of Blanche, we get:

a = 800N/100kg

a = 8m/s^2

b) By the laws of newton, the sumatory of vertical force for Blanche is equal to:

mg = ma

Where g is the gravity

Then, solving for a:

a = g

a = 9.8m/s^2

c) At the same way, solving for the aceleration:

a = F/m

so, replacing the values of the force and the mass of the shot, we get:

a = 800N/4kg

a = 200m/s^2

d) Then, sumatory of vertical force for the shot is equal to:

mg = ma

where g is the gravity

solving for a:

a = g

a = 9.8m/s^2
