The earth exerts a force of 500 newtons on an object what is the mass of the object in kg

Physics
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
5 0

 Weight (that's what the 500 N is) = (mass) x (gravity) .

On Earth, gravity = about 9.8 m/s² , so

                                 500 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²) .

Divide each side by 9.8 m/s²: 

                                 Mass = (500 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                          =    51 kg  (rounded) .

The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(4) weight

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle in orbit is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the shuttle

v is the tangential speed of the shuttle

r is the radius of its circular orbit

When the shuttle orbits the Earth, the centripetal force that keeps the shuttle in circular motion is given by the gravitational attraction between the shuttle and the Earth, which corresponds to the weight of the shuttle, and it is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

And this force, therefore, corresponds to the centripetal force.

You could use an elevator or the stairs to lift a box to tenth floor.which has greater power?
erastova [34]

Stairs don't have any power at all.  All the energy used to climb them
has to come from your muscles.

An elevator gets its power from the electric motors that lift it.  All YOU
have to do is stand there and look around.

All of this is a big part of the reason why elevators have become so
popular, and why no buildings with more than a few floors were built
before elevators were invented.

A string is tied between two posts separated by 2.4 m. When the string is driven by an oscillator at frequency 567 Hz, 5 points
Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       Length (l) = 2.4 m

       Frequency (f) = 567 Hz

Formula to calculate the speed of a transverse wave is as follows.

                  f = \frac{5}{2l} \times v

Putting the gicven values into the above formula as follows.

                  f = \frac{5}{2l} \times v

                 567 Hz = \frac{5}{2 \times 2.4 m} \times v

                      v = 544.32 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed (in m/s) of a transverse wave on this string is 544.32 m/s.

The conductors that carry the current to electrical devices and ? equipment are the heart of all electrical systems. There are a
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

utilization / effects

Explanation:

Utilization equipment are those equipment that makes use of electric energy for the purpose of chemical, electronic, lighting, heating, electro-mechanical or other alike purposes. Hence utilization best suits the first question mark in the question. Secondly, there are associated effects when current flows through a conductor, not responses.
