The force by which earth attracts anobject is know as weight of that particular object.

so,

=》weight ( F ) = mass ( M ) × acceleration ( A )

=》F = 85 × 9.8

( because acceleration due to gravity = 9.8, but sometimes it is taken as approx 10 )

=》F = 833 Newton.

note : if you take acceleration due to gravity as 10 then the weight of the person = 85 × 10 = 850 N )

i hope it helped.....

A concrete block is hung from an ideal spring that has a force constant of 100 N/m . The spring stretches 0.129 m .A- What is th

Answer:

1.31498 kg

0.72050 s

Explanation:

m = Mass of block

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

k = Spring constant = 100 N/M

x = Displacement = 0.129 m

The force balance is

$mg=kx\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{kx}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{100\times 0.129}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow m=1.31498\ kg$

The mass of the block is 1.31498 kg

Time period is given by

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{1.31498}{100}}\\\Rightarrow T=0.72050\ s$

The period of oscillations is 0.72050 s

The time period does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity. It varies with the mass and the spring constant.

Hence, the time period would be the same

What is the velocity of an object that has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg? Round to the nearest hundredth.

julia-pushkina [17]

<h2>Answer: 34.78 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum $p$ is given by the following equation:

$p=m.V$ (1)

Where:

$m$ is the mass of the object

$V$ is the velocity of the object

Finding the velocity from (1):

$V=\frac{p}{m}$ (2)

$V=\frac{4000kg.m/s}{115kg}$

<u>Finally:</u>

$V=34.78m/s$ >>>This is the velocity of the object
