Answer:

3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to solve this problem:

g_P=G\frac{m}{r^2}., where g_P is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface, G is gravitational constant 6.67\cdot 10^{-11}, m is the mass of the planet, and r is the radius of the planet.

Since acceleration due to gravity is given as m/s^2, our radius should be meters. Therefore, convert 2400 kilometers to meters:

2400\:\mathrm{km}=2,400,000\:\mathrm{m}.

Now plugging in our values, we get:

3.6=6.67\cdot10^{-11}\frac{m}{(2,400,000)^2},

Solving for m:

m=\frac{2,400,000^2\cdot3.6}{6.67\cdot 10^{-11}},\\m=\fbox{$3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}$}.

A black widow spider hangs motionless from a web that extends vertically from the ceiling above. If the spider has a mass of 1.2
leva [86]

Answer:

Tension = 0.012 N

Explanation:

If the black widow spider is hanging vertically motionless from the ceiling above. Then, the weight of the spider must be balancing the tension in the spider web. Therefore,

Tension = Weight

Tension = mg

where,

m = mass of spider = 1.27 g = 0.00127 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Tension = (0.00127 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>Tension = 0.012 N</u>
