Answer:
Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).
Answer:
The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity u= 128 ft/sec
Equation of height
....(I)
(a). We need to calculate the maximum height
Firstly we need to calculate the time

From equation (I)




Now, for maximum height
Put the value of t in equation (I)


(b). The number of seconds it takes the object to hit the ground.
We know that, when the object reaches ground the height becomes zero




Hence, The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.
There's not enough information to find an answer.
I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude. This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.
Answer: 117.6N
Explanation:
By the second Newton's law, we know that:
F = m*a
F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration
We know that in the surface of the Earth, the gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8m/s^2.
Then we just can input that acceleration in the above equation, and also replace m by 12kg, and find that the force due the gravity is:
F = 12kg*9.8m/s^2 = 117.6N
(2^(1-γ)-1)/(1-γ) where γ is the heat capacity ratio, Cp/Cv. See attached image for the working.
