Answer:

The force becomes 16 times what it is now.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is

F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

When you do what you have described, you are setting a stage that not even the USS Enterprise (Star Trek) can get out of. The increase is huge.

If you double m1 and m2 and don't do anything to r, you've already increased the force by 4 times. (2m1 * 2m2 = 4 * m1 * m2)

But you are not finished. If you 1/2 the distance, you are again increasing the Force by 4 times. 1 / (2r) ^2 = 1/ 4* r^2

Because this is in the denominator, the 1/4 is going to flip to the numerator.

So the total increase is going to be 4 * (4 * m1 * m2) = 16 * m1 * m2.

Think about what that means. If you were out golfing, your drives would be roughly 1/16 times as far as they are now. Also you would be lugging around 16 times your weight around the golf course. My feeling is that you would never finish 5 holes at that rate.

A 51-kg woman runs up a vertical flight of stairs in 5.0 s. Her net upward displacement is 5.0 m. Approximately, what average po
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The average power the woman exerts is 0.5 kW

Explanation:

We note that power, P = The rate at which work is done = Work/Time

Work = Energy

The total work done is the potential energy gained which is the energy due to vertical displacement

Given that the vertical displacement = 5.0 m, we have

Total work done = Potential energy gained = Mass, m × Acceleration due to gravity, g × Vertical height, h

m = 51 kg

g = Constant = 9.81 m/s²

h = 5.0 m

Also, time, t = 5.0 s

Total work done = 51 kg × 9.81 m/s²× 5 m = 2501.55 kg·m²/s² = 2501.55 J

P = 2501.55 J/(5 s) = 500.31 J/s = 500.31 W ≈ 500 W = 0.5 kW.
