What is the Force of Gravity of a 40 kg object on Earth?

1 answer:

7 0

Gravity on Earth pulls objects to the center of the Earth about 9.8 meters per second per second. The child's mass on the moon or at a space station is 40 kg. The child's weight at these places changes because gravity is different at these locations.

What would be the answer for this and how?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

$k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\$

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

$k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k = 250\ N/m\\$

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

$k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\$

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

$\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\$

Hence, the correct option is:

The three forces acting on a hot-air balloon that is moving vertically are its weight, the force due to air resistance and the u

irinina [24]

Explanation :

The forces acting on hot- air balloon are:

Weight, (W)

Force due to air resistance, (F)

Upthrust force, (U)

Its weight W is acting in downward direction. The upthrust force U acts in upward direction. When the balloon is moving upward, the air resistance is in downward and vice versa.

In this case, the hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed.

so, $a=0$

and $F=ma=0$

so, $W = F + U$ ....................(1)

when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so

$(W-R) + F = U$ ..........(2)

solving equation (1) and (2)

$(W-R)+F=W-F$

$R=2F$

2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.

12. your friend with great excitement tells you about his newest idea to solve the energy crisis: he wants to use an electromoto

mixas84 [53]

I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit.

The total amount of energy doesn't change. Energy is never created,
and it never disappears. If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere.

You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.

Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show. They are all
fakes. They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.
