Hello!

Recall the equation for gravitational force:
F_g = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Fg = Force of gravity (N)
G = Gravitational constant

m1, m2 = masses of objects (kg)
r = distance between the objects' center of masses (m)

There is a DIRECT relationship between mass and gravitational force.

We are given:
F_g = 100N

If we were to double one mass and triple another, according to the equation:
F'_g = \frac{G(2m_1)(3m_2)}{r^2} = 6(\frac{G(m_1)(m_2)}{r^2}) = 6F_g

Thus:
6 * F_g = 6 * 100 = \boxed{600N}

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Seat belts are among the most common and effective safety devices ever invented. Since their introduction, seat belts have saved countless lives and prevented many injuries. But making it mandatory to wear seat belts has been a slow process, as they were required by law in each state at a different time.

Which explanation describes the forces involved for a person to walk down the sidewalk?
Svet_ta [14]

The person walking down the sidewalk follows the newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

  • A person is able to walk down the sidewalk by using the reaction forces from the ground.
  • In simple term, feet pushes the ground and the reaction forces makes the feet able to walk.
  • Another important force included in the walking mechanism is friction. With out friction one cannot walk down the sidewalks.
  • Hence the forces involved in the walking of a person down the sidewalk are:
  1. Friction force
  2. Action and reaction force between ground and person's feet.

What is the acceleration of a 0.90g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing?
Scilla [17]
The acceleration of a 0.90 g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing is the sum of the acceleration of the movement of the finger and the acceleration of gravity. In this case, this is different when the finger goes down, since the acceleration now becomes the difference between the two.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]
You would use h=1/2*g*t^2
Therefore,
g= 9.81
h= 1/2*9.81*6^2
h= 176.58m
