Answer: 250n

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2

There are two factors at play here:

1) The mass of the planet 'M'

2) The radius 'r'

We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.

You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:

Earth. F =  M/r^2 = 1/1

New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2

So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.

The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!

If the acceleration of an object is zero at some instant in time, what can be said about its velocity at that time? 1. It is neg
Mkey [24]

3. It is not changing at that time

Explanation:

If the acceleration of a body is zero at some instant in time, it implies that the velocity is not changing at that point in time. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.

✓Acceleration and velocity shares a very close relationship.

✓ For a body to accelerate, the velocity must change. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time.

✓If at any point, a body moves with constant velocity i.e the velocity does not change with time, the acceleration becomes zero.

✓ For acceleration to occur, a body must change velocity.

A 2.0-kg mass is oscillating about the origin at 24 rad/s. The amplitude of the oscillations is 0.040 m. At what position is the
Darya [45]

Answer:

0.0327 m

Explanation:

m = 2 kg

ω = 24 rad/s

A = 0.040 m

Let at position y, the potential energy is twice the kinetic energy.

The potential energy is given by

U = 1/2 m x ω² x y²

The kinetic energy is given by

K = 1/2 m x ω² x (A² - y²)

Equate both the energies as according to the question

1/2 m x ω² x y² = 2 x 1/2 m x ω² x (A² - y²)

y² = 2 A² - 2 y²

3y² = 2A²

y² = 2/3 A²

y = 0.82 A = 0.82 x 0.040 = 0.0327 m

How are objects in space able to “fall” into orbit?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Explanation:

Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pullson the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.
