First we have to find out the gravity on that planet. We use Newton second equation of motion. It is given as,

s = ut +(gt^2)/2

Distance s = 25m

Time t = 5 s

Velocity u = 0

By putting these values,

25 = 1/2.g.(5)²

g = 2

So the gravity on that planet is 2. Lets find out the weight of the astronaut.

Mass of the astronaut on earth m = 80 kg

Weight of astronaut on earth W = mg = (80)(9.8) = 784 N

Weight of astronaut on earth like planet = (80)(2) = 160 N

x = 160N

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Pressure on the bottom

= hdg

= 2.5 x 820 x 9.8

= 20090 N / m²

b )

force = area x pressure

= 20090 x 10 x 6 N

= 1205400 N

c )

Force on 10m x 2.5 m face

center of gravity of the tank will lie at height 2 .5 / 2 = 1.25 m

Pressure = hdg

= 1.25 x 820 x 9.8

= 10045 N/m²

force = pressure x area

= 10045  x 10 x 2.5

= 251125 N .

How do you know the force for an acceleration of zero?
Natali5045456 [20]
F=ma

So a=F/m

if acceleration is zero, resultant force is also zero.

The spring of a toy car stores 10 J of potential energy. Only 8 J of energy changes to kinetic energy as the car moves. What hap
son4ous [18]

Answer:

It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.

Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.

Therefore:

- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J

- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.

In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.
