Certainly gravity is a force that exists between the Earth and the objects that are near it. As you stand upon the Earth, you experience this force.
Speed=distance/time, rearranging gives speed*time=distance therefore the first section of the journey yielded a total distance of 40km, the second journey was stated to be 20km which was completed in (20/30)*60=40minutes. Therefore the total journey was 60km which was completed in 1hr40 minutes so the average speed was (60/1.66..)=36km/h.
That depends on the direction of the velocity (which the question doesn't say).
Answer: the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
Explanation:
Given that;
Mass M1 = 7.0 kg
r = 3.0/2 m = 1.5 m
Mass M2 = 21 kg
we know that G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²
work done by an external agent W = -2GM2M1 / r
so we substitute
W = (-2 × 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 21 × 7) / 1.5
W = -1.96098 × 10⁻⁸ / 1.5
W = -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
Therefore the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
