Answer:

a. 150 N

Explanation:

Gravitational Force: This is the force that act on a body under gravity.

The gravitational force always attract every object on or near the earth's surface. The earth therefore, exerts an attractive force on every object on or near it.

The S.I unit of gravitational force is Newton(N).

Mathematically, gravitational force of attraction is expressed as

(i) F = GmM/r² ........................ Equation 1 ( when it involves two object of different masses on the earth)

(ii) F = mg ............................... Equation 2 ( when it involves one mass and the gravitational field).

Given: m = 17 kg, g = 8.8 m/s²

Substituting into equation 2,

F = 17(8.8)

F = 149.6 N

F ≈ 150 N.

Thus the gravitational force = 150 N

The correct option is a. 150 N

A 2.0-kg object is lifted vertically through 3.00 m by a 150-N force. How much work is done on the object by gravity during this
noname [10]

Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by:

W=Fdcos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement.

In this problem, we are asked to find the work done by gravity, so we must calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity first, which is equal to the weight of the object:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

The displacement of the object is d = 3.00 m, while \theta=180^{\circ}, because the displacement is upward, while the force of gravity is downward; therefore, the work done by gravity is

W=Fdcos \theta=(19.6 N)(3.00 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-58.8 J

And the work done is negative, because it is done against the motion of the object.

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
Tatiana [17]
You can reason it out like this:

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s

                                                                           =  3,600 meters .
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph ! 

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance Da and during a time t, and object B f
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Da=(1/4)Db

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

When s = Da, t = t

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{2}at^2

When s = Db, t = 2t

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (2t)^2\\\Rightarrow Db=\frac{1}{2}a4t^2

Dividing the two equations

\frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at^2}{\frac{1}{2}a4t^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{4}Db

Hence, Da=(1/4)Db
