Answer: 9938.8 km
Explanation:
1 pound-force = 4.48 N
30.0 pounds-force = 134.4 N
The force of gravitation between Earth and object on the surface of is given by:
Where M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the object, R (6371 km) is the radius of the Earth.
At height, h above the surface of the Earth, the weight of the object:
we need to find "h"
taking the ratio of two:
Hence, Pete would weigh 30 pounds at 9938.8 km above the surface of the Earth.
Answer:
7.9
Explanation:
Take the fact that mass is inversely proportional to accelertation:
m ∝ a
Therefore m = a, but because we are finding the change in acceleration, we would set our problem up to look more like this:
Using algebra, we can rearrange our equation to find the final acceleration, :
Before plugging everything in, since you are being asked to find acceleration, you will want to convert 0.85g to m/s^2. To do this, multiply by g, which is equal to 9.8 m/s^2:
0.85g * 9.8 = 8.33
Plug everything in:
7.9 =
(1590kg the initial weight plus the weight of the added passenger)
