Because its just enough to where its not out f the gravitational pull and not close enough to be pulled back to earth. Hope it helps<span />

A person wants to lose weight by "pumping iron". The person lifts an 80 kg weight 1 meter. How many times must this weight be li
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

37357 sec  

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Lifting weight 80 kg

1 cal = 4184 J

from information given in question we have

one lb fat consist of 3500 calories = 3500 x 4184 J

= 14.644 x 10^6 J  

Energy burns in 1 lift = m g h

                                  = 80 x 9.8 x 1 = 784 J

lifts required = \frac{(14.644 x 10^6)}{784}

                      = 18679

from the question,

1 lift in 2 sec.

so, total time = 18679 x 2 = 37357 sec  

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

AnnZ [28]
Weight = mass*gravity. Hence mass = 980/9.8 = 100kg. Gravity of planet 2 = weight/mass = 3.6 m/s^2

I attached the missing picture.
We can figure this one out using the law of conservation of energy.
At point A the car would have potential energy and kinetic energy.
A: mgh_1+\frac{mv_1^2}{2}
Then, while the car is traveling down the track it loses some of its initial energy due to friction:
W_f=F_f\cdot L
So, we know that the car is approaching the point B with the following amount of energy:
mgh_1+\frac{mv_1^2}{2}- F_fL
The law of conservation of energy tells us that this energy must the same as the energy at point B. 
The energy at point B is the sum of car's kinetic and potential energy:
B: mgh_2+\frac{mv_2}{2}
As said before this energy must be the same as the energy of a car approaching the loop:
mgh_2+\frac{mv_2}{2}=mgh_1+\frac{mv_1^2}{2}- F_fL
Now we solve the equation for v_1:
v_1^2=2g(h_2-h_1)+v_2^2+\frac{2F_fL}{m}\\&#10;v_1^2=39.23\\&#10;v_1=\sqrt{39.23}=6.26\frac{m}{s}

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Explanation:

I dont know if this will help but A two force member is a body that has forces (and only forces, no moments) acting on it in only two locations. In order to have a two force member in static equilibrium, the net force at each location must be equal, opposite, and collinear.
