What upward gravitational force does a 5600kg elephant exert on the earth?

Physics

Anastaziya [24]2 years ago

Force is determined by multiplying mass and gravity (F= mg). To determine the answer, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied with the gravity (9.8 m/s²). The answer is 5800 N. This is the upward gravitational force that the elephant exerts on the earth.

<u>Answer</u>

54,880 N


<u>Explanation</u>

The Gravitational force is the force exited by an object towards the center of the earth. It is called the weight of an object. The Newton's 2nd law of motion says that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. So, if the elephant exerts a force on the earth, the earth exerts an equal force to the elephant.

Weight = mass × gravity

          = 5600 × 9.8

            = 54,880 N

A penny is placed on a rotating turntable. Where on the turntable does the penny require the largest centripetal force to remain
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

m = mass of the penny

r = distance of the penny from the center of the turntable or axis of rotation

w = angular speed of rotation of turntable

F = centripetal force experienced by the penny

centripetal force "F" experienced by the penny of "m" at distance "r" from axis of rotation is given as

F = m r w²

in the above equation , mass of penny "m"  and angular speed "w" of the turntable is same at all places. hence the centripetal force directly depends on the radius .

hence greater the distance from center , greater will be the centripetal force to remain in place.  

So at the edge of the turntable , the penny experiences largest centripetal force to remain in place.

the flow energy of 124 L/min of a fluid passing a boundary to a system is 108.5 kJ/min. Determine the pressure at this point
Andreyy89

Answer:

The pressure at this point is 0.875 mPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Flow energy = 124 L/min

Boundary to system P= 108.5 kJ/min

P=1.81\ kW

We need to calculate the pressure at this point

Using formula of pressure

P=F\times v

P=A_{1}P_{1}\times v_{1}

Here, A_{1}v_{1}=Q_{1}

Where, v = velocity

Put the value into the formula

1.81 =P_{1}\times0.124\times\dfrac{1}{60}

P_{1}=\dfrac{1.81\times60}{0.124}

P_{1}=875.80\ kPa

P_{1}=0.875\ mPa

Hence, The pressure at this point is 0.875 mPa

As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of Earth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC

Explanation:

The magnitude of Electric potential is given as;

V = kq/r

where;

V is the electric potential in volts

k is coulomb's constant

r is the radius of the sphere or distance moved by the charge

given;  V = -1.1 V, k = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C², r = 10m

Substituting this values in the above equation, we estimate the amount of charge space shuttle collects.

q = (V*r)/k

q = (-1.1 *10)/(8.99 x 10⁹ )

q = -1.224 X 10⁻⁹ C

q = -1.224nC

Therefore, the amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC
