Answer:
3.42N
Explanation:
*not too sure bc i left my physics notes at school so it might not be 100% accurate :p*
Use the equation: F = (GMm)/(r^2)
F = force of gravity
G = gravitational constant (6.7x10^-11)
M = mass1 (2.5x10^30kg)
m = mass2 (1kg)
r = radius (7000m)
Plug it in: F = ((6.7x10^-11)(2.5x10^30)(1)) / (7000^2)
F = (1.675x10^20) / (4.9x10^7)
F = 3.4183673x10^12
F = 3.42N
The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.
All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.
If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
Answer:
1.67 m/s
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved.
Initial momentum = final momentum
(30 kg) (10 m/s) + (35 kg) (-10 m/s) = (30 kg) v + (35 kg) (0 m/s)
300 - 350 = 30v
v = -5/3 m/s
Linus will move at 1.67 m/s in the direction opposite that he started.
