An astronaut weighs 850 N on the Earth’s surface. When the astronaut lands on Planet X, she weighs 190 N. To the nearest tenth of a m/s2, what is the acceleration of gravity on Planet X? (hint: first find her mass!)
An elevator car loaded with two passengers has a mass of 1200 kg. What tension must be applied by the elevator cable to give the car an acceleration of 1 m/s2 upward? Round your answer to the nearest newton.
An 800 kg cannon sits at rest, loaded with a 5 kg cannonball. When the cannon is fired horizontally, the exploding gunpowder accelerates the cannonball at an average acceleration of 4800 m/s2 through the barrel, with the cannonball finally flying out of the barrel at a speed of 120 m/s toward the East. To the nearest newton, the net force that acts on the cannon while firing has a magnitude of ____________N and points toward the__________________

001 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points On planet X, an object weighs 15.8 N. On planet B where the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration is 1.14 g (where g 9.8 m/s is the gravitational acceleration on Earth), the object weighs 30.9 N The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 What is the mass of the object be on Earth? Answer in units of kg. 002 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points What is the free-fall acceleration on planet X?...
An object of mass 0.50 kg weighs 2.0 N when it is 1.0 × 106 m above the surface of Planet X. The radius of the planet is 4.0 × 106 m. What free-fall acceleration will the 0.50-kg object experience when at the surface of Planet X? A) 2.0 m/s2 B) 6.3 m/s2 C) 4.0 m/s2 D) 4.8 m/s2
Samantha the astronaut visits planet X. She plans a low-tech experiment to do that will demonstrate basic physics concepts to kids watching at home. First, while still on Earth she makes a pendulum that will have a period of Length Next, she has a spring with k 25 N/m. She wants to have a mass hang from the spring and oscillate up and down with the same period. How much mass should she put on the spring? mass kg Samantha...
A skyscraper in Manhattan has an elevator that weighs 1000 kg when loaded. The elevator is lifted at a constant rate to 480m above the ground by an electric winch motor. The drum of the winch motor is a solid uniform cylindrical drum in which a steel cable can wrap around it. The mass of the drum is 500 kg and has a diameter of 1 m. It takes the elevator a total of 120 s to get to the...
What are the Solutions to Part B of Chapter 2 of Tillery Physics 9th edition.......kinda pointless for you guys to only have the solutions that the book has already. 1. What was the average speed in km/h of a car that travels 400.0 km in 4.5 h? 2. What was the average speed in km/h of a boat that moves 15.0 km across a lake in 45 min? 3. How much would a 80.0 kg person weigh (a) on Mars,...
