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

Physics

The force is calculated by multiplying mass and gravitational acceleration (F= mg). To find the solution, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied by gravity (9.8 m/s²). The result is 55,880 N, representing the upward gravitational force the elephant exerts on the Earth.

Response

54,880 N


Clarification

Gravitational force is the force exerted by an object pulling toward the Earth's center, commonly known as its weight. According to Newton's second law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Hence, if the elephant exerts force on the Earth, the Earth exerts an equivalent force back on the elephant.

Weight is calculated as mass multiplied by gravity:

= 5600 × 9.8

= 54,880 N

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

The power used by raul's microwave must match the power consumed by katrina's because both microwaves took different durations to accomplish the same heating task.

Explanation:

The power output from a car engine is equivalent to that of a bicycle since both perform the same amount of work over time. Both raul and katrina shared a frozen meal, heating each portion in different microwaves. Katrina's portion was warm in one minute, whereas raul's portion required two minutes. Therefore, the power utilized by raul's microwave aligns with that of katrina's, given that it took longer to achieve the same result.

The spring in a retractable ballpoint pen is 1.8 cm long, with a 300 N/m spring constant. When the pen is retracted, the spring
Sav [3153]

Answer:

The pen requires 7.2 mJ of energy to extend.

Explanation:

Provided:

Length = 1.8 cm

Spring constant = 300 N/m

Initial compression = 1.0 mm

Additional compression = 6.0 mm

Total compression = 1.0 + 6.0 = 7.0 mm

We need to determine the energy needed

This energy is equivalent to the variation in spring potential energy

E=PE_{2}-PE_{1}

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_{2}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}kx_{1}^2

Substitute the values into the formula

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times300\times(7.0\times10^{-3})^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times300\times(1.0\times10^{-3})^2

E=0.0072\ J

E=7.2\ mJ

Therefore, a total of 7.2 mJ is needed to extend the pen.

A rare and valuable antique chest is being moved into a truck using a 4.00 m long ramp. the kj weight of the chest plus packing
ValentinkaMS [3465]

We start by finding the angle of inclination with the sine function,

sin θ = 1 m / 4 m

θ = 14.48°

 

Next, we compute the work done by the movers using the following formula:

W = Fnet * d

 

We need to first determine Fnet. It is the weight force minus the frictional force.

Fnet = m g sinθ – μ m g cosθ

Fnet = 1,500 sin14.48 – 0.2 * 1,500 * cos14.48

Fnet = 84.526 N

 

The work done is therefore:

W = 84.526 N * 4 m

<span>W = 338.10 J</span>
