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

Definamos h como la distancia que hay desde el borde del pozo hasta la superficie del agua (en metros).

Consideremos la gravedad g como 9.8 m/s² y despreciemos la resistencia del aire.

La velocidad inicial vertical del guijarro es nula.
Ya que el guijarro impacta el agua tras 1.5 segundos, entonces:
h = 0.5 * (9.8 m/s²) * (1.5 s)² = 11.025 m

Resultado: 11.025 m

A person who weighs 625 N is riding a 98-N mountain bike. Suppose that the entire weight of the rider and bike is supported equa
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Explanation:

Given data:

Person's weight = 625 N

Bike's weight = 98 N

Pressure per tire = 7.60 x 10⁵ Pa

Find: Contact area per tire

Total system weight = 625 + 98 = 723 N

Let F represent the force supported by each tire

2F = 723 N

Therefore, F = 361.5 N

Using the formula F = P × A

A = \dfrac{F}{P}

A = \dfrac{361.5}{7.60 \times 10^5}

Contact area, A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Assume you are driving 20 mph on a straight road. Also, assume that at a speed of 20 miles per hour, it takes 100 feet to stop.
Maru [3345]

Answer:900 feet

Explanation:

Given

Velocity \left ( V_1\right )=20 mph\approx 29.334 ft/s

It takes 100 feet to come to a stop.

Utilizing the equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

Where

v,u=Final and initial velocities

a=acceleration

s=distance traveled

0-\left ( 29.334\right )^2=2\left (-a\right )\left ( 100\right )

a=\frac{29.334^2}{2\times 100}=4.302 ft/s^2

When the speed is 60 mph \approx 88.002 ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as

0-\left ( 88.002\right )^2=2\left ( -4.302\right )\left ( s\right )

s=900.08 feet
