An object of 5 kg is far away from the surface of the earth and has an acceleration of 6 m/s² towards the center of earth. Find the force exerted by the object on the earth
Answers
Answer:
f=ma
m=5kg
a=6m/
Explanation:5*6=30N
The force exerted is 30 N by the object on the earth
Given:
An object of 5 kg is far away from the surface of the earth and has an acceleration of 6 m/s²
To Find:
The force exerted by the object on the earth
Solution:
According to Newton second law of motion,
Change rate of momentum is equal to force,
F=
where:
F is the force
p1 is the initial momentum
p2 is the final momentum
t is the time taken
As change rate of velocity is acceleration (a),
We have,
F = ma .................(1)
a is the acceleration of body,
when we solve any problems in physics we have to convert the units of quantity in a fixed system so I’ll use S.I. system to solve this problem,
m= 5.0 kg
a= 6.0 m/s2
Using (1),
F = ma
F = (5.0)(6.0)
F = 30.0 kg/s2
The force exerted is 30 N by the object on the earth
