Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of birth. The only known force a planet exerts on earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the gravitational force exerted on a 5.00 kg baby by a 130 kg father 0.300 m away at birth (assisting so he is close).
N
(b) Calculate the force on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest to the earth, some 6.29 ✕ 1011 m away, showing it to be comparable to that of the father. The mass of Jupiter is about 1.90 ✕ 1027 kg. Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.)

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage

Amoving company collects data about couches they move and displays the data in a table. the force along the ramp, the angle of the ramp, and the height the couch is raised to are shown. which statements correctly compare the work done to move the couches? check all that apply. the same amount of work is done for couches 1 and 3. the same amount of work is done for couches 2 and 3. the work for couch 1 is greater than the work for couch 2. the work for couch 2 is less than the work for couch 3. the work for couch 3 is greater than the work for couch 1. the work for couch 2 is greater than the work for couch 1.
