1 You may sometimes find it difficult to get up from the sofa after watching a TV programme.
Assuming the force of gravity acts between the centre of your body and the centre of the sofa,
estimate the attraction between you and your sofa.

Calculate the size of the gravitational pull of a sphere of mass 10 kg on a mass 2.0 kg
their centres are 200 mm apart.
What is the force of the 2.0 kg mass on the 10 kg mass?

If an astronaut takes an object to the moon the following is true (choose only one). a the mass will change but the weight will be the same. b both the mass and the weight of the object will be the same. c the weight will change but the mass will be the same. d both the mass and the weight of the object will change.

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?

In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 3.0-m-tall, 5.0-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. the cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! if all goes well, the passengers will “stick” to the wall and not slide. clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.60 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.40 to 0.70. part a what is the minimum rotational frequency, in rpm, for which the ride is safe? express your answer using two significant figures. f f = rpm
