What is the approximate magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Voyager 1 spacecraft when they are separated by 17.0 billion kilometers? The spacecraft has a mass of 731 kg.
Please don't provide handwritten solution....
Two forces act on a 4.05 kg object, the gravitational force and a second, constant force. The object starts from rest and in 1.20 s is displaced (5.40î − 3.30ĵ) m. Write the second force in unit vector notation. (Enter your answer in kg · m/s2. Assume the gravitational force acts in the −ĵ direction.)
You place a box weighing 256.7 N on an inclined plane that makes a 38.1 ◦ angle with the horizontal. Compute the component of the gravitational force acting down the inclined plane. Answer in units of N.
