The person three times the distance will weigh 1/3^2 the weight or 1/9 the weight. 980=mGM/R^2 the first person on the earth's surface. The second person, p2 weighs p2=mGM/(3R)^2=mGM/9R^2=1/9 mGM/R^2= 980/9= 108.88888 N

What is the velocity of a person relative to the ground?

It is the rate of change in the person's position in the direction towards - or away from - the centre of the earth.

The answer should seem to come from behind the surface.


A person jumps off a diving board 4.0m above the water's surface into a pool the person's downward motion stops 2.0m below the surface of the water estimate the avg. decleration of the person under wa?

so what you need to do is find the velocity that the person enters the water and then use the equation v sub final squared = v sub initial squared + 2*acceleration(final distance-initial distance). final velocity is zero, find the initial velocity yourself and use 2 as the final distance where the initial distance is 0, solve for acceleration. Easy way: the decelleration would have been twice that provided by gravity because the diver decellerated to zero in half the distance of the dive. The diver starts at zero and hits max velocity in 4 meters then goes from max velocity to zero in 2 meters. 2 x 9.81 m/s2 = ___


Is friction needed for a person to walk down the street?

Yes, it is. Walking is due to the fact that, when feats move horizontally in contact with the street surface while operating a pressure due to the weight of the person on the surface itself, the surface material reacts with an attrition force that propels the person. Since muscle can exert only forces that are internal to the system constituted by the whole person, in the absence of external forces (like the street surface attrition) no change in the position of the center of mass of the person would be possible.

Can you assume another person's property tax?

I don't think that you can assume another person's property tax, unless you purchased that property from them. The short answer is no, you cannot assume someone's property tax...you could always give them a loan, though.
