The radius of a planet is 2400 km, and the acceleration due to gravity at its surface is 3.6 m/s2.
What is the mass of the planet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}[/tex]

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to solve this problem:

[tex]g_P=G\frac{m}{r^2}[/tex]., where [tex]g_P[/tex] is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface, [tex]G[/tex] is gravitational constant [tex]6.67\cdot 10^{-11}[/tex], [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the planet, and [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the planet.

Since acceleration due to gravity is given as [tex]m/s^2[/tex], our radius should be meters. Therefore, convert [tex]2400[/tex] kilometers to meters:

[tex]2400\:\mathrm{km}=2,400,000\:\mathrm{m}[/tex].

Now plugging in our values, we get:

[tex]3.6=6.67\cdot10^{-11}\frac{m}{(2,400,000)^2}[/tex],

Solving for [tex]m[/tex]:

[tex]m=\frac{2,400,000^2\cdot3.6}{6.67\cdot 10^{-11}},\\m=\fbox{$3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}$}[/tex].

A student is leaving the lesson and walking to Maths at a speed of 1m/s. He notices that he is late for the lesson and speeds up to 3 m/s. It takes him 4 seconds to speed up. Calculate his acceleration.

Answers

Answer:

Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 1m/s

Final velocity, v = 3m/s

Time, t = 4 seconds

To find acceleration;

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{v - u}{t}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration = (3 - 1)/4

Acceleration = 2/4

Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

The question is incomplete. The compete question is :

Margaret Mary, Doug , and Kako are at a local amusement park. They see an attraction called the Giant Slide, which is simply a very long and high inclined plane. Visitors at the amusement park climb a long flight of stairs to the top of the 27inclined plane and are given canvas sacks. They sit on the sacks and slide down the plane 70m long. At the time when the three friends walked past the slide, a 135-kg man and a 20-kg boy are each at the top preparing to slide down. "I wonder how much less time it will take the man to slide down than it will take the boy," said Margaret Mary. "I think the boy will take less time," said Doug. "You're both wrong,"said Kako. "They will reach the bottom at the same time."

If the man and the boy do not take the same amount of time to reach the bottom of the slide, calculate how many seconds of difference there will between the two times.

Solution :

From body sliding down an incline plane, the acceleration is given by, [tex]$a = g \sin \theta$[/tex]

Since the body slides from rest, the initial velocity is, u = 0

Now the equation of motion, we have

        v= u + at

or     v = 0 +at

or      v = at

or     [tex]$t=\frac{v}{a}$[/tex] ............(1)

again we have, [tex]$v^2 -u^2 =2as $[/tex]

                         or [tex]$v = \sqrt{2s g \sin \theta} $[/tex]

Then from equation (1), we have

[tex]$t=\frac{\sqrt{2sg \sin \theta}}{g \sin \theta}$[/tex]

Thus this means that the time of sliding down an inclined plane does not depend on the mass of the body that slides.

Therefore, Kako is correct.

Since the time taken to slide an inclined plane is same for both the man and the boy, there is no difference between their time of sliding.

Answers

The correctly lists the three features shown in the photo is folds, strike-slip faults, and anticlines.

What is the difference between folds and failures?

Modern folds are those that emerged recently (on the scale of geological periods), that is, in the Tertiary Period (between 65 million and 2.5 million years ago). Faults are geological structures that originate from vertical (top-down) or inclined internal forces.

The transcurrent fault – also called horizontal fault – occurs when there is displacement in the horizontal plane between the two blocks, being more common in zones where two tectonic plates meet, when these also move horizontally.

Answers

Answer:

The true statements are;

The median of A is the same as the median of B

The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The set of the number of runs, A = {1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1}

The number of runs the pitcher allows in the tenth game = 9 runs

The set of the number of runs allowed in 10 games B = {1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1, 9}

Rearranging the data, we get  

A = 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4

B = 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 9

For the set A, we have;

Q₁ = 1, Q₂ = 2, Q₃ = 2

Therefore, the interquartile range of A = Q₃ - Q₁ = 2.5 - 1 = 1.5

For the set B, we have;

Q₁ = 1, Q₂ = 2, Q₃ = 2

Therefore, the interquartile range of A = Q₃ - Q₁ = 3.25 - 1 = 2.25

Therefore, the correct answers with regards to the two data are;

The median of A is the same as the median of B

The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A

attached to the end of the spring and is allowed to come to rest. (a) Find the length of the stretched spring.
(b) How much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring?

I just need the work please the answers is
(a) 45.2 J
(b) 0.0739

Answers

Answer:

(a) The length of the stretched string is approximately 42.53846 cm

(b) The elastic potential energy stored in the string is approximately 0.073877 Joules

Explanation:

(a) The given parameter are;

The force constant of the vertical spring, k = 26 N/m

The relaxed length of the spring, L = 35 cm = 0.35 m

The mass attached to the end of the spring, m = 200 g = 0.2 kg

By Hooke's law, we have;

F = k·x

Where;

F = The applied force on the sting = The weight of the attached mass, W

∴ F = W

The weight of the attached mass, W = m × g

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

Therefore, F = W = 0.2 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 1.96 N

From Hooke's law, we have;

x = F/k = 1.96 N/(26 N/m) ≈ 0.0753846 m

The extension of the stretched spring, x ≈ 0.0753846 m

The length of the stretched string, L[tex]_{stretched}[/tex] = L + x

∴ L[tex]_{stretched}[/tex] ≈ 0.35 m + 0.0753846 m ≈ 0.4253846 m

0.4253846 m = 42.53846 cm

The length of the stretched string ≈ 42.53846 cm

(b) The elastic potential energy stored in the string, U = 1/2·k·x²

By substituting the known values, we get;

U = 1/2 × 26 N/m × (0.0753849 m)² ≈ 0.073877 Joules

Why do we charge a capacitor under a DC voltage source only?

Answers

Capacitors are essentially two plates that are mounted next to each other, with a gap between them so that the plates don't touch. Direct current can't jump the gap between plates, because it would take a massive amount of voltage to force the electron to jump the gap between plates. The electrons hit the plate and stop. Alternating current, on the other hand, is moving the electrons back and forth in place -- so the plate on one side of the capacitor is constantly having electrons pushed in and then pulled back out. This motion creates a small electric field which induces the same alternating current in the other plate, because electric fields can jump the gap between plates. Therefore it is possible with ac supply only to make capcitor work.

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The truck collides with a 2000 kg car that is traveling north at 45 m/s. The two vehicles stick together creating a single wreck that travels south at 15 m/s. what was the initial speed and direction of the semi truck?

Answers

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

[tex]m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m_{S}[/tex], [tex]m_{C}[/tex] - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

[tex]v_{S}[/tex], [tex]v_{C}[/tex] - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

[tex]v[/tex] - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that [tex]m_{S} = 2200\,kg[/tex], [tex]m_{C} = 2000\,kg[/tex], [tex]v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

[tex]m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}[/tex]

[tex]v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}[/tex]

[tex]v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}[/tex]

[tex]v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})[/tex]

[tex]v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s} \right)[/tex]

[tex]v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]  

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

1.5 = 0.2 W

W = [tex]\frac{1.5}{0.2}[/tex]

A boat traveling across a river has a resultant velocity of 10 km/h and travels 34 degrees with respect to the shore. A) What is the boats velocity in m/s?
B) What is the velocity of the river in m/s?

Answers

Answer:

a) 1.55 m/s

b) 2.3 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the boat travels across the river, if we define the river as the x-axis, then the velocity of the boat is only on the y-axis.

Then we can write the velocity of the boat in still water as:

S = (0, B)

Now, when the boat is on the river, the velocity of the boat will be equal to the velocity of the boat in still water plus the velocity of the river.

The velocity of the river is:

v = (R, 0).

Then the velocity of the boat in that river is:

V' = (0, B) + (R, 0) = (R, B)

Now, we know that the velocity of the boat is 10km/h, and it travels at an angle of 34° with respect to the shore.

We can use the Pythagoreans theorem to write the components of this velocity as:

x-axis component = 10km/h*cos(34°) = 8.29 km/h

y-axis component = 10km/h*sin(34°) =  5.59 km/h

Then the velocity of the boat can be written in components as:

velocity = ( 8.29 km/h,  5.59 km/h)

And we knew that the velocity of the boat was written as  (R, B)

Then we must have:

R = 8.29 km/h

B = 5.59 km/h

a) The speed of the boat in m/s:

We know that the speed of the boat is 5.59 km/h.

First, we know that:

1km = 1000m, then:

5.59 km/h = 5.59*(1000m)h = 5,590 m/h

And we know that:

1h = 3600s

Then we can write:

5,590 m/h = 5,590 m/(3600s) = 1.55 m/s

b) The speed of the river in m/s:

We know that the speed of the river is 8.29 km/h

Using the same reasoning as above, we can do the change of units as follows:

8.29 km/h = 8.29 (1000m)/(3600s) = 2.3 m/s
