Explanation:

Density is the amount of matter (mass) in a given space (volume).

The density of an object can be found using the following formula:

d=m/v

where m is the mass and v is the volume.

In order to find the density, you must know the mass and the volume of the object.

Therefore, the correct answers are A. volume and D. mass.

(4A) The mass of Earth is 5.972 * 10^24 kg, and the radius of Earth is 6,371 km.
The mass of the moon is 7.348 * 10^22 kg, and the radius of the moon is 1,737
km. The centers of the Earth and the moon are separated by 384,400 km. If an
object is traveling from Earth to the moon along the line connecting the center
of Earth and the center of the moon, at what distance from the center of Earth
will the net force on the object due to the gravitational attractions of Earth and
the moon be zero?​

Answers

Answer:

x₁ = 345100 km

Explanation:

The direction of the attraction forces between the earth and the object, and between the moon and the object, are in opposite direction and  (along the straight line between the centers of earth and moon) and as gravity is always attractive, the net force will become zero when both forces are equal. According to this:

Let  call "x₁"  distance between center of the earth and the object, and

"x₂" the distance between center of the moon and the object, Mt mass of the earth, Ml mass of the moon, m₀ mass of the object

we can express:

F₁  ( force between earth and the object )

F₁ = K *  Mt * m₀/ ( x₁)²        K is a gravitational constant

F₂  (force between mn and the object)

F₂ = K * Ml * m₀ / (x₂)²

Then:

F₁ = F₂               K*Mt*m₀ / x₁²   =  K*Ml*m₀ /x₂²

Or  simplifying the expression

Mt/ x₁²  =  Ml/ x₂²

We know that   x₁   +  x₂  = 384000 Km then

x₁ =  384000 - x₂

Mt/( 384000 - x₂)²  =  Ml / x₂²

Mt *  x₂²  =  Ml *( 384000 - x₂)²

We need to solve for x₂

Mt *  x₂²  =  Ml *[ ( 384000)² + x₂² - 768000*x₂]

By substitution:

5.972*10∧24*x₂² = 7.348*10∧22 * [ 1.47*10∧11 ] + 7.348*10∧22*x₂² -

                                7.348*10∧22*768000*x₂

Simplifying by 10∧22

5.972*10²*x₂²  = 7.348* [ 1.47*10∧11 ] + 7.348*x₂²- 7.348*768000*x₂

Sorting out

5.972*10²*x₂²- 7.348*x₂² = 10.80*10∧11 - 56,43* 10∧5*x₂

(597,2 - 7,348 )* x₂²  = 10.80*10∧11 - 56.43*10∧5*x₂

590x₂²  + 56.43*10∧5*x₂ - 10.80*10∧11 = 0

Is a second degree equation

x₂  =  -56.43*10∧5 ± √3184*10∧10 + 25488*10∧11  / 1160

x₂ ₁  = -56.43*10∧5 + √3184*10∧10 + 25488*10∧11  / 1160

x₂ ₁  =  -56.43*10∧5 + √3184*10∧10 + 254880*10∧10  / 1160

x₂ ₁  = -56.43*10∧5 + 10∧5 [ √3184 + 254880 ] /1160

x₂ ₁  =  -56.43*10∧5 + 508* 10∧5  / 1160

x₂ ₁  =  451.27*10∧5/1160

x₂ ₁  =  4512.7*10∧4 /1160

x₂ ₁  = 3.89*10∧4  km (distance between the moon  and the object)

x₂ ₁  = 38900 km

x₂ = 38900 km

We dismiss the other solution because is negative and there is not a negative distance

Then the distance between the earth and the object is:

x₁  = 384000 - x₂

x₁ = 384000 - 38900

x₁ = 345100 km

Which term is the product of force and distance? A) power B) work C) net force D) acceleration

Answers

Answer:

B. Work

Explanation:

I took the test! (e2020)

Have an awesome day!

The term is the product of force and distance is work. Therefore, option B is correct.

What is work ?

Work is defined as the energy that is applied to or removed from an object by applying force along a displacement. For a constant force acting in the same direction as the motion, the work is simply equal to the product of the force's magnitude and the distance traveled.

Work and energy differ greatly from one another. Work is the transmission of energy over a specific distance in one direction with the aid of a force.

Three categories can be used to classify the type of labor performed. Positive work, negative work, and zero work are the three types. The angle between force and displacement determines the kind of work that is done.

Thus, option B is correct.

What is the amount of effort required to lift up 600N load by using a lever of one meter length whose fulcrum is 20cm far from load? Efficiency=75%​

Answers

Answer: 112.5N

Explanation: Given that the

Load L = 600N

Distance moved by load = 20cm

Since the lever is one metre, the distance moved by the effort will be

100 cm - 20cm = 80 cm

Efficiency = 75%

Efficiency of a machine is the ratio of the effort multiply by distance covered by the effort to the load multiply by the distance covered by the load as percentage.

75/100 = (effort × 0.8)/ ( 600 × 0.2)

Cross multiply

80 effort = 9000

Effort = 9000/80

Effort = 112.5 N

Therefore,  the amount of effort required to lift up the load is 112.5N

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine

took 1.5 hours more to complete the same amount of distance.

What was Elaine's average speed for the whole journey?

km/h

Answers

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

the length is = l

the time (year) = t

let k be the constant

so he have:

l=kt

2.5=k× 1

k= 2.5

Now in the next statement the 100 is given but not the length so

l=kt

~ l=k× 100 years

But k = 2.5

so :

l= 2.5×100

l= 250 cm

Hence it will be 250cm or 2.5m at which they will get separated

bumper car A (281 kg) moving +2.82 m/s makes an elastic collision with bumper car B (209 kg) moving +1.72 m/s what is the velocity of car A after the collision (unit = m/s) remember: right is (+), left is (-)

Answers

Answer: V1 = 3.559 - 0.744V2

Explanation: Given that the

bumper car A has

Mass M1 = (281 kg) moving with

Velocity U1 = 2.82 m/s

bumper car B has

Mass M2 = (209 kg) moving with

Velocity U2 = 1.72 m/s

Where U1, U2 are the initial velocity of the two cars

Since the collision is elastic, we will use the formula below,

M1U1 + M2U2 = M1V1 + M2V2

Substitute the values into the formula

281×2.28 + 209×1.72 = 281V1 + 209V2

640.68 + 359.48 = 281V1 + 209V2

1000.16 = 281V1 + 209V2

Make V1 the subject of formula

281V1 = 1000.16 - 209V2

V1 = 1000.16/281 - 209V2/281

V1 = 3.559 - 0.744V2

Therefore, the velocity of car A which

is V1 after the collision will be expressed as V1 = 3.559 - 0.744V2
