An astronaut uses a pendulum with a mass of 0.200 kg to measure the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X. He lifts the pendulum's mass a vertical height of 0.500 m and is able to determine that it gains 15.0 J of gravitational potential energy as it is lifted. Using this information, calculate the acceleration due to gravity (g) on Planet X

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

PE = mgh

g = PE/mh

g = 15.0 / (0.200(0.500))

g = 150 m/s²

This is one strong astronaut if he can work in an environment where gravity is more than 15 times stronger than on earth.

What happens to the gravitational force between two objects if the distance between them triples?

A. The force increases by a factor of 9

B. The force decreases by a factor of 9

C. The force decreases by a factor of 3

D. The force increases by a factor of 3

Answers

So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases. ... If the separation distance between any two objects is tripled (increased by a factor of 3), then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 9 (3 raised to the second power).

So the answer you are looking for is B.
The answer will be B.

Gravity obeys something called the inverse square law.

This means if distance increases by a factor of x, the force of gravity will decrease by a factor of x^2

For example, if distance increases by 2, the force would be 4 times weaker

If Distance increases by a factor of 3, the force will be 9 times weaker

Graphs:

It’s graphing time. These graphs are a bit different than the ones you did in the

data analysis assignment at the beginning of the course. In this case you have

three things to graph on each graph. (One graph for the 800 kg roller coaster cart

and one graph for the 300 kg roller coaster cart.) You need to graph the

gravitational potential energy with respect to height, the mechanical kinetic

energy vs height, and the velocity vs height.

Let’s look at the energy graphs first. In this case both kinetic energy and

mechanical energy cover the same range of values. This means they can use the

same scale on the y-axis. So, you will use the left y-axis and the x-axis to graph

the kinetic energy vs height and the potential energy vs height. You will need a

legend to explain which line is which. Colour coding is a nice way to highlight this.

The velocity values are much different than the energy values. This means you

need a totally different scale. So, your left y-axis won’t work. You need to make a

second scale on the right y-axis for your velocity values. You will plot the points

the same way as normal, but you will use the numbers on the right-hand scale

instead. Again, be sure to add your velocity line to the legend with a separate

colour code.

Based on the calculations, potential energy of this roller coaster at a height of 75 meters is equal to 588,000 Joules.

How to calculate potential energy?

Mathematically, potential energy is calculated by using this formula:

P.E = mgh

Where:

P.E represents potential energy.m is the mass.h is the height.g is acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

At a height of 75 m, we have:

P.E = 800 × 9.8 × 75

P.E = 588,000 Joules.

At a height of 60 m, we have:

P.E = 800 × 9.8 × 60

P.E = 470,400 Joules.

At a height of 45 m, we have:

P.E = 800 × 9.8 × 45

P.E = 352,800 Joules.

At a height of 30 m, we have:

P.E = 800 × 9.8 × 30

P.E = 235,200 Joules.

At a height of 15 m, we have:

P.E = 800 × 9.8 × 15

P.E = 117,600 Joules.

In conclusion, we can deduce that the potential energy of this roller coaster decreases with a decrease in height.

The mass of block 1 will be 1.99 kg.The tension force is applied along the whole length of the wire, pulling energy equally on both ends.

What is tension force?

The tension force is described as the force transferred through a rope, string, or wire as it is pulled by opposing forces.

Given that,

Mass of block 1=? kg

The coefficient of the kinetic friction,μ=0.200

Now consider the weight component in the uphill direction.The weight is found as;

[tex]\rm W=m_1gsin \theta[/tex]

The force is balanced in the vertical direction as;

[tex]\rm T=F_f-W[/tex]

When the force of friction is;

[tex]\rm F_F=\mu_k N[/tex]

[tex]\rm F_f=(m_1 gcos \theta)[/tex]

Substitute the value in the vertical balanced equation;

[tex]\rm T=m_1gsin(27.5)^0-\mu_kmgcos27.5^0[/tex]

[tex]\rm T-m_2g=0\\\\T=m_2g[/tex]

[tex]\rm (10.1) g=m_1g(0.699-0.2 \times(-0.714) ) \\\\ (10.1) g=m_1g (0.699+0.1428) \\\\\ (10.1) g= m_1 \times 0.8418 \\\\ m_1 =11.99 \ kg[/tex]

A scientist has invented a robot to work on the seabed. According to his calculation, the armour of the robot can withstand a maximum pressure of 10⁵ Pa exerted by the sea water. If the density of the sea water is 1025 kg/m3, what is the maximum depth of the seabed that this robot can work? [Given g = 9.81 m/s2 and rho water = 1000 kg/m3] ​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Well which is it ? ρ = 1000 kg/m³ or ρ = 1025 kg/m³?

Obviously the sea is salt water so we can ignore  ρ = 1000 kg/m³

1025 kg/m³(d  m)(9.81 N/kg) = 1 x 10⁵ N/m² = Pa

d = 9.9450535...

d = 10 meters

That's if we only account for the pressure due to the water. On top of that pressure would be atmospheric pressure which is about 101000 Pa

so the robot would be a hair above its pressure limit before it even got in the water.

LED, in full light-emitting diode, in electronics, a semiconductor device that emits infrared or visible light when charged with an electric current.

A light-emitting diode (LED) emits light by applying a forward current to the pn junction of a compound semiconductor.

When forward current is passed through the light-emitting diode, carriers (electrons and holes) move. The holes in the p-type region move to the n-type region and the electrons in the n-type region move to the p-type region. The injected carriers recombine, and the energy difference before and after recombination is released as light. The emitted light depends on the energy band gap (Eg) of the compound semiconductor.

The final velocity of the boy after the collision with snowball is 4.84 m/s at 18.4⁰ north-east

The given parameters;

Mass of the boy, m₁ = 25 kgSpeed of the boy, u₁ = 5 m/sMass of the snowball, m₂ = 1.0 kgSpeed of the snow ball, u₂ = 15 m/s

The initial momentum of the boy is calculated as follows;

The initial momentum of the snowball is calculated as follows;

[tex]P_x = m_2 u_2\\\\P_x = 1 \times 15 \ \\\\P_x = 15 \ kgm/s \ \ west[/tex]

The resultant momentum of the boy and the snowball after collision is calculate as follows;

[tex]P_f = \sqrt{P_y^2 + P_x^2} \\\\P_f = \sqrt{125^2 + 15^2} \\\\P_f = 125 .9 \ kgm/s[/tex]

The final velocity of the system boy-snowball system is calculated as;

[tex]v_f(m_1 + m_2)= P_f\\\\v_f = \frac{P_f}{m_1 + m_2} \\\\v_f = \frac{125.9}{25 + 1} \\\\v_f = 4.84 \ m/s[/tex]

The direction of the boy after the collision is calculated as follows;

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{5}{15} )\\\\\theta = 18.4 \ ^0[/tex]

The initial velocity of the 3250 Kg mass is 2.1 m/s. The distance covered by the larger mass in 5s is 4.7 cm.

In this problem, we have to apply the law of conservation of linear momentum. Note that;

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(2150 × 10) + (3250u1) = (2150 + 3250)5.22

21500 + 3250u1 = 5400 × 5.22

3250u1  = 28188 - 21500

u1 = 28188 - 21500/3250

u1 = 2.1 m/s

2) Again from the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

(0.40 × 3.5) + (0.60 × 0) = (0.40  × 0.70) + (0.60 × v2)

1.4 = 0.28 + 0.60v2

1.4 - 0.28 =  0.60v2

v2 = 1.87 cm/s

Using;
