How do we weigh planets? Explain your thinking

Answers

Answer 1
The weight (or the mass) of a planet is determined by its gravitational effect on other bodies. Newton's Law of Gravitation states that every bit of matter in the universe attracts every other with a gravitational force that is proportional to its mass.

Determine the applied force required to accelerate a 2.25 kg object rightward with a
constant acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 if the force of friction opposing the motion is 18.2 N.
(Neglect air resistance.)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Im going to be using the rules for significant digits properly so I hope you're quite familiar with them. The equation we need for this is

F - f = ma where F is the applied force (our unknown), f is the frictional force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. Filling in:

F - 18.2 = 2.25(1.50) and

F = 2.25(1.50) + 18.2  Do the multiplication first and round to get

F = 3.38 + 18.2   The addition rules tell us that we will be rounding to the tenths place after we add to get

F = 21.6 N

Two charges, each q, are separated by a distance r, and exert mutual attractive forces of F on each other. If both charges become 2q and the distance becomes 3r, what are the new mutual forces

Answers

Answer:

F = ⅔ F₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

         F = k q₁q₂ / r²

let's use the subscript "o" for the initial conditions

          F₀ = k q² / r²

now the charge changes q₁ = q₂ = 2q and the new distance is r = 3 r

       

we substitute

          F = k 4q² / 9 r²

          F = k q² r² 4/9

          F = ⅔ F₀

A rookie quarter back throws a football with an initial upward velocity component of 12.0 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 20.0 m/s. Ignore resistance. How much time is required for the football to reach the highest point of the trajectory

Answers

Answer:

t = 1.22 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial upward velocity component of a football = 12 m/s

The horizontal velocity component is 20 m/s

We need to find the time required for the football to reach the highest point of the trajectory. Let the time is t.

Using first equation of motion to solve it such that,

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]

u is initial velocity

v is final velocity

a = -g

so,

[tex]t=\dfrac{u}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{12}{9.8}\\\\t=1.22\ s[/tex]

So, the required time taken by the football to reach the highest point is 1.22 seconds.

A 56.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.517 and 0.260, respectively. What horizontal pushing force is required to (a) just start the crate moving and (b) slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of frictional force = μ mg

μ is either static or kinetic friction.

To start the crate moving , static friction is calculated .

a ) To start crate moving , force required = μ mg where μ is coefficient of static friction .

force required =.517 x 56.6  x 9.8 = 286.76  N .

b ) to  slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed , force required

= μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic  friction , where μ is kinetic friction

= .26 x 56.6  x 9.8 = 144.21 N .

A train accelerates from 30 km/h to 45 km/h in 15.0 second. Find its acceleration and the distance it travels during this time

Answers

Answer:

a. Acceleration, a = 0.28 m/s²

b. Distance, S = 156 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 30 km/h

Final velocity = 45 km/h

Time = 15 seconds

a. To find the acceleration;

Conversion:

30 km/h to m/s = 30*1000/3600 = 8.33 m/s

45 km/h to m/s = 45*1000/3600 = 12.5 m/s

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

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

Substituting into the equation;

[tex]a = \frac{12.5 - 8.3}{15}[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{4.2}{15}[/tex]

Acceleration, a = 0.28 m/s²

b. To find the distance travelled, we would use the second equation of motion given by the formula;

[tex] S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]

Where;

S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.

u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.

t represents the time measured in seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] S = 8.3*15 + \frac {1}{2}*(0.28)*15^{2}[/tex]

[tex] S = 124.5 + 0.14*225[/tex]

[tex] S = 124.5 + 31.5 [/tex]

S = 156 meters

A hummingbird beats its wings up and down with a frequency of 100 Hz. What is the period of the hummingbirds flaps? (D
YOUR ANSWER)
59

Answers

Answer:

T = 0.01 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of the beats of a hummingbird, f = 100 Hz

We need to find the period of the hummingbirds flaps. Let the time is t. We know that the relation between frequency and time period is given by :

T = 1/f

Put all the values,

T = 1/100 = 0.01 s

So, the time period of the humming bird is 0.01 s.

Let's reduce the different magnitudes to the SI system

a) 30 km / h (1000m / 1 km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 3.0 10⁴ m / s

b) 37 Dm (10 m / 1 Dm) = 3.7 10¹ m

c) 750 g (1 kg / 10,000 g) = 0.750 kg

d) 4 10⁶ km² (1000 m / 1km) ² = 4 10¹² m²

e) 7500 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 75 m

f) 600000 cm² (1m / 10² cm) ² = 60 m²

g) 520700000 mm³ (1 m / 10³ mm) ³ = 5.20700000 109/10 ^ 6

The Keck Observatory is home to the largest Earth-based twin telescopes. The telescopes are located away from city lights, above the clouds where the atmosphere is clear, calm, and dry. In 1999, additional steps were taken to help the telescopes overcome any distortions caused by changes in the atmosphere by adding a laser sighting system. Now, the Keck telescopes can probe distant galaxies and capture images with more detail than even the Hubble Space Telescope. Scientists can now use the Keck telescopes to investigate many questions. What is one question the Keck telescopes would NOT help scientists answer

a) How do galaxies rotate?

b) What is the weather on Neptune?

c) What is the core of Saturn made of?

d) What other solar systems have planets?

Solution

The Hubble space telescope was designed and integrated into the extraterrestrial system in order to capture information about the surrounding universe. If the  Keck Observatory has a better observation capacity than the Hubble space telescope then the scientist would be interested to know the surrounding planets in the solar system.

The equation provided (from the textbook) first defines the elastic potential energy of a spring as ΔUsp = −(WB + WW), where WB is work the spring does on an attached block and WW is work the spring does on the wall to which it is attached. But WW is ignored in the next step. Why?

Answers

Answer:

The given potential energy of the spring is expressed as follows;

ΔUsp = -(WB + WW)

Where;

WB = Th work done by the spring on the block to which it is attached

WW = The work done by the spring on the wall

We recall that work done, W = Force applied × Distance moved in the direction of the force

The work done by the spring on the block, WB = The spring force × The distance the block moves

The work done by the spring on the wall, WW = The spring force × The distance the wall moves

However, given that the wall does not move, we have;

The distance the wall moves = 0

∴ The work done by the spring on the wall, WW = The spring force × 0 = 0 J

Therefore, WW = 0 J, and the spring does not do work on the wall, and WW can be ignored in the next subsequent) steps
