How high does a rocket have to go above the earth's surface to be subject to a gravitational field from the earth that is 50.0 percent of its value at the earth's surface?

A) 2.650 km
B) 3,190 km
C) 9.020 km
D) 12.700 km​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 2.650 km

Explanation:

The relationship between acceleration of gravity and gravitational constant is:

[tex]g = \frac{Gm}{R^2}[/tex] ---- (1)

Where

[tex]R = 6,400 km[/tex] -- Radius of the earth.

From the question, we understand that the gravitational field of the rocket is 50% of its original value.

This means that:

[tex]g_{rocket} = 50\% * g[/tex]

[tex]g_{rocket} = 0.50 * g[/tex]

[tex]g_{rocket} = 0.5g[/tex]

For the rocket, we have:

[tex]g_{rocket} = \frac{Gm}{r^2}[/tex]

Where r represent the distance between the rocket and the center of the earth.

Substitute 0.5g for g rocket

[tex]0.5g = \frac{Gm}{r^2}[/tex] --- (2)

Divide (1) by (2)

[tex]\frac{g}{0.5g} = \frac{Gm}{R^2}/\frac{Gm}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{g}{0.5g} = \frac{Gm}{R^2}*\frac{r^2}{Gm}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{0.5} = \frac{1}{R^2}*\frac{r^2}{1}[/tex]

[tex]2 = \frac{r^2}{R^2}[/tex]

Take square root of both sides

[tex]\sqrt 2 = \frac{r}{R}[/tex]

Make r the subject

[tex]r = R * \sqrt 2[/tex]

Substitute [tex]R = 6,400 km[/tex]

[tex]r = 6400km * \sqrt 2[/tex]

[tex]r = 6400km * 1.414[/tex]

[tex]r = 9 049.6\ km[/tex]

The distance (d) from the earth surface is calculated as thus;

[tex]d = r - R[/tex]

[tex]d = 9049.6\ km - 6400\ km[/tex]

[tex]d = 2649.6\ km[/tex]

[tex]d = 2650\ km[/tex] --- approximated

A projectile is fired horizontally from a height of 10 m above level ground. The projectile lands a horizontal distance of 15 m from where it was launched.
-Find the hang time for the projectile.
-Find the initial speed of a projectile.
-What are the x and y components of the projectile’s velocity the moment before it strikes the ground?
-At what speed will the projectile strike the ground?

Answers

Answer:

a)t  = 1,43 s

b) V = 10,49 m/s

c) V₀ₓ = 10,49 m/s   ;    V₀y = 14,01 m/s

d) Vf = 17,5 m/s

Explanation:

According to the problem statement

V₀ = V₀ₓ    and  V₀y = 0

And at the end of the movement t = ?  the distance y = 10 m

Therefore as

h = V₀y - (1/2)*g*t²

Vertical distance y = h = 10 = V₀y*t - 0,5 (-9,8)*t²

10 = 4,9*t²

t² = 10/4,9    ⇒  t² = 2,04 s

t  = 1,43 s

a) 1,43 s is the time of movement

b) V₀ = V₀ₓ        V₀y = 0     and  V₀ₓ = Vₓ     ( constant )

Just before touching the ground, the horizontal distance is

hd = 15 = Vₓ * t

Then  15 /1,43 = Vₓ = V₀ₓ

Vₓ = 10,49 m/s

Then initial speed is V = 10,49 m/s    since V₀y = 0

Vf² = Vₓ² + Vy²

Vyf = V₀y - g*t

Vyf =  0 - 9,8 *1,43

Vyf = - 14,01 m/s

And finally the speed when the projectile strike the ground is:

Vf² = Vₓ² + Vy²

Vf = √ (10,49)² + (14,01)²

Vf = 17,50 m/s

A sled is pulled with a force of 540 N at an angle of 40° with the horizontal. What are the horizontal and vertical components of this force?

Answers

Answer:

Fx = 467.65N

Fy = 270N

Explanation:

Given

Force = 540N

angle of inclination = 40 degree

Horizontal component Fx = Fcos 30

Fx = 540cos30

Fx = 540(0.8660)

Fx = 467.65N

Hence the horizontal component is 467.65N

Vertical component Fy = Fsin 30

Fy = 540sin30

Fy = 540(0.5)

Fy = 270N

Hence the vertical component is 270N

Galaxy B moves away from galaxy A at 0.577 times the speed of light. Galaxy C moves away from galaxy B in the same direction at 0.731 times the speed of light. How fast does galaxy C recede from galaxy A?

Answers

Answer:

The value is  [tex]p = 0.7556 c[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at which galaxy B moves away from galaxy A is  [tex]v = 0.577c[/tex]

Here c is the speed of light with value  [tex]c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]

     The speed at which galaxy C moves away from galaxy B is  [tex]u = 0.731 c[/tex]

Generally from the equation of  relative speed we have that  

     [tex]u = \frac{p - v}{ 1 - \frac{ p * v}{c^2} }[/tex]

Here p is the velocity at which galaxy C recede from galaxy A so

     [tex]0.731c = \frac{p - 0.577c }{ 1 - \frac{ p * 0.577c}{c^2} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]0.731c [1 - \frac{ p * 0.577}{c}] = p - 0.577c[/tex]

=>   [tex]0.731c - 0.4218 p = p - 0.577c[/tex]

=>   [tex]0.731c + 0.577c = p + 0.4218 p[/tex]

=>   [tex]1.308 c = 1.731 p[/tex]

=>    [tex]p = 0.7556 c[/tex]

The distance between the compact car and pickup truck is 0.96048 m

Explanation:

The gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the interacting object, it is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.  This is shown in equation 1;

[tex]F =G \frac{m_{1} X m_{2} }{d^{2} }[/tex]............ 1

Where F is the gravitational force = 0.0001 N

G is the gravitational constant = 6.673 x [tex]10^{-11} Nm^{2} kg^{-2}[/tex]

[tex]m_{1}[/tex]  is the mass of the compact car = 900kg

[tex]m_{2}[/tex] is the mass of the pickup truck = 1600kg

d is the distance and its unknown ?

Let us make d the subject formula in equation 1

[tex]d = \sqrt{G\frac{m_{1} m_{2} }{F } }[/tex] .... 2

Substituting into equation 2 we have

[tex]d = \sqrt{\frac{6.673x10^{-11} x 900 x 1600}{0.0001N} }[/tex]

d = 0.96048m

Therefore the distance between the compact car and pickup truck is 0.96048 m

Compute the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol.

Answers

Answer:

724.3J/Kg.K

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Compute the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas.and compare with specific heat of liquid water. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol.

The specific heat capacity can be computed by using expression below

c= CV/M

Where c= specific heat capacity

M= molar mass

CV= molar hear capacity

Nitrogen is a diatomic element, the Cv can be related to gas constant with 5/2R

Where R= 8.314J/mol.k

Molar mass= 28 ×10^-3Kg/mol

If we substitute to the expression, we have

c= (5R/2)/(M)

=5R/2 × 1/M

=(5×8.314) /(2×28 ×10^-3)

=724.3J/Kg.K

Hence, the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas is

724.3J/Kg.K

The specific heat of liquid water is about 4182 J/(K kg) which is among substance with high specific heat, therefore specific heat of Nitrogen gas is 724.3J/Kg.K which is low compare to that of liquid water.

A statement of the second law of thermodynamics is that:__________.
a) spontaneous reactions are always exothermic.
b) energy is conserved in a chemical reaction that has a decrease in entropy.
c) spontaneous reactions are always endothermic.
d) in a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases.

Answers

Answer:

in a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases.

Explanation:

Entropy is a measure of of the degree of  randomness or disorderliness in a system.

The second law of thermodynamics can be stated as follows; "in any spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases."  

The universe here refers to the system's disorder and the disorder of the surroundings.  Therefore, a spontaneous process can occur, in which the entropy of the system decreases, only if the entropy increases in the surroundings.

For instance, when ice freezes, the entropy of liquid water decreases, that is, the entropy of the system decreases. However, heat is given off to the surroundings and the entropy of the surroundings increases. This is an obvious expression of this law.

A certain heat engine does 30.2 kJ of work and dissipates 9.14 kJ of waste heat in a cyclical process.
A) What was the heat input to this engine?
B) What was its efficiency?

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]H_{in}=39.34 kJ[/tex]

b) Efficiency=76.77%

Explanation:

a)

In order to solve this problem, we can use the following formula:

[tex]H_{in}=H_{out}+W[/tex]

the problem provides us with all the necessary information so we can directly use the formula:

[tex]H_{in}=9.14kJ+30.2kJ[/tex]

[tex]H_{in}=39.34 kJ[/tex]

b) In order to find the efficiency, we can use the following formula:

[tex]Efficiency=\frac{W}{H_{in}}*100\%[/tex]

so we get:

[tex]Efficiency=\frac{30.2kJ}{39.34kJ}*100\%[/tex]

Efficiency=76.77%

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m. The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N. How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator?​

Answers

Given :

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.

The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.

To Find :

How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.

Solution :

Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.

So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).

Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is  :

[tex]W = Force\times distance\\\\W = 230 \times 8.1\ N\ m\\\\W = 1863\ N\ m[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
