the radius of earth is about 6.38 x10^3 km. A 7.20 x10^3 N spacecraft travels away from earth. What is the weight of the spacecraft at the following distances from Earth's surface? a) 6.38 x 10^3 km

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]1796.65\ \text{N}[/tex]

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

w = Weight of spracecraft at the surface = [tex]7.2\times10^3\ \text{N}[/tex]

m = Mass of spracecraft

R = Radius of Earth = [tex]6.38\times10^3\ \text{km}[/tex]

h = Elevation = [tex]6.38\times10^3\ \text{km}[/tex]

G = Gravitational constant = [tex]6.674\times 10^{-11}\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2[/tex]

M = Mass of Earth = [tex]5.972\times 10^{24}\ \text{kg}[/tex]

[tex]w=mg\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{w}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{7.2\times 10^3}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow m=733.94\ \text{kg}[/tex]

From the gravitational law we have

[tex]w'=\dfrac{GMm}{(r+h)^2}\\\Rightarrow w'=\dfrac{6.674\times10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\times 733.94}{(6.38\times10^6+6.38\times10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow w'=1796.65\ \text{N}[/tex]

The weight of the spacecraft at the given height is [tex]1796.65\ \text{N}[/tex]

1. Describe the components of the reflex arc

Answers

The simplest arrangement of a reflex arc consists of the receptor, an interneuron (or adjustor), and an effector; together, these units form a functional group. Sensory cells carry input from the receptor (afferent impulses) to a central interneuron, which makes contact with a motor neuron.

An amateur blacksmith wants to cool off a 42kg glowing piece of iron, specific heat 470and decides to toss it into a 5.0 kg iron bucket with 10.0 kg of room temperature(23 C) water in it. To his surprise the water completely evaporates away (meaning once it vaporizes it is no longer part of the system) and after some time he goes to pick up the bucket but finds that the bucket is at 150 C.

Required:
What was the initial temperature of the glowing piece of iron?

Answers

Answer:

The right approach is "1479°C".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of iron piece,

[tex]m_p=42 \ kg[/tex]

Mass of iron bucket,

[tex]m_I=5 \ kg[/tex]

Mass of water,

[tex]m_w=10 \ kg[/tex]

Iron's specific heat,

[tex]C_I=470 \ J/Kg^{\circ}C[/tex]

Water's specific heat,

[tex]C_w=4186 \ J/Kg^{\circ}C[/tex]

Initial temperature,

[tex]t_I=23^{\circ}C[/tex]

Final equilibrium temperature,

[tex]T=150^{\circ}C[/tex]

Latent heat,

[tex]L_v=2260\times 10^3 \ J/Kg[/tex]

As we know,

The heat lost by the glowing piece of iron will be equal to the heat gain by the iron bucket as well as water, then

⇒ [tex]m_IC_I \Delta T=m_wC_w(100-23)+m_wL_v+m_bC_I(150-23)[/tex]

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ [tex]42\times 420\times \Delta T=10\times 4186(100-23)+10(2260\times 10^3)+5\times 420(150-23)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]17640 \Delta T=3.22\times 10^6+2.26\times 10^7+2.667\times 10^5[/tex]

⇒          [tex]\Delta T=\frac{2.60867\times 10^7}{17640}[/tex]

⇒          [tex]\Delta T=1479^{\circ}C[/tex]

Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve in a circular orbit about a center of mass midway between them. This statement implies that the masses of the two stars are equal (see figure below). Assume the orbital speed of each star is |v with arrow| = 230 km/s and the orbital period of each is 15.5 days. Find the mass M of each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99 1030 kg.)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]1.554\times 10^{32}\ \text{kg}[/tex]

Explanation:

M = Mass of each star

T = Time period = 15.5 days

v = Orbital velocity = 230 km/s

G = Gravitational constant = [tex]6.674\times 10^{-11}\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2[/tex]

Radius of orbit is given by

[tex]R=\dfrac{vT}{2\pi}[/tex]

We have the relation

[tex]\dfrac{Mv^2}{R}=\dfrac{GM^2}{(2R)^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{4Rv^2}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{4\dfrac{vT}{2\pi}v^2}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{2v^3T}{\pi G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{2\times 230000^3\times 15.5\times 24\times 60\times 60}{\pi\times 6.674\times 10^{-11}}\\\Rightarrow M=1.554\times 10^{32}\ \text{kg}[/tex]

The mass of each star is [tex]1.554\times 10^{32}\ \text{kg}[/tex]

A potter's wheel is a uniform disk of mass 4.50 kg and radius 0.650 m and can spin freely around a vertical axis through its center. With the wheel spinning at an angular speed of 4.70 rad/s, a small piece of clay of mass 0.870 kg is dropped at the outer edge of the wheel and sticks to it. Find the final angular speed of the wheel clay. Treat the piece of clay as a point particle. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

3.39 rad / s.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of disk = 4.50 Kg

radius of wheel = 0.650 m

mass of the clay = 0.870 kg

The moment of inertial of the wheel = I = 4.5 kg x ( 0.65 m )2 / 2 = 0.95 kg . m2.

Now, applying the principle of angular momentum conservation :

Iω_i = ( I + mr2 )ω_f.

where ω_i = initial angular speed= 4.70 rad/s, ω_f = final angular speed

Hence, ω_f = Iω_i / ( I + mr2 )

= ( 0.95 kg . m2 x 4.7 rad / s ) / [ 0.95 kg . m2 + 0.87 kg x ( 0.65 m )2 ]

= 3.39 rad / s.

Hence, correct answer is  : 3.39 rad / s.

A graduated beaker with 375 mL of water is sitting on a scale which measures the weight of the glass and water to be 7.60 N. When a rock is put into the glass, the volume level of the water changes to 450 mL and the scale reading changes to 9.22 N. What is the specific gravity of the rock

Answers

Answer:

Volume of water displaced = 450 - 375 = 75 ml

Vr = volume of rock = 75 ml

Wr = 9.22 - 7.60 = 1.62 N  weight of 75 ml of rock

Density of rock = 1.62 N / 75 ml = .0216 N / ml

Density of water = 1000 g / 1000 ml = 9.8 N / 1000 ml = .0098 N / ml

Density of rock / density of water = .0216 / .0098 = 2.20

The specific gravity of the rock in the given water volume is 0.2.

The given parameters;

initial volume of the water, = 375 mlweight of the water, = 7.6 Nfinal volume of water = 450 mlchange in scale reading = 9.22 N

The specific gravity of the rock is calculated as follows;

[tex]S.G = \frac{weight \ in \ air}{Weight \ in \ water} \\\\S.G = \frac{450 - 375}{375} \\\\S.G = 0.2[/tex]

Thus, the specific gravity of the rock in the given water volume is 0.2.

Answer:

Reflection

the angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Hence option B is correct.

What is Reflection ?

Reflection is the change of direction of the wave at the interface which separates two media. it get incident on the other media and get return to the same media is called as reflection. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves.

we can see that in the dark room when we incident light on the mirror, the direction of the light changes at the point of the incidence. in the scientific language we can say that light has reflected from the surface of the mirror. in this case  angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection.

Any mirror bounce back the incident light. therefore it is used to see our face. it reflects almost all the light to same medium from which light has been incident.

Hence option B is correct.

to measure the static friction coefficient between a block and a vertical wall, a spring is attached to the block, is pushed on the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward. If the spring is compressed, what is the coefficient of static friction

Answers

Answer:

μ = mg/kx

Explanation:

Since the bock does not slip, the frictional force equals the weight of the block. So, F = mg. Now, the frictional force, F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = Normal force.

Now, the normal force equals the spring force F' = kx where k = spring constant and x = compression of spring.

N = F' = kx

So, F = μN = μkx

μkx = mg

So, μ = mg/kx

It's your birthday, and to celebrate you're going to make your first bungee jump. You stand on a bridge 100m above a raging river and attach a 35-m-long bungee cord to your harness. A bungee cord, for practical purposes, is just a long spring, and this cord has a spring constant of 43N/m . Assume that your mass is 79kg . After a long hesitation, you dive off the bridge. How far are you above the water when the cord reaches its maximum elongation? h=

Answers

Answer:

h = 47 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the force on the cord due to the weight:

[tex]Force = F = Weight\\F = mg\\F = (79\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)\\F = 775\ N[/tex]

Now, we will calculate the elongation by using Hooke's Law:

[tex]F = k \Delta x[/tex]

where,

k = spring constant = 43 N/m

Δx = elongation = ?

Therefore,

[tex]775\ N = (43\ N/m)\Delta x\\\\\Delta x = \frac{775\ N}{43\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 18\ m\\[/tex]

So, the final length of the cord will be:

[tex]Final\ Length = Initial\ Length + \Delta x\\Final\ Length = 35\ m + 18\ m\\Final\ Length = 53\ m\\[/tex]

Hence, the height from water (h) can be found using the following formula:

[tex]h = Height\ of\ Bridge - Final\ Length\ of\ cord\\h = 100\ m - 53\ m\\[/tex]

h = 47 m
