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 vertical tube one meter long is open at the top. It is filled with 50 cm of water. If the velocity of sound is 344 m/s, what will the fundamental resonant frequency be (in Hz)?

Answers

Answer:

The fundamental resonance frequency is 172 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of sound, v = 344 m/s

total length of tube, Lt = 1 m = 100 cm

height of water, hw = 50 cm

length of air column, L = Lt - hw = 100 cm - 50 cm = 50 cm

For a tube open at the top (closed pipe), the fundamental wavelength is given as;

Node to anti-node (N ---- A) : L = λ / 4

λ = 4L

λ = 4 (50 cm)

λ = 200 cm = 2 m

The fundamental resonance frequency is given by;

[tex]f_0 = \frac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f_0 = \frac{344}{2}\\\\f_0 = 172 \ Hz\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, the fundamental resonance frequency is 172 Hz.

a mass of 2.00 kg rest on a rough horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is 0.60. The block is attached to a hanging mass by a string that goes over a smooth pulley,as shown in the diagram. Determine the largest mass that can hang in this way without forcing the block to slide.

Answers

Answer:

1.2 kg

__________________________________________________________

We are given:

Mass of the block = 2 kg

Coefficient of Static Friction = 0.6

__________________________________________________________

Friction Force on the Block:

Finding the Normal Force:

We know that the normal force will be equal and opposite to the weight of the 2 kg block

So, Normal Force = mg

replacing the variables with the given values

Normal Force = (2)(9.8)                    [Taking g = 9.8]

Normal Force = 19.6 N

Friction force on the Block:

We know that:

Coefficient of Static Friction =  Static Friction Force/Normal Force

replacing the variables

0.6 = Static Friction force / 19.6

Static Friction force = 0.6*19.6 N                 [Multiplying both sides by 19.6]

Static Friction force = 11.76 N

__________________________________________________________

Largest Mass that can Hang:

We know that the Static Friction force is 11.76 N, this means that a force of 11.76 N will be applied to keep the object at rest

So, if the weight of the second block is less than the static friction force, it will hang

Weight of the second block ≤ 11.76

We know that weight = mg

mg ≤ 11.76

m(9.8) ≤ 11.76                                                   [since g = 9.8]

m ≤ 1.2 kg                                                        [dividing both sides by 9.8]

From this, we can say that the maximum mass of the second block is 1.2 Kg

Calculate the RMS speed of helium atoms near the surface of the Sun at a temperature of about 5300 K.

Answers

Answer:

RMS velocity, [tex]v_{rms}=5748.75\ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

We need to find the RMS speed of helium atoms near the surface of the Sun at a temperature of about 5300 K.

The formula for RMS speed of a gas is given by :

[tex]v_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{m}}[/tex]

Where

R is ideal gas constant, R = 8.314 J /mol K

T = 5300 K

m is molar mass of Helium, [tex]m = 4\times 10^{-3}\ Kg/mol[/tex]

Substituting all the values in above formula :

[tex]v_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 8.314\times 5300}{4\times 10^{-3}}}\\\\=5748.75\ m/s[/tex]

So, the RMS speed Helium atoms 5748.75 m/s.

Answers

Answer:

F = 11226.02 N

Explanation:

The roller coaster  car and passengers have a combined mass of 1620kg.

They descend the first hill at  an angle of 45.0 degrees to the horizontal.

We need to find force is the rollercoaster pulled  down the hill.

We firstly find the rectangular component of the downward. The force acting in the downward direction is mgsinθ such that,

F = mgsinθ

= 1620 × 9.8 × sin(45)

= 11226.02 N

So, the roller coaster is pulled down the hill with a force of 11226.02 N.

Allure of the seas is one of the most expensive cruise ships around the world with a length of 362 meters(1,187 ft) and a height of 72 meters(236 ft) above water line. On her first day of operation she moves with a uniform acceleration of 83.5 km/hr2 from rest has gone 10 nautical miles. How many seconds she is in motion? Note: 1 nautical mile = 1.852 km (help 3 mins left​

Answers

Answer:

  about 2398 seconds

Explanation:

The relation between time, distance, and acceleration is ...

  d = (1/2)at²

  t = √(2d/a) = √(2·10·1.852 km/(83.5 km/h²)) ≈ √0.4436 h ≈ 0.6660 h

That is about ...

  (0.6660 h)(3600 s/h) ≈ 2397.7 s

The cruise ship takes about 2397.7 seconds to cruise 10 nautical miles, accelerating all the way.

An unknown radioactive sample is observed to decrease in activity by a factor of two in a one hour period. What is its half-life?

Answers

Answer:

The half-life is [tex] t_{1/2} = 1.005 h[/tex]

Explanation:

Using the decay equation we have:

[tex]A=A_{0}e^{-\lambda t}[/tex]

Where:

λ is the decay constantA(0) the initial activityA is the activity at time t

We know the activity decrease by a factor of two in a one hour period (t = 1 h), it means that [tex]A = \frac{A_{0}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{A_{0}}{2}=A_{0}e^{-\lambda*1 h}[/tex]

[tex]0.5=e^{-\lambda*1 h}[/tex]

Taking the natural logarithm on each side we have:

[tex]ln(0.5)=-\lambda[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=0.69 h^{-1}[/tex]

Now, the relationship between the decay constant λ and the half-life t(1/2) is:

[tex]\lambda = \frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]

[tex] t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex] t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{0.69}[/tex]

[tex] t_{1/2} = 1.005 h[/tex]

A car goes around a circular track at 30 m/s. If the radius of the curve is 90 m, what is the period of the car's revolution around the track?

Answers

Answer:

18.9s

Explanation:

Using the formula;

ω = v/r

Where;

ω = angular velocity (rad/s)

v = linear velocity (m/s)

r = radius of the circular track (m)

According to the given information, v = 30m/s, r = 90m

ω = v/r

ω = 30/90

ω = 3/9

ω = 0.3333 radians/seconds.

Since ω = 2π/T

Where;

π = 3.142

T = period (s)

ω = angular velocity

0.333 = 2 × 3.142/T

T = 2 × 3.142/0.333

T = 6.284/0.333

T = 18.87s

T = 18.9s

a car traveling at 28.4 m/s undergoes a constant deceleration of 1.92 m/s2 when the breaks are applied. How many revolutions does each tire make before the car comes to a stop

Answers

Complete Question

a car traveling at 28.4 m/s undergoes a constant deceleration of 1.92 m/s2 when the breaks are applied. How many revolutions does each tire make before the car comes to a stop? Assume that the car does not skid and that each tire has a radius of 0.307 m. Answer in units of rev.

Answer:

The value is  [tex]N = 109 \ rev[/tex]      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The speed of the car is  [tex]u = 28.4 \ m/s[/tex]

     The constant deceleration experienced is  [tex]a = 1.92 \ m/s^2[/tex]

      The radius of the tire is  [tex]r = 0.307 \ m[/tex]

     

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      [tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2as[/tex]

Here  v is the final velocity which is  0 m/s

   So

         [tex]0^2 = 28.4^2 + 2 * 1.92 * s[/tex]

=>      [tex]s = 210.04 \ m[/tex]

Generally the circumference of the tire is mathematically represented as

         [tex]C = 2 \pi r[/tex]

=>      [tex]C = 2 * 3.142 * 0.307[/tex]    

=>      [tex]C = 1.929 \ m[/tex]

Generally the number of revolution is mathematically represented as

         [tex]N = \frac{ s}{C}[/tex]    

=>     [tex]N = \frac{210.04}{1.929}[/tex]

=>     [tex]N = 109 \ rev[/tex]      

what is the force of an egg that is thrown at a brick wall if the egg has a mass of 0.3 kg and an acceleration of 50 m/s/s

Answers

Answer:

15N

Explanation:

F=ma so F=.3*50 therefore F=15N

The force of an egg that is thrown at a brick wall is equal to 15 N.

What is force?

Force can be defined as the influence or effect that changes the state of the body of from motion to rest or vice versa. The S.I. unit of force is Newton (N) as well as force is a vector quantity. Force can change the direction or the speed of the moving object.

The force acting on an object can be calculated from the multiplication of the mass(m) and acceleration(a). The mathematical form of the second law of motion for force can be written as follows:

F = ma

Given, the mass of the egg, m = 0.3 Kg

The acceleration of the egg with which it is thrown on the wall, a = 50 m/s²

The force of an egg that is thrown at a brick wall can be calculated as:

F = ma = 50 ×0.3 = 15 N

B.
66.7 seconds

C.

Answers

Answer:

t = 66.7 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of a hare, v = 15 m/s

Speed of a turbocharged tortoise, v' = 3 m/s

The hare in a 250 meter race

Let the Hare takes time t. It can be calculated as follows :

[tex]t=\dfrac{250}{15}=16.67\ s[/tex]

Let a turbocharged tortoise takes t'. It can be calulated as follows :

[tex]t'=\dfrac{250}{3}= 83.33\ s[/tex]

To tie the race, required time is given by :

[tex]\Delta t = t'-t\\\\=83.33-16.67\\\\=66.66\ s\\\\\approx 66.7\ s[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is (b) i.e. 66.7 seconds.

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

3.00 kg block moving 2.09 m/s right hits a 2.22 kg block moving 3.92 m/s left. afterwards, the 3.00 kg block moves 1.71 m/s left. find the velocity of the 2.22 kg block afterwards

Answers

Momentum is conserved, so the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision. Take the right direction to be positive. Then

(3.00 kg) (2.09 m/s) + (2.22 kg) (-3.92 m/s) = (3.00 kg) (-1.71 m/s) + (2.22 kg) v

where v is the velocity of the 2.22 kg block after collision. Solve for v :

6.27 kg•m/s - 8.70 kg•m/s = -5.13 kg•m/s + (2.22 kg) v

(2.22 kg) v = 2.70 kg•m/s

v = (2.70 kg•m/s) / (2.22 kg)

v ≈ 1.22 m/s

i.e. a velocity of about 1.22 m/s to the right.

Hey guys this is Ap physics please help I need this to pass i will mark brainliest for a good attempt

Answers

Split up the forces into components acting parallel to and perpendicular to the slope. See the attached picture for the reference axes.

The box stays on the surface of the plane, so that the net force acting perpendicular to it is 0, and the only acceleration is applied in the parallel direction.

Let m be the mass of the box, θ the angle the plane makes with the ground, and a the acceleration of the box. By Newton's second law, we have

• net parallel force

∑ Force (//) = W (//) - F = m a

(that is, the net force in the parallel direction is the sum of the parallel component of the weight W and the friction F which acts in the negative direction)

• net perpendicular force

∑ Force (⟂) = W (⟂) + N = 0

Notice that

W (//) = W sin(θ) … … … which is positive since it points down the plane

W (⟂) = -W cos(θ) … … … which is negative since it points opposite the normal force N

So the equations become

W sin(θ) - F = m a

-W cos(θ) + N = 0

Solving for a gives

a = (W sin(θ) - F ) / m

which is good enough if you know the magnitude of the friction force.

If you don't, you can write F in terms of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and plane, µ, as

F = µ N

so that

a = (W sin(θ) - µ N ) / m

and the normal force itself has a magnitude of

N = W cos(θ)

so that

a = (W sin(θ) - µ W cos(θ) ) / m

The weight W has magnitude m g, where g is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so

a = (m g sin(θ) - µ m g cos(θ) ) / m

a = g (sin(θ) - µ cos(θ))

Your electric drill rotates initially at 5.21 rad/s. You slide the speed control and cause the drill to undergo constant angular acceleration of 0.311 rad/s2 for 4.13 s. What is the drill's angular displacement during that time interval?

Answers

Answer:

The drill's angular displacement during that time interval is 24.17 rad.

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the electric drill, [tex]\omega _i[/tex] = 5.21 rad/s

angular acceleration of the electric drill, α = 0.311 rad/s²

time of motion of the electric drill, t = 4.13 s

The angular displacement of the electric drill at the given time interval is calculated as;

[tex]\theta = \omega _i t \ + \ \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\\\theta = (5.21 \ \times \ 4.13) \ + \ \frac{1}{2}(0.311)(4.13)^2\\\\\theta = (21.5173 ) \ + \ (2.6524)\\\\\theta =24.17 \ rad[/tex]

Therefore, the drill's angular displacement during that time interval is 24.17 rad.
