Newton states: F=G*M*m/ r^2, where M= ρ* (4/3)*pi*r^3 is mass of iron planet, r is radius of the planet; 
<span> the same gravity force F=m*w^2*r is the centripetal force for the orbiting satellite, where angular speed w=2pi/T, T is period; </span>
<span> thus F=F; G*M*m/ r^2 = m*w^2*r; or; </span>
<span>G*(ρ* (4/3)*pi*r^3)/ r^2 = (2pi/T)^2*r; or; </span>
<span>G*ρ/3 = pi/T^2, hence T= √(3pi/(G*ρ)) = </span>
<span>= √(3pi/(6.6742E-11 *7860)) =4238.62s = 70h 38’;</span>

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 25.0 m/s and lands 70.0 m from the base of the ramp. How high is
Valentin [98]

Answer:

<em>The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v and from a height h, it follows a curved path ruled by gravity.

The maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {2h}{g}}

If the maximum horizontal distance is known, we can solve the above equation for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {d^2g}{2v^2}

The skier initiates the horizontal motion at v=25 m/s and lands at a distance d=70 m from the base of the ramp. The height is now calculated:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {70^2\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 25^2}

\displaystyle h=\frac  {4900\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 625}

h= 38.416 m

The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high

Sort the items based on whether they are simple machines or compound machines.
Tom [10]

Answer:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

Explanation:

Simple machine is the simplest device to use mechanical advantages. It has simplest mechanism to multiply the magnitude of force.

So, pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow are the example of simple machine because their mechanism is simplest.

Compound machine is a device that is made up of more than one simple machine.

so, sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane are example of compound machine because these devices shows more than one machine in it.

Thus, classification is as follows:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

A car traveling at 30 m/s speeds up to 35 m/s over a period of 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

u =30 m/s

v = 35 m/s

t = 5 secs

Explanation:

a = (v- u)/t

a = (35-30)/5

a = 5/5

a = 1 m/s^2
