The normal force is 2820.48N in the negative y direction.

<h3>According to Newton's second law of motion, </h3>

Force = mass × acceleration

F = m×A

Note that rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 31.2 m/s² .

The rocket accelerates upwards, hence the acceleration will be negative because it defies gravity's law (it keeps going into space without coming down)

Acceleration of the rocket = -31.2m/s²

Mass of the astronaut = 90.4kg

Normal force acting on the astronaut = -31.2 × 90.4kg

                                                                 = -2820.48N

Therefore, the normal force is 2820.48N in the negative y direction.

A hot air balloon must be designed to support a basket, cords, and one person for a total payload weight of 1300 N plus the addi
RSB [31]

Answer:

r = 4.44 m

Explanation:

 

For this exercise we use the Archimedes principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the dislodged fluid

         B = ρ g V

Now let's use Newton's equilibrium relationship

         B - W = 0

         B = W

The weight of the system is the weight of the man and his accessories (W₁) plus the material weight of the ball (W)

         σ = W / A

         W = σ A

The area of ​​a sphere is

           A = 4π r²

       W = W₁ + σ 4π r²

The volume of a sphere is

           V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

     ρ g 4/3 π r³ = W₁ + σ 4π r²

If we use the ideal gas equation

     P V = n RT

    P = ρ RT

    ρ = P / RT

 

    P / RT g 4/3 π r³ - σ 4 π r² = W₁

    r² 4π (P/3RT  r - σ) = W₁

Let's replace the values

     r² 4π (1.01 10⁵ / (3 8.314 (70 + 273)) r - 0.060) = 13000

     r² (11.81 r -0.060) = 13000 / 4pi

     r² (11.81 r - 0.060) = 1034.51

As the independent term is very small we can despise it, to find the solution

       r = 4.44 m

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: 1.28 sec

Explanation:

Assuming that the glow following the collision was produced instantaneously, as the light propagates in a straight line from Moon to the Earth at a constant speed, we can get the time traveled by the light applying velocity definition as follows:

V = ∆x / ∆t

Solving for ∆t, we have:

∆t = ∆x/v = ∆x/c = 3.84 108 m / 3.8 108 m/s = 1.28 sec

Diagnostic ultrasound of frequency 3.82 MHz is used to examine tumors in soft tissue. (a) What is the wavelength in air of such
maxonik [38]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of diagnostic ultrasound, f = 3.82 MHz = 3820 Hz

The speed of the sound in air, v = 343 m/s

(a) We need to find the wavelength in air of such a sound wave. Let it is given by λ₁

i.e. \lambda=\dfrac{v}{\nu}

\lambda_1=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{3820\ Hz}

\lambda_1=0.089\ m

(b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1650 m/s .

\lambda_2=\dfrac{v}{\nu}

\lambda_2=\dfrac{1650\ m/s}{3820\ Hz}

\lambda_2=0.43\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
