Given data:

* The mass of the book is 2 kg.

* The initial height of the book is 0.78 m.

* The final height of the book is 2.1 m.

Solution:

(A). The work done by the gravity on the book is,

W=mg(h_f-h_i)

where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h_i is the initial height and h_f is the final height,

The work is done in moving the object in upward direction where as the gravitational force is acting in the down ward direction. Thus, the value g (acceleration due to gravity) is taken as negative in this case.

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} W=2\times(-9.8)\times(2.1-0.78) \\ W=-19.6\times1.32 \\ W=-25.9\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Thus, the work done by the gravitational force is -25.9 J.

(B). The work done by the hand on the moving the book is,

\begin{gathered} W_1=-W \\ =25.9\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Thus, the work done by the hand on the book is 25.9 J.

In an extrasolar planetary system containing a single planet, the parent star is measured to move about its center of mass every
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Orbital Time Period is 24 years

Explanation:

This can be explained by the definition of time period.

Time period can be defined as the time taken by an object to complete one cycle, here, time taken to complete one revolution.

Also, we know that an extra solar planet which is also called as an exo planet is that planet which is outside our solar system and orbits any star other than our sun. The system in consideration is extra solar system with a single planet.

Therefore, the time taken by the parent star to move about its mass center is the orbital time period that is 24 years.

The mass of a planet is 3.7 x 1024 kg. If the planet has a radius of 9.2 x 106 m what is the acceleration of gravity for a perso
nalin [4]

Explanation:

It s given that,

Mass of a planet, M=3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg

Radius of a planet, R=9.2\times 10^{6}\ m

(1) We need to find the acceleration due to gravity for a person on the surface of the planet. Its formula is given by :

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{(9.2\times 10^{6}\ m)^2}

g=2.91\ m/s^2

(2) The escape velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

v=\sqrt{{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{9.2\times 10^{6}\ m}}

v = 7324.61 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

the density of a steel is 7.8.find the mass of steel cube of side 10 cm. find volume of steel if the mass is 8kg​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Mass of the steel cube =  7800 kg

Volume of the steel  = 1.025 cubic centimetre

Explanation:

Given:

The density of the steel   =  7.8

Side of the cube = 12 cm

<u>(1)The mass of steel cube :</u>

We know that,

Density  = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

We are given with density and sides of the cube

then volume of the cube

= (side)^3

= 10^3

= 1000 cubic centimetre

Now

7.8 = \frac{mass}{1000}

mass = 7.8 \times 1000

mass =  7800 kg

<u>(2)volume of steel:</u>

Given the mass  = 8 kg

Density  = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Substituting the values

7.8 = \frac{8}{volume}

volume = \frac{8}{7.8}

volume = 1.025 cubic centimetre
