Answer:

Force of gravity, F = 0.74 N

Mass of an object, m = 1.2 kg

Distance above earth's surface, d=1.9\times 10^7\ m

Mass of Earth, M=5.97\times 10^{24}\ kg

Radius of Earth, r=6.37\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the force of gravity above the surface of Earth. It is given by :

F=G\dfrac{mM}{R^2}

R = r + d

R = 25370000 m

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.97\times 10^{24}\ kg\times 1.2\ kg}{(25370000\ m)^2}

F = 0.74 N

So, the force of gravity on the object is 0.74 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

a 100 g cart initially moving at 0.5 m/s collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. a) using the equation in the theory,
cupoosta [38]

A 100 g cart is moving at 0.5 m/s that collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. Final velocity is calculated to be 0.25m/s.

Collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision is known as elastic collision . Momentum and kinetic energy both are conserved quantities in elastic collisions.

Collision in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy is inelastic collision.

For an elastic collision, we use the formula,

m₁V₁i+ m₂V₂i = m₁V1f + m₂V₂f

For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocity of the 100g cart will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart.

Final velocity = 0.5/2

=0.25 m/s.

Gasoline burns inside a car’s engine. how does this fuel enable a car to move?
Svetllana [295]
<span> The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine.
Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally.
There is such a thing as an external combustion engine. A steam engine in old-fashioned trains and steam boats is the best example of an external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) in a steam engine burns outside the engine to create steam, and the steam creates motion inside the engine. Internal combustion is a lot more efficient (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an internal combustion engine is a lot smaller than an equivalent external combustion engine. This explains why we don't see any cars using steam engines.

To understand the basic idea behind how a reciprocating internal combustion engine works, it is helpful to have a good mental image of how "internal combustion" works.

One good example is an old Revolutionary War cannon. You have probably seen these in movies, where the soldiers load the cannon with gun powder and a cannon ball and light it. That is internal combustion, but it is hard to imagine that having anything to do with engines.

A potato cannon uses the basic principle behind any reciprocating internal combustion engine: If you put a tiny amount of high-energy fuel (like gasoline) in a small, enclosed space and ignite it, an incredible amount of energy is released in the form of expanding gas. You can use that energy to propel a potato 500 feet. In this case, the energy is translated into potato motion. You can also use it for more interesting purposes. For example, if you can create a cycle that allows you to set off explosions like this hundreds of times per minute, and if you can harness that energy in a useful way, what you have is the core of a car engine! </span>

A child is riding a merry-go-round that is turning at 7.18 rpm. if the child is standing 4.65 m from the center of the merry-go-
Alisiya [41]
First we need to convert the angular speed from rpm to rad/s. Keeping in mind that 
1 rev= 2 \pi rad
1 min = 60 s
the angular speed is
\omega = 7.18  \frac{rev}{min} \cdot  \frac{2 \pi}{60} = 0.75 rad/s

And so now we can calculate the tangential speed of the child, which is the angular speed times the distance of the child from the center of the motion:
v= \omega r = (0.75 rad/s)(4.65 m)=3.50 m/s
