Answer:

The work done by gravity is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Gravitational force = 2000 N

Circumference = 80000 km

We need to calculate the work done by gravity

Using formula of work done

$W=F\cdot d\cos\theta$

Here, $\cos\theta$ = 0

Because, for a circular motion is always perpendicular to the force.

Where, F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

$W=2000\times80000\times0$

$W=0$

Hence, The work done by gravity is zero.

An object experiences an impulse, moves and attains a momentum of 200 kg·m/s. If its mass is 50 kg, what is its velocity?

Nady [450]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as:

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the object in this problem, we know:

p = 200 kg m/s is the momentum

m = 50 kg is the mass

Solving for the velocity, we find:

$v=\frac{p}{m}=\frac{200}{50}=4 m/s$

Question 8

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

96 Joules

Explanation:

The formula for work is Fnet times displacement (F x d = w) which, in this case, 48N is the Fnet and 2m as the displacement. Then all we need to do is multiply these two and we get 96 Joules.

Compare the maximum rate of heat transfer to the basal metabolic rate by converting a bmr of 88 kcal/hr into watts. what is the

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation :

It is given that,

BMR i.e basal metabolic rate is 88 kcal/hr. So, BMR in watts is converted by the following :

We know that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules

So, $1\ kcal/h=\dfrac{1\times 4184\ J}{3600\ sec}$

$1\ kcal/h=1.16\ J/sec$

J/sec is nothing but watts.

So, $1\ kcal/h=1.16\ watts$

and $88\ kcal/h=88\times 1.16\ watts = 102.08\ watts$

So, it can be seen that the body can accommodate a modes amount of activity in hot weather but strenuous activity would increase the metabolic rate above the body's ability to remove heat.

An airplane starts from rest at the end of a runway and accelerates at a constant rate. In the first second, the airplane travel

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

$v=4.44\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Given that the airplane starts from the rest (this is initial velocity equals to zero) and accelerates at a constant rate, position can be described like this: $x=v_{0}t +\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$ where x is the position, t is the time a is the acceleration and $v_{0}$ is initial velocity. In this way acceleration can be found. $a=\frac{2(x-v_{0}t) }{t^{2} } =\frac{2(1.11m-0)}{1s^{2} } =2.22\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ .

Now we are able to found velocity at any time with the formula: $v=v_{0} +at = 0\frac{m}{s} +(2.22\frac{m}{s^{2}}.2s)=4.44\frac{m}{s}$

Explain the change of frequency of the wave if the tension of the string is increased

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Increasing the tension on a string increases the speed of a wave, which increases the frequency (for a given length). Pressing the finger at different places changes the length of string, which changes the wavelength of standing wave, affecting the frequency.
