Yes, if we know the Earth's mass

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity given by the equation

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

In this case, we are asked if we can find the velocity of the Earth by starting from its momentum. Indeed, we can. In fact, we can rewrite the equation above as

$v=\frac{p}{m}$

Therefore, if we know the momentum of the Earth (p) and we know its mass as well (m), we can solve the formula to find the Earth's velocity.

A rope passes over a fixed sheave with both ends hanging straight down. The coefficient of friction between the rope and sheave

Oliga [24]

Answer:3.51

Explanation:

Given

Coefficient of Friction $\mu =0.4$

Consider a small element at an angle \theta having an angle of $d\theta$

Normal Force $=T\times \frac{d\theta }{2}+(T+dT)\cdot \frac{d\theta }{2}$

$N=T\cdot d\theta$

Friction $f=\mu \times Normal\ Reaction$

$f=\mu \cdot N$

and $T+dT-T=f=\mu Td\theta$

$dT=\mu Td\theta$

$\frac{dT}{T}=\mu d\theta$

$\int_{T_2}^{T_1}\frac{dT}{T}=\int_{0}^{\pi }\mu d\theta$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{\mu \pi}$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{0.4\times \pi }$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}==e^{1.256}$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=3.51$

A 1500 kg tractor pulls a 750 kg trailer north and applies a 2250 N force on it. What is the force on the tractor?

Masja [62]

Answer:

law of Action and Reaction F = 2250 N

Explanation:

The tractor and the trailer are two bodies that interact, therefore, by the law of Action and Reaction, the force that one applies on the other is equal to the force that the second body (trailer) applies on the first (tractor), but with opposite direction

F = 2250 N

directed from trailer to tractor

A 250 g block of ice is removed from the refrigerator at -8.0°C. How much thermal energy does the ice absorb as it warms to room

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Q = 114895 J

Explanation:

To find the thermal energy gained by the ice you use the following formula:

$Q=mc(T_2-T_1)+H_f\ m$

m: mass of the ice = 0.250kg

T2: final temperature = 22°C

T1: initial temperature = -8.0°C

Hf: heat of fusion of water = 3.34*10^5 J/kg

c: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg

By replacing the values of the parameters you have:

$Q=(0.250kg)(4186J/kg\°C)(22+8)\°C+(3.34*10^5 J/kg)(0.250kg)\\\\Q=114895\ J$

where you have considered that ice melts completely
