An astronaut goes out for a space-walk at a distance above the earth equal to the radius of the earth. What is her acceleration

due to gravity at that point?

Answer:\frac{g}{4}

Explanation:

Let m be the mass of Astronaut

M=mass of earth

G=Gravitational constant

R=radius of Earth

Force Exerted by Earth on Astronaut

F=\frac{GmM}{R^2}

acceleration due to gravity is =\frac{F}{m}=g

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

When it is at r=2R

g'=\frac{GM}{(2R)^2}

g'=\frac{GM}{4R^2}=\frac{g}{4}

Answer:

C. 100

D.3

E. 33.3

Explanation:

C. Mechanical Advantage=Load / Effort

= 200N

--------

100N

Therefore,. = 100

D. I. Velocity Ratio= distance moved by the effort / distance moved by load

= 30cm/10cm

= 3

II. Efficiency= M.A / V.R

= 100/3

= 33.33

A train 471 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 75.1 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l
hram777 [196]

Answer:

t = 37.6 s

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

v_i = 75.1 km/h

now we know that

v_i = 20.86 m/s

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

v_f = 15 km/h

v_f = 4.17 m/s

now we can use kinematics here

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)

a = -0.44 m/s^2

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

v_f - v_i = at

4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)

t = 37.6 s

Which of the statements best describes density?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

a.The mass that a mole of substance has, measured in grams per mole.  Density is not measure in moles, so this is not the correct answer.

b.The amount of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in moles per liter.  The substance dissolved in a liquid must be measure in grams not in moles, so this answer is incorrect.

c.The mass of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in grams per milliliter.  I think that this definition is correct but is incomple, so this answer is wrong.

d.The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume, measured in grams per milliliter and also equivalent to grams per cubic centimeter. This is the right description to density, so this is the correct answer.

Intro to Springs and Hooke’s law
wel
A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.
Springs come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.
There is nothing particularly magical about the shape of a coil spring that makes it behave like a spring. The 'springiness', or more correctly, the elasticity is a fundamental property of the wire that the spring is made from. A long straight metal wire also has the ability to ‘spring back’ following a stretching or twisting action. Winding the wire into a spring just allows us to exploit the properties of a long piece of wire in a small space. This is much more convenient for building mechanical devices.
