A lunar module weighs 12 metric tons on the surface of the Earth. How much work is done in propelling the module from the surfac

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

W=76.55 miles.metric tons

Explanation:

Given that

Weight on the earth = 12 tons

So weight on the moon =12/6 = 2 tons

( because at moon g will become g/6)

As we know that

$F=\dfrac{K}{x^2}$

Here x= 1100 miles

F 2 tons

$2=\dfrac{K}{1100^2}$

$K=2.4\times 10^6$

We know that

Work = F. dx

$W=\int_{x_1}^{x_2}F.dx$

$W=\int_{1100}^{1140}\dfrac{2.4\times 10^6}{x^2}.dx$

$W=-2.4\times 10^6\left[\dfrac{1}{x}\right]_{1100}^{1140}$

$W=-2.4\times 10^6\left[\dfrac{1}{1140}-\dfrac{1}{1100}\right]$

W=76.55 miles.metric tons

A person of mass m will bungee-jump from a bridge over a river where the height from the bridge to the river is h. The bungee co

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of $\frac{2h}{3}$

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

$mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}$

$mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}$

$k=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Thus $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

The masses of the Moon and Earth are 7.35 x 1022 kg and 5.97 x 1024 kg, respectively. The strength of the gravitational force be

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Distance between centre of Earth and centre of Moon is 3.85 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The attractive force experienced by two mass objects is known as Gravitational force.

The gravitational force is determine by the relation:

$F=\frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }$ ....(1)

According to the problem,

Mass of Moon, m₁ = 7.35 x 10²² kg

Mass of Earth, m₂ = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Gravitational force experienced by them, F = 1.98 x 10²⁰ N

Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²

Substitute these values in equation (1).

$1.98\times10^{20} =\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times7.35\times10^{22}\times5.97\times10^{24} }{d^{2} }$

$d^{2}=\frac{2.93\times10^{37}}{1.98\times10^{20}}$

$d=\sqrt{1.48\times10^{17}}$

d = 3.85 x 10⁸ m

Two identical stones are thrown from the top of a tall building. Stone 1 is thrown vertically downward with an initial speed v,

Molodets [167]

If the resistance of the Air is ignored, we can use the theory given by Galileo in which he warned that the thermal velocity of a body in free fall was given by

$v= \frac{1}{2}gt$

Where

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = time

As we can see the speed of objects in free fall is indifferent to the position that is launched (as long as the resistance of the air is ignored) or its mass.

Both bodies will end with the same thermal speed.
