A 20-kg cart travels at 20 m/s in a circle with a radius of 20 m. What is the centripetal force?

Answer:

The equation for centripetal force is:

T = (mv^2)/r

T = centripetal force

m = mass

v = speed

r = radius

T = [20kg * (20 m/s * 20m/s)] / 20 m

T = [20kg * 400 m/s^2] / 20 m

T = 8,000 kg m/s^2 / 20 m

T = 400 N

Centripetal force = (mass) x (speed)² / (radius)

                           = (20 kg) x (20 m/s)² / (20 m)

                           = (20 x 20 / 20)  (kg-meter/sec²)

                           = 20 newtons

A box of mass m = 1.80 kg is dropped from rest onto a massless, vertical spring with spring constant k = 2.00 ✕ 102 N/m that is
Rudik [331]

Answer:

spring compressed is 0.724 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 1.80 kg

spring constant k = 2 × 10²  N/m

initial height = 2.25 m

solution

we know from conservation of energy is

mg(h+x)  = 0.5 × k × x²       ...................1

here x is compression in spring

so put here value in equation 1 we get

1.8 × 9.8 × (2.25+x)  = 0.5 × 2× 10² × x²

solve it we get

x = 0.724344

so spring compressed is 0.724 m

Which of the following provides evidence that geologic activity occurred in the past on Earth's Moon?
Bingel [31]

Answer: d) the presence of solidified lava flows on the Moon

Explanation:

A geological activity means an occurrence of event such as volcanic eruption, earthquake, sedimentation, erosion etc. The revolution of the Moon around the Earth , the axial tilt of the Moon  or the phases of the Moon are not surface features. hence, these events cannot provide the evidence of geological activity in the past of Moon.

The surface features of moon such as Mares, Craters, mountains, Rays and rills are the proof of some geological activity on the Moon. Mares are the dark patches on the moon's surface formed of solidified lava. Due to negligible atmosphere on the moon, the meteors strike its surface and cause craters to form. Thus, the correct answer is d.

Find the weight of an astronaut whose mass is 75 kg on the moon
gladu [14]
The formula for weight is always weight=mass X gravitational field strength.
We already know the mass is 75kg.
The gravitational field strength on the moon is 1.6N. To find out the weight, we can substitute these values in to the formula.
Weight=75 X 1.6
Weight= 120N
Weight is measured on Neutons as it is a force.
