$Given:\\ \alpha =55^\circ\\p=20kg\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\v_v=40 \frac{m}{s} \\\\Find:\\m=?\\\\Solution:\\\\p_v=mv_v\Rightarrow m= \frac{p_v}{v_v} \\\\ \frac{p_v}{p} =\cos \alpha \Rightarrow p_v=p\cos \alpha \\\\m= \frac{p\cos \alpha }{v_v} \\\\m= \frac{20kg\cdot \frac{m}{s} \cdot \cos 55^\circ }{40 \frac{m}{s} } \approx 0.287kg=287g$

The mass of a hypothetical planet is 1/100 that of Earth and its radius is 1/4 that of Earth. If a person weighs 600 N on Earth,

omeli [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the Newtonian concept of gravitational acceleration produced by a planet. This relationship is given by:

$g = \frac{GM}{r^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius

The values given are based on the constants of the earth, so they can be expressed as

$M_p = \frac{1}{100} M_e$

$r_p = \frac{1}{4} r_e$

The relationship of gravity would then be given:

$g_e = \frac{GM_e}{r_e^2}$

The relationship with the new planet, from the gravity of the earth would be given

$g_p = \frac{GM_p}{r_p^2}$

$g_p = \frac{G(1/100)M_e}{(1/4 r_e)^2}$

$g_p = \frac{GM_e 16}{100 r_e^2}$

$g_p = 0.16 \frac{GM_e}{r_e^2}$

$g_p = 0.16g_e$

The relationship with the weight of the earth would be given as:

$W_e = m*g_e = 600N$

$W_p = m*g_p = m(0.16g_p)$

$W_p = (m*g_p)(0.16)$

$W_p = 600*0.16$

$W_p = 96N$

Therefore the weigh on this planet would be 96N

Directions: Consider a 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall. It falls to the ground.

Lana71 [14]

Answer: 784 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy $K$ of the bowling ball is given by the following equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

Where:

$m=2 kg$ is the mass of the ball

$V=28 \frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the ball before hitting the ground

Then:

$K=\frac{1}{2}2kg(28 \frac{m}{s})^{2}$

$K=784 J$ This is the kinetic energy of the bowling ball

A car accelerates from 13 m/s to24.1 m/s in 5.4 s. what was its acceleration in m/s2

Andreyy89

A = v1 -v0 / Δt

So

a = 24.1 m/s - 13m/s / 5.4 = 2.06 m/s^2

The volume of 40g of a solid is 15cm3 .will it float or sink in water/why?

zheka24 [161]

solid 's density = mass/volume=40/15 =2.6 g per cc which is greater than that of the water (1g per cc). hence it will sink.
