Why does the moon lack an atmosphere?

1 answer:

8 0

Because when it had any, the warmth of the sun heated the atmosphere to the point where the average speed of the gas molecules exceeded the escape velocity for a body with the moon's mass and size. So, little by little, they escaped.

The height of the Empire State Building is 318.00 meters. If a stone is dropped from the top of the building, what is the stone'

Helen [10]

We can use 3rd equation of motion to find the velocity of the stone just before it strikes the ground.

Height = S = 318 meters
Acceleration = a= 9.8 m/s²
Initial velocity = u = 0
Final velocity = v = ?

According to the 3rd equation of motion:

2aS = v² - u²

2(9.8)(318)=v²

v²=6232.8

⇒

v = 78.95 m/s

So, the velocity rounded of to nearest integer will be 79 meters per second.

Thus, C option is the correct answer

a wheel 0.35m in diameter rotates at 2200rpm. calculate its angular velocity in rad/s and its linear speed and acceleration of a

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

( Angular Velocity = ( About ) 230 rad / s,

( Linear Speed = ( About ) 40.25 m / s,

( Acceleration = ( About ) 9290 m / $s^2$

Explanation:

Here we want the angular velocity in radians per second, the linear velocity and acceleration.

The diameter = .35 meters, and thus we can conclude that the radius be half of that, or .175 meters. For part ( a ), or the calculation of the angular velocity, it is given that the diameter rotates at 2200 revolutions per minute - but we need to convert this into radians per second.

We can say that there are 2π radians for every minute, and for every minute there are 60 seconds. Therefore -

( a ) w = 2,200 rpm( 2π rads / rev )( 1 min / 60 sec )...

Hence, w = ( About ) 230 rad / s

_____

For this second part we can calculate the the linear velocity by multiplying the angular velocity ( omega ) by the radius r -

( b ) v = w( r ) - Substitute,

v = ( 230 rad / sec )( .175 m )...

v = ( About ) 40.25 m / s

_____

And for this last bit here, to find the acceleration we can simply take the angular velocity ( omega ) squared, by the radius r -

( c ) $a_{rad}$ = w^2( r ),

$a_{rad}$ = ( ( 230 rad / sec )^2 )( .175 m )...

$a_{rad}$ = ( About ) 9290 m / $s^2$

An elevator is moving is an upwards

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.
