The planet Pluto has 1/500 the mass and 1/15 the radius of Earth. What is the value of g on the surface of Pluto?

Explain the purpose of pumping while running through a half pipe

scoray [572]

<span>The purpose of pumping is to increase overall velocity. The person drops down into a crouch while traversing the more-or-less flat bottom of the U-shaped pipe or bowl. Then, as he enters the sloped part of the ramp or bowl, called the transition, he straightens his legs and rises up. By raising his center of mass just at the beginning of the arc, the person gains energy and thereby increases his speed.</span>

Points a and b lie in a region where the y-component of the electric field is Ey=α+β/y2. The constants in this expression have t

Drupady [299]

Answer:

V_{a} - V_{b} = 89.3

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined by

$V_{b} - V_{a}$ = - ∫ E .ds

In this case the electric field is in the direction and the points (ds) are also in the direction and therefore the angle is zero and the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

V_{b} - V_{a} = - ∫ E ds

We substitute

V_{b} - V_{a} = - ∫ (α + β/ y²) dy

We integrate

V_{b} - V_{a} = - α y + β / y

We evaluate between the lower limit A 2 cm = 0.02 m and the upper limit B 3 cm = 0.03 m

V_{b} - V_{a} = - α (0.03 - 0.02) + β (1 / 0.03 - 1 / 0.02)

V_{b} - V_{a} = - 600 0.01 + 5 (-16.67) = -6 - 83.33

V_{b} - V_{a} = - 89.3 V

As they ask us the reverse case

V_{b} - V_{a} = - V_{b} - V_{a}

V_{a} - V_{b} = 89.3

A ball is rolled uphill a distance of 12 meters before it slows, stops, and begins to roll back. The ball rolls downhill 20 mete

Sedaia [141]

The ball rolled a distance of
d = 12m + 20m.
But the change of position is
x = + 12m - 20m

A sample of a gas in a rigid container has an initial pressure of 5 atm at a temperature of 254.5 k. The temperature is decrease

skelet666 [1.2K]

The gas is in a rigid container: this means that its volume remains constant. Therefore, we can use Gay-Lussac law, which states that for a gas at constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. The law can be written as follows:

$\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}$

Where P1=5 atm is the initial pressure, T1=254.5 K is the initial temperature, P2 is the new pressure and T2=101.8 K is the new temperature. Re-arranging the equation and using the data of the problem, we can find P2:

$P_2 = T_2 \frac{P_1}{T_1}=(101.8 K) \frac{5 atm}{254.5 K}=2 atm$
