2. An 873 kg dragster accelerates at a rate of 44.6 m/s during a race.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to newton's second law:

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 873kg

acceleration = 44.66m/s²

Magnitude of the force is expressed as;

F = ma

F = 873 * 44.6

F = 38,673.9N

<em>Hence the magnitude of the net force exerted on the dragster during this time is 38,673.9N</em>

Synchronous communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit that is 3.59 107 m above the surface of the earth. What is

suter [353]

Answer: $0.223 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We can solve this with the Law of Universal Gravitation and knowing the acceleration due gravity $g$ of an object above the surface of the planet decreases with the distance (height) of this object from the center of the planet.

Well, according to the law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{E}m}{r^2}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G=6.67(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$ is the gravitational constant

$m_{E}=5.98(10)^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m$ are the mass of each communications satellite

$r=R_{E}+h$ is the distance between the center of the Earth and the satellite

$R_{E}=6.38(10)^{6} m$ is the radius of the Earth

$h=3.59(10)^{7} m$ is the height of the satellite, measured from the Earth's surface

On the other hand, we know according to <u>Newton's 2nd law of motion:</u>

$F=mg$ (2)

Combining (1) and (2):

$G\frac{m_{E}m}{r^2}=mg$ (3)

Isolating $g$ :

$g=\frac{G M_{E}}{r^2}$ (4)

Remembering $r=R_{E}+h$ :

$g=\frac{G M_{E}}{(R_{E}+h)^2}$ (5)

$g=\frac{(6.67(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.98(10)^{24} kg)}{(6.38(10)^{6} m+3.59(10)^{7} m)^2}$

Finally:

$g=0.223 m/s^{2}$

What would happen if brains weren't flexible

Leviafan [203]

<span>brains need to be flexible because if they weren't we would never be able to increase our intellect. human beings are more flexible intellectually because we can turn our hands to more complex things and have the ability to learn better.</span>

4. A family leaves from New York City and is flying to Los Angles which is 2800mi away. It takes

Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}$

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}$

$AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph$

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!
