Troyanec [42]3 years ago

Answer:

100 N

Explanation:

Let us first find the mass of the person when they are on the earth's surface

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2} }\\

Now let us see how F changes if the distance between two masses is doubled

F_{1}  = G\frac{Mm}{(2r)^{2} } = \frac{1}{4} *G\frac{Mm}{r^{2} }

So when the distance of separation is doubled, the force of gravity between the two masses decreases by a factor of four

Therefore her new weight = 400 N/4 = 100 N

4) A cannon shoots a cannonball of mass 5kg vertically upward from the mouth of a cannon with muzzle velocity of 7 m/s. At a hei
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

h =220 m

Explanation:

Given that

u = 7 m/s

Even mass will attach but this will not produce any effect on the maximum height of the ball.Because in energy conservation the effect of mass does not present.

So the final speed of the ball will be zero at the maximum height.

v² = u² - 2 g (25 + h)

0 = 7² - 2 x 10 (25 +h)

49 = 20 ( 25 +h)

49 = 500 +20 h

Here h comes out negative that is why we are taking the 70 m/s in place of 7 m/s.

0 = 70² - 2 x 10 (25 +h)         ( take g =10 m/s²)

4900 = 20 ( 25 +h)

4900 = 500 +20 h

4900- 500 = 20 h

4400 = 20 h

440 = 2 h

h =220 m

3. The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second i
Darya [45]

Answer:

(a) Angular velocity will be 125.6 rad/sec

(b) Linear velocity will be 144.44 m /sec

(c) Centripetal acceleration = 1849.3031 g

Explanation:

We have given diameter d = 2.30 m

So radius r = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.30}{2}=1.15m

(a) Speed is given as 1200 rev/min

We know that angular velocity is given by \omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 1200}{60}=125.6rad/sec

(b) Linear speed is given by v=\omega r=125.6\times 1.15=144.44m/sec

(c) Centripetal acceleration is given by a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{144.44^2}{1.15}=18141.664m/sec^2

We know that g=9.81m/sec^2

So 18141.66m/sec^2=\frac{18141.664}{9.81}=1849.3031g

A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J
