(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 445-kg satellite that is a distance of 1.77 earth radii from

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a)1396.52 N

b)1396.52 N

c) $a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2$

d) $a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2$

Explanation:

The force experienced by the satelite is giveb by

$F= \frac{Gm_{satellite}m_{earth}}{r^2} \\$

m_{satellite}= 445 Kg

m_{earth}= 6×10^24 Kg

radius r= 1.77Re= 1.77×6.38×10^6 m

now putting values we get

$F= \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}(445)(6\times10^24)}{(1.77\times6.38\times10^6)^2}$

⇒F= 1396.52 N

now,

$a_{satellite}= \frac{F}{m_{satellite}}$

$a_{satellite}= \frac{1396.52}{445}$

$a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2$

also,

$a_{earth}= \frac{F}{m_{earth}}$

$a_{earth}= \frac{1396.52}{(6\times10^24)}$

$a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2$

a student holds a 3.0kg mass in each hand while sitting on a rotating stool. when his arms are extended horizontally, the masses

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Due to change in the position of 3 kg mass , the moment of inertia of the system changes , due to which angular speed changes . We shall apply conservation of angular momentum , because no external torque is acting .

Initial moment of inertia I₁ = M R² = 3 x 1 ² = 3 kg m²

Final moment of inertia I₂ = M R² = 3 x .3 ² = 0.27 kg m²

Applying law of conservation of angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂

Putting the values ,

3 x .75 = .27 x ω₂

ω₂ = 8.33 rad / s

New angular speed = 8.33 rad /s .

Balok diam diatas bidang miring pada sudut kemiringan 40° balok mulai bergerak,tentukan koefisien gesek statis antara balok dan

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

0.84

Explanation:

m = Massa balok

g = Percepatan gravitasi

$\theta$ = Sudut kemiringan

$\mu$ = Koefisien gesekan statik antara balok dan bidang miring

Gaya balok karena beratnya diberikan oleh

$F=mg\sin\theta$

Gaya gesekan diberikan oleh

$f=\mu mg\cos\theta$

Kondisi dimana balok mulai bergerak adalah ketika gaya balok akibat beratnya sama dengan gaya gesek pada balok.

$mg\sin\theta=\mu mg\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{mg\sin\theta}{mg\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \mu=\tan40^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.84$

Koefisien gesekan statik antara balok dan bidang miring adalah 0.84.

-A 180 kg hippo is riding a bicycle at a speed of 6.0

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

0.0675 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

We apply newton's second law of motion

F = m(v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where F = force exert by the brake, v = final speed, u = initial speed m = mass of the bicycle, t = time.

make t the subject of the equation

t = m(v-u)/F................... Equation 2

Given: m = 180 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop), F = -1600 N ( agianst the dirction of motion)

Substitute these value into equation 2

t = 180(0-6.0)/-1600

t = -1080/-1600

t = 0.0675 seconds.
