From the gravitational law calculate the weight W (gravitational force with respect to the earth) of a 89-kg man in a spacecraft

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f$

Explanation:

$W=\frac{G \cdot m_{e} \cdot m}{(R+h)^{2}}$

The law of gravitation

$G=6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) m^{3} /\left(k g \cdot s^{2}\right)$

Universal gravitational constant [S.I. units]

$m_{e}=5.976\left(10^{24}\right) k g$

Mass of Earth [S.I. units]

$m=89 kg$

Mass of a man in a spacecraft [S.I. units]

$R=6371 \mathrm{~km}$

Earth radius [km]

Distance between man and the earth's surface

$h=261 \mathrm{~km} \quad[\mathrm{~km}]$

ESULT $W=\frac{6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) \cdot 5.976\left(10^{24}\right) \cdot 89}{\left(6371 \cdot 10^{3}+261 \cdot 10^{3}\right)^{2}}=773.22 \mathrm{~N}$

$W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f$

Calculate the mass of an object with a density of 102.5 g/mL and volume of 375 mL.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

38,437.5

Explanation:

Density(d)= 102.5g/ml

Volume (v)=375ml

Mass(m) = ?

D =m/v

102.5= m/375

102.5*375=m

38,437.5=m

therefore Mass = 38,437.5g/ml.

A man at point A directs his rowboat due north toward point B, straight across a river of width 100 m. The river current is due

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.35208 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of the boat = 0.75 m/s

Distance between the shores = 100 m

Time = Distance / Speed

$Time=\frac{100}{0.75}=133.33\ s$

Time taken by the boat to get across is 133.33 seconds

Point C is 150 m from B

Speed = Distance / Time

$Speed=\frac{150}{\frac{100}{0.75}}=1.125\ m/s$

Velocity of the water is 1.125 m/s

From Pythagoras theorem

$c=\sqrt{0.75^2+1.125^2}\\\Rightarrow c=1.35208\ m/s$

So, the man's velocity relative to the shore is 1.35208 m/s

Your iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave p

Umnica [9.8K]

The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is
v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is
f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

Because velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ, is given by
fλ = v
λ = v/f
= (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)
= 1/3 m

Answer: 1/3 m
