The center of a moon of mass m is a distance D from the center of a planet of mass M. At some distance x from the center of the

planet, along a line connecting the centers of planet and moon, the net force on an object will be zero. (a) Derive an expression for x in terms of m, M, and D. (b) If the net force is zero a distance 2/3D from the planet, what is the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon, M/m?

Answer:

x = D (M/M-m) 2.41

Explanation:

a) Let's apply Newton's second law to find the summation of force, where each force is given by the law of universal gravitation

        F = g m₁m₂ / r²

        Σ F = 0

       F1- F2 = 0

       F1 = F2

We set the reference system in the body of greatest mass (M) the planet

       F1 = g m₁ M / x²

       F2 = G m1 m / (D-x)²

      G m₁ M / x² = G m₁ m / (D-x)²

      M (D-x)² = m x²

      MD² -2MD x + M x² = m x²

     x² (M-m) -2MD x + MD² = 0

We solve the second degree equation

     x = [2MD  ±√ (4M²D² - 4 (M-m) MD²)] / 2 (M-m)

     x = {2MD ± 2D √ (M² + (M-m) M)} / 2 (M-m)

     x = D {M  ±  Ra (2M²-mM)} / (M-m)

    x = D (M ± M √ (2-m/M)) / (M-m)

    x = D (M / (M-m)) (1 ±√ (2-m/M)

Let's analyze this result, the value of M-m >> 1, so if we take the negative root, the value of x would be negative, it is out of the point between the two bodies, so the correct result must be taken with the positive root

 

    x = D (M / (M-m)) (1 + √2)

     x = D (M/M-m) 2.41

b) X = 2/3 D

     x = D (M/M-m) 2.41

     2/3 D = D (M/(M-m)) 2.41

     2/3 (M-m) = M 2.41

     2/3 M - 2/3 m = 2.41 M

     1.743 M = 0.667 m

     M/m = 0.667/1.743

     M/m =  0.38

A 100-W lightbulb is placed in a cylinder equipped with a moveable piston. The lightbulb is turned on for 0.010 hour, and the as
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

w =  - 508.53 joules

q = - 3091.47 joules

Explanation:

Let us convert the time in hours into seconds

0.010* 3600\\= 36

Change in internal energy

\delta E = p * \delta t

where E is the internal energy in Joules

p is the power in watts

and t is the time in seconds

\delta E = - 100 * 36\\

\delta E = - 3600 Joules

Amount of work done by the system

w = - P * \delta V

where P is the pressure and V is the volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

w = - 1 * ( 5.92 -0.90)\\

w = -5.02 liter-atmospheres

Work done in Joules

- 5.02 * 101.3\\= 508.53Joules

q = \delta E - w\\

Substituting the given values we get -

q = - 3600 - (-508.53)\\q = - 3091.47

Thus

w =  - 508.53 joules

q = - 3091.47 joules

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 10 m in 4 s?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

500 watts

Explanation:

Recall that the definition of power is the amount of energy delivered per unit of time.

In our case, the energy delivered is potential energy which we can estimate as the product of the weight of the object times the distance it is lifted above ground:

200 N x 10 m = 2000  Nm

then the power is the quotient of this potential energy divided the time it took to lift the object to that position:

Power = 2000 / 4   Nm/s = 500 Nm/s = 500 watts

What relationship exists between speed, velocity, and acceleration
enyata [817]
Velocity is speed and the direction of the speed. Acceleration is the rate at which Velocity is changing, and the direction in which it's changing.
