An astronaut sitting on the launch pad on Earth's surface is 6,400 kilometers from Earth's center and weighs 400 newtons. Calcul

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

weight at height = 100 N .

Explanation:

The problem relates to variation of weight due to change in height .

Let g₀ and g₁ be acceleration due to gravity , m is mass of the object .

At the surface :

Applying Newton's law of gravitation

mg₀ = G Mm / R²

At height h from centre

mg₁ = G Mm /h²

Given mg₀ = 400 N

400 = G Mm / R²

400 = G Mm / (6400 x 10³ )²

G Mm = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²

At height h from centre

mg₁ = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²/ ( 2 x 6400 x 10³)²

= 400 / 4

= 100 N .

weight at height = 100 N

Which body is in equilibrium?

sergey [27]

"(1) a satellite moving around Earth in a circular orbit" is the only option from the list that describes an object in equilibrium, since velocity and gravity are working together to keep the orbit constant.

Based on the graph, which data point is most likely to have experimental

Len [333]

Answer:

B. 59 kg

Explanation:

From the graph you notice that a linear relation in indicated by the line joining the points such that the points on the line represent the data that show a correct relationship in the experiment.

This means that the point outside the line has an error .

This point is the value 59 kg that does not align with other values which are included in the graph.

A truck is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 13 m/s. If the centripetal force on the truck is 3,300 N and

Paladinen [302]

Answer: Option B.

Since here the truck is moving on a circular track, it will experience centripetal force.

F(centripetal) = m × acc
or
$r = \frac{m v^{2}}{F}$

where r is the radius of the track.
m is the mass of truck
v is the speed of the truck.
Given: v = 13 m/s
m = 1,600 kg
F = 3300 Newton

To find = radius of track=?
$r = \frac{m v^{2} }{F}$
$r = \frac{1600*13*13}{3300}$
r = 81.94 m
Therefore, radius of track is 81.94 m
