Explanation :

It is given that, the weight of the person on the earth is 600 N. The weight is equal to :

W = m g

where

g is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth, g = 10 m/s²

$600\ N=m\times 10\ m/s^2$

m = 60 kg

We know that the mass of an object remains constant everywhere.

The value of g on moon is, g' = 1.63 m/s²

So, W' = m g'

$W'= 60\ kg\times 1.63 m/s^2$

W' = 97.8 N

Hence, the weigh on the moon is 97.8 N.

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.

atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

$\boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}$

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

m = 0.3 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 15 m
PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}$

Replace and solve:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}$

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is 44.1 Joules.

Greetings.

QUESTION 7

ryzh [129]

Answer:

The force required is 3,104 N

Explanation:

Force

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = ma

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

On the other hand, the equations of the Kinematics describe the motion of the object by the equation:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where:

vf is the final speed

vo is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

We are given the initial speed as vo=20.4 m/s, the final speed as vf=0 (at rest), and the time taken to stop the car as t=7.4 s. The acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{0-20.4}{7.4}$

$a=-2.757\ m/s^2$

The acceleration is negative because the car is braking (losing speed). Now compute the force exerted on the car of mass m=1,126 kg:

$F = 1,126\ kg * 2.757\ m/s^2$

F= 3,104 N

The force required is 3,104 N

System A has masses m and m separated by a distance r; system B has masses m and 2m separated by a distance 2r; system C has mas

Anna [14]

Answer:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two masses m1, m2 separated by a distance r is given by:

$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant. Let's apply this formula to each case now to calculate the relative force for each system:

System A has masses m and m separated by a distance r:

$F=G\frac{m \cdot m}{r^2}=G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system B has masses m and 2m separated by a distance 2r:

$F=G\frac{m \cdot 2m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{2m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{1}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system C has masses 2m and 3m separated by a distance 2r:

$F=G\frac{2m \cdot 3m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{6m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{3}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system D has masses 4m and 5m separated by a distance 3r:

$F=G\frac{4m \cdot 5m}{(3r)^2}=G \frac{20m^2}{9r^2}=\frac{20}{9} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

Now, by looking at the 4 different forces, we can rank them from the greatest to the smallest force, and we find:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

The initial kinetic energy imparted to a 0.020 kg bullet is 1200 J. (a) Assuming it

Lilit [14]

Answer:

(a) Power= 207.97 kW

(b) Range= 5768.6 meter

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of bullet, $m=0.02 kg$

Kinetic energy imparted, $K=1200 J$

Length of rifle barrel, $d=1 m$

(a)

Let the speed of bullet when it leaves the barrel is $v$ .

Kinetic energy, $K=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1200}{0.02} }$

$=346.4m/s$

Initial speed of bullet, $u=0$

The average speed in the barrel, $v_a_v_g=\frac{u+v}{2}$

$=\frac{0+346.4}{2} \\=173.2 m/s$

Time taken by bullet to cross the barrel, $t=\frac{d}{v}$

$=\frac{1}{173.2}\\ =0.00577 second$

Power, $P_a_v_g=\frac{W}{t}$

$=\frac{1200}{0.00577} \\=207.97kW$

(b)

In projectile motion,

Maximum height, $H_m=\frac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g} \\$

Range, $R=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}$

given that, $H_m=R$

then, $\frac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\sin^2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\theta\\\\\tan\theta=4\\\theta=\tan^-^14\\\theta=75.96^0\\R=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\=\frac{346.4^2\times\sin(2\times75.96)}{9.8}\\5768.6 meter$
