Answer:

Explanation:

This is a circular motion questions

Where the oscillation is 27.3days

Given radius (r)=3.84×10^8m

Circular motion formulas

V=wr

a=v^2/r

w=θ/t

Now, the moon makes one complete oscillation for 27.3days

Then, one complete oscillation is 2πrad

Therefore, θ=2πrad

Then 27.3 days to secs

1day=24hrs

1hrs=3600sec

Therefore, 1day=24×3600secs

Now, 27.3days= 27.3×24×3600=2358720secs

t=2358720secs

Now,

w=θ/t

w=2π/2358720 rad/secs

Now,

V=wr

V=2π/2358720 ×3.84×10^8

V=1022.9m/s

Then,

a=v^2/r

a=1022.9^2/×3.84×10^8

a=0.0027m/s^2

C. hydrogen accreted onto a white dwarf from a close companion rapidly fuses to helium, releasing a large amount of energy.

The accreted material, composed mainly of hydrogen, is compacted on the surface of the white dwarf due to the intense gravitational force on that place. As material accumulates, The white dwarf becomes increasingly hot, until it reaches the critical temperature for ignition of nuclear fusion.

Maggie walks to a friends house which is exactly 1500 meters due South. It takes Maggie 45 minutes for the walk and Maggie has t
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

<em>Explanation below</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed vs Velocity </u>

These are two similar physical concepts. They only differ in the fact that the velocity is vectorial, i.e. having magnitude and direction, and the speed is scalar, just the magnitude regardless of the direction. They are strongly related to the concepts of displacement and distance, which are the vectorial and scalar versions of the space traveled by a moving object. The velocity can be computed as

\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{\vec r}{t}

Where \vec r is the position vector and t is the time. The speed is

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

To compute \vec r, we only need to know the initial and final positions and subtract them. To compute d, we need to add all the distances traveled by the object, regardless of their directions.

Maggie walks to a friend's house, located 1500 meters from her place. The initial position is 0 and the final position is 1500 m. The displacement is

\vec r=1500\ m \text{ to the south}

and the velocity is

\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{1500}{45}=33.33\ m/s\text{ to the south}

Now, we know Maggie had to make three different turns of direction to finally get there. This means her distance is more than 1500 m. Let's say she walked 500 m in all the turns, then the distance is

d=1500+500=2000\ m

If she took the same time to reach her destiny, she would have to run faster, because her average speed is

\displaystyle v=\frac{2000}{45}=44.44\ m/s

Answer:

10 N

Explanation:

While many people would like to simply add the forces from each end to get a total force, this is fundamentally incorrect.

A stoplight with weight 100 N is suspended at the midpoint of a cable strung between two posts 200 m apart. The attach points fo
Tasya [4]

There are 3 forces acting on the stoplight:

• its weight <em>W</em>, with magnitude <em>W</em> = 100 N, pointing directly downward

• two tension forces <em>T</em>₁ and <em>T</em>₂ with equal magnitude <em>T</em>₁ = <em>T</em>₂ = <em>T</em> = 1000 N, both making an angle of <em>θ</em> with the horizontal, but one points left and the other points right

The stoplight is in equilibrium, so by Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on it is 0, such that

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>T</em>₁ sin(<em>θ</em>) + <em>T</em>₂ sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) - <em>W</em> = 0

We have sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) = sin(<em>θ</em>) for all <em>θ</em>, so the above reduces to

2<em>T</em> sin(<em>θ</em>) = <em>W</em>

2 (1000 N) sin(<em>θ</em>) = 100 N

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 0.05

<em>θ</em> ≈ 2.87°

If <em>y</em> is the vertical distance between the stoplight and the ground, then

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)

Solve for <em>y</em> :

tan(2.87°) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)

<em>y</em> = 15 m - (100 m) tan(2.87°)

<em>y</em> ≈ 9.99 m
