Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet

Physics
1 answer:
nevsk [136]3 years ago
8 0
The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>

A block of mass m is attached to a rope wound around the outer rim of a disk of radius R and moment of inertia I, which is free
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

I is the moment of inertia of the pulley, α is the angular acceleration of the pulley and T is the tension in the rope. Let a is the linear acceleration.

The relation between the linear acceleration and the angular acceleration is

a = R α   .... (1)

According to the diagram,

T x R = I x α

T x R = I x a / R      from equation (1)

T = I x a / R²      .... (2)

mg - T = ma    .... (3)

Substitute the value of T from equation (2) in equation (3)

mg - \frac{Ia}{R^{2}}=ma

a=\frac{mg}{m+\frac{I}{R^{2}}}

T is the acceleration in the system

Substitute the value of a in equation (2)

T = \frac{I}{R^{2}}\times \frac{mg}{m+\frac{I}{R^{2}}}

T=\frac{I\times mg}{I+mR^{2}}

This is the tension in the string.

A woman is applying 300N/m2 of pressure on to door with her hand. Her hand has area of 0.02m2. Work out the force being applied​
never [62]

Answer:

6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman  = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied  = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

        Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

         Force  = Pressure x area

        Force  = 300 x 0.02  = 6N

A flywheel with a diameter of 1.42 m is rotating at an angular speed of 207 rev/min. (a) What is the angular speed of the flywhe
Archy [21]

Answer:

a. 21.68 rad/s b. 30.78 m/s c. 897 rev/min² d. 1085 revolutions

Explanation:

a. Its angular speed in radians per second  ω = angular speed in rev/min × 2π/60 = 207 rev/min × 2π/60 = 21.68 rad/s

b. The linear speed of a point on the flywheel is gotten from v = rω where r = radius of flywheel = 1.42 m

So, v = rω = 1.42 m × 21.68 rad/s = 30.78 m/s

c. Using α = (ω₁ - ω)/t where α = angular acceleration of flywheel, ω = initial angular speed of wheel in rev/min = 21.68 rad/s = 207 rev/min, ω₁ = final angular speed of wheel in rev/min = 1410 rev/min = 147.65 rad/s, t = time in minutes = 80.5/60 min = 1.342 min

α = (ω₁ - ω)/t

  = (1410 - 207)/(80.5/60)

  = 60(1410 - 207)/80.5

  = 60(1203)80.5

  = 896.65 rev/min² ≅ 897 rev/min²

d. Using θ = ωt + 1/2αt²

where θ = number of revolutions of flywheel. Substituting the values of the variables from above, ω = 207 rev/min, α = 896.65 rev/min² and  t = 80.5/60 min = 1.342 min

θ = ωt + 1/2αt²

  = 207 × 1.342 + 1/2 × 896.65 × 1.342²

  = 277.725 + 807.417

  = 1085.14 revolutions ≅ 1085 revolutions
