3 0

Answer:

The strength of gravity on the moon is 1.84\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

We have,

Weight of the backpack, W = 9.2 N

Mass, m = 5 kg

It is required to find the strength of gravity on the moon. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is strength of gravity on the Moon

g=\dfrac{W}{m}\\\\g=\dfrac{9.2\ N}{5\ kg}\\\\g=1.84\ m/s^2

So, the strength of gravity on the moon is 1.84\ m/s^2.

A spring whose spring constant is 270 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.02585 BTU

Explanation:

Given: Spring constant, k = 270 lbf/in

Initial force, f =100 lbf

Compression, x = 1 in

Work done can be calculated as follows:

W = \int {(f+kx)} \, dx \\W = fx + \frac{1}{2}kx^2\\W= (100 lbf)(1 in)+ \frac{1}{2}(270 lbf/in)(1 in)^2\\W= 100+135 = 235 lbf in\\W=235 \times 0.00011 BTU = 0.02585 BTU

A wooden plaque is in the shape of an ellipse with height 30 centimeters and width 22 centimeters. Find an equation for the elli
Volgvan

Answer:

Explanation:

height of Ellipse =30 cm  

i.e. 2 a=30

Width of Ellipse =22 cm

i.e. 2 b=22

Equation of a vertical Ellipse is

\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1

a=15 ,b =11

\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{y^2}{15^2}=1

at y=4 cm

\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{4^2}{15^2}=1  

x=\frac{11}{15}\times \sqrt{15^2-4^2}

x=10.6 cm

The four-wheel-drive all-terrain vehicle has a mass of 385 kg with center of mass G2. The driver has a mass of 75 kg with center
jenyasd209 [6]

The coefficient of friction is missing and it has a value of μ = 0.4

Answer:

a = 3.924 m/s²

Explanation:

I've attached the kinematic free body diagram.

Taking the sum of all upward and downward forces,

EFy = 0;

N1 + N2 - m_p•g - m_v•g = 0

N1 + N2 = m_p•g + m_v•g

Where;

N1 and N2 are the normal reactions at the wheels

m_p is the mass of the driver

m_v is the mass of the vehicle

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Plugging in the relevant values in the question,we obtain;

N1 + N2 = (385 + 75) x 9.81

N1 + N2 = 4512.6N - - - (eq1)

Now, taking sum of all horizontal forces;

EFx = (m_p + m_v) x a

So,

μ(N1 + N2) = (mp + mv) x a

Thus,

0.4(N1 + N2) = (385 + 75)a

0.4(N1 + N2) = 460a

N1 + N2 = 1150a

From eq(1),N1 + N2 = 4512.6N

Thus,

1150a = 4512.6N

a = 4512.6/1150

a = 3.924 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration, a = 3.924 m/s²

1.) What causes ocean tides
BigorU [14]

Answer: Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by gravitational interaction between the earth and the moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon.
