Explain our ideas about why the terrestrial planets are rocky and have less gas than the giant planets.

Answer: The terrestrial planets are mainly comprised of silicate minerals and also there is presence of some metals, which were subsequently formed in the geological time scale, after the accumulation of smaller dust particles, due to the gravitational pull, during the time of formation of the planets.

Due to the location of these terrestrial planets near to the sun, their surface temperature is high enough to hold the gases like hydrogen and helium. Thus, they have a high density but less gases compared to the outer planets.

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 10 m in 4 s?

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

500 watts

Explanation:

Recall that the definition of power is the amount of energy delivered per unit of time.

In our case, the energy delivered is potential energy which we can estimate as the product of the weight of the object times the distance it is lifted above ground:

200 N x 10 m = 2000 Nm

then the power is the quotient of this potential energy divided the time it took to lift the object to that position:

Power = 2000 / 4 Nm/s = 500 Nm/s = 500 watts

A van is traveling with an initial velocity of 12 m/s. The driver takes a time of 45 seconds to speed up to a velocity of 20 m/s

Rufina [12.5K]

Initial velocity=u=12m/s
Final velocity=v=20m/s
Time=t=45s

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{20-12}{45}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{8}{45}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=0.1m/s^2$

Now

Distance=s

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow v^2-u^2=2as$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow (20)^2-12^2=2(0.1)s$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 400-144=0.2s$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 256=0.2s$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=\dfrac{256}{0.2}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=1280m$

A rocket fires two engines simultaneously. One produces a thrust of 725Ndirectly forward while the other gives a 513N thrust at

faust18 [17]

The magnitude of the resultant force, F = 1,190.3 acting at a direction X = 13.35°.

<h3>What is the resultant force the two engines exert on the rocket?</h3>

The resultant force on the rocket is calculated thus:

The 513N thrust is resolved into vertical and horizontal components;

Horizontal component: 513N cos(32.4°) = 433.14 N

Vertical component: 513N sin(32.4°) = 274.88 N

Total forward force on the rocket = 725 N + 433.14 N = 1,158.14 N

Total force at right angles:

0 + 274.88 N = 274.88 N

The resultant force (F) is then given as follows:

F² = a² + b²

F² = (1158.14 N)² + (274.88 N)²

F = √1,416,847.27

F = 1,190.3

To find the direction:

tan X 274.88 N / 1,158.14 N

X = tan⁻¹ 0.237346089419241

X = 13.35°

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force, F = 1,190.3 acting at a direction X = 13.35°.

In conclusion, the resultant force is obtained by resolving the forces into vertical and horizontal components.
