1) 0.61 m/s^2

2) 13.9 s

Explanation:

1)

The acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration that an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) would have.

It can be calculated using the equation:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the object from the Earth's center

The pendulum in the problem is at an altitude of 3 times the radius of the Earth (R), so its distance from the Earth's center is

r=4R

where

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

Therefore, we can calculate the acceleration due to gravity at that height using eq.(1):

g=\frac{GM}{(4R)^2}=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})0.}{(4\cdot 6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=0.61 m/s^2

2)

The period of a simple pendulum is the time the pendulum takes to complete one oscillation. It is given by the formula

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the pendulum

Note that the period of a pendulum does not depend on its mass.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have:

L = 3 m is its length

g=0.61 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity (calculated in part 1)

Therefore, the period of the pendulum is:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{0.61}}=13.9 s

Suppose 2.10 C of positive charge is distributed evenly throughout a sphere of 1.30-cm radius. 1) What is the charge per unit vo
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

\rho=2.28\times 10^5\ C/m^3

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, Q = 2.1 C

The radius of sphere, r = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

We need to find the charge per unit volume for this situation. It can be calculated a follows:

\rho=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3}\\\\\rho=\dfrac{2.1}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \times (0.013)^3}\\\\\rho=2.28\times 10^5\ C/m^3

So, the charge per unit volume is 2.28\times 10^5\ C/m^3.

To view an interactive solution to a problem that is similar to this one, select Interactive Solution 7.24. A 0.0146-kg bullet i
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

0.25223 seconds.

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of bullet = 0.0146 kg

m_2 = Mass of block = 2.55 kg

v = Combined velocity

u_1 = Velocity of bullet = 816 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

As linear momentum is conserved

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v

Now u_2=v as the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction and rises,

m_1u_1 + m_2v =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1=(m_1 + m_2)v-m_2v\\\Rightarrow 0.0146\times 816=(0.0146 + 2.55)v-(-2.55v)\\\Rightarrow 11.9136=2.2646v+2.55v\\\Rightarrow 11.9136=4.8146v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{11.9136}{4.8146}\\\Rightarrow v=2.47447\ m/s

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2.47447-0}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.25223\ s

The time t is 0.25223 seconds.

A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of = 1.00ĵ m/s2 and an initial velocity of i = 6.00î m/s. (a) Fin
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

a)     d = (6.00 t i ^ + 0.500 t²) m , b)   v = (6.00 i ^ + 1.00 t j ^) m / s

c) d = (24.00 i ^ + 8.00 j^ ) m , d)  v = (6.00 i ^ + 5 j^ ) m/s

Explanation:

This exercise is about kinematics in two dimensions

a) find the position of the particle on each axis

X axis

Since there is no acceleration on this axis, we can use the relation of uniform motion

       v = x / t

        x = v t

we substitute

        x = 6.00 t

Y Axis

on this axis there is an acceleration and there is no initial speed

         y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

         y = ½ at t²

we substitute

        y = ½ 1.00 t²

        y = 0.500 t²

in vector position is

       d = x i ^ + y j ^

       d = (6.00 t i ^ + 0.500 t²) m

b) x axis

as there is no relate speed is concatenating

       vₓ = v₀

       vₓ = 6.00 m / s

y Axis  

there is an acceleration and the initial speed is zero

         v_{y} = v₀ + a t

         v_{y} = a t

         v_{y} = 1.00 t

the velocity vector is

         v = vₓ i ^ + v_{y} j ^

         v = (6.00 i ^ + 1.00 t j ^) m / s

c) the coordinates for t = 4 s

        d = (6.00 4 i ^ + 0.50 4 2 j⁾

        d = (24.00 i ^ + 8.00 j^ ) m

 

x = 24.0 m

y = 8.00 m

d) the velocity of for t = 4 s

        v = (6 i ^ + 1 5 j ^)

         v = (6.00 i ^ + 5 j^ ) m/s

A 2000 kg car moving at 100 km/h crosses the top of a hill with a radius of curvature of 100 m. What is the normal force exerted
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The normal force the seat exerted on the driver is 125 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 2000 kg

speed of the car, u = 100 km/h = 27.78 m/s

radius of curvature of the hill, r = 100 m

mass of the driver, = 60 kg

The centripetal force of the driver at top of the hill is given as;

F_c = F_g - F_N

where;

Fc is the centripetal force

F_g is downward force due to weight of the driver

F_N is upward or normal force on the drive

F_N = F_g-F_c\\\\F_N = mg - \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\F_N = (60 \times 9.8) -\frac{60 \ \times \ 27.78^2 \ }{100} \\\\F_N = 588 \ N - 463 \ N\\\\F_N = 125 \ N

Therefore, the normal force the seat exerted on the driver is 125 N.
