Answer:

(a) 1058.4 J

(b) -10584 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of astronaut, m = 72 kg

Distance moved by astronaut, d = 15 m

(a) WORK DONE BY FORCE FROM THE HELICOPTER

Work done is given as the product of Force applied to a body and the distance moved by the body:

W = F * d

The force from the helicopter is given as:

F = m * a

where a = acceleration of the astronaut due to the helicopter

Therefore, the work done is given as:

W = m * a * d

W = 72 * g/10 * 15

W = \frac{72 * 9.8 * 15}{10}

W = 1058.4 J

(b) WORK DONE BY FORCE OF GRAVITY

W = F * d

The force of gravity is given as:

F = -m * g

where g = acceleration due to gravity

The negative sign is due to the fact that the astronaut moves in an opposite direction (upwards) to the force of gravity (Gravity acts downwards)

Therefore, the work done is given as:

W = -m * g * d

W = -72 * 9.8 * 15

W = -10584 J

A 200 g, 20 cm diameter plastic disk is spun on an axle through its center by an electric motor. What torque must the motor supp
Rama09 [41]

Answer: The torque required is 0.0471 N m.

Explanation:

Mass of the disc = 200 g = 0.2 kg (1 kg =1000 g)

Radius of the disc =\frac{Diameter}{2}= 10 cm = 0.1 m(1 m = 100 cm)

Angular acceleration = \alpha

\alpha =\frac{2\pi\times 1800}{60 \times 4 sec}=15\pi rad/s^2

Moment of inertia = \frac{1}{2}\times mass\times (radius)^2=\frac{1}{2}\times0.2 kg\times (0.1 m)^2=0.001 kg m^2

Torque=\alpha \times I=0.001 kg m^2\times 15\times 3.14 rad/s^2r=0.0471 N m

The torque required is 0.0471 N m.

1. An object 20 cm away from a lens produces a focused image on a film 15 cm away, what is the focal length
morpeh [17]

8.6 cm

Explanation:

Step 1:

In this we have to find the focal length of converging lens.

To find focal length we have,

(1/u) + (1/v) = (1/f)

where u = Object distance

           v= Image distance

           f = Focal length

Step 2:

(1/f) = (1/20) + (1/15)

(1/f) =  0.116

f = 1/0.116

f = 8.6 cm

I need help with question 8 and 9
Wewaii [24]

8) The height of the shelf is 2.04 m

9) The gravitational potential energy is 100 J

Explanation:

8)

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by:

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object, relative to the ground

For the object in this problem, we have

m = 10 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

And we know that

PE = 200 J

Therefore we can re-arrange the formula to solve for h, the heigth of the object:

h=\frac{PE}{mg}=\frac{200}{(10)(9.8)}=2.04 m

9)

As before, the gravitational potential energy of the object is given by:

PE=mgh

where in this  case, we have:

m = 10 kg is the mass of the object

h = 2.04 m is the height of the object from the ground

While in this case, the acceleration of gravity on this planet is

g=4.9 m/s^2

Substituting,

PE=(10)(4.9)(2.04)=100 J
