Two astronauts are working on the lunar surface to install a new telescope. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is only

1.64 m/s2. One astronaut tosses a wrench to the other astronaut, but the speed of throw is excessive and the wrench goes over her colleague's head. Which of the following occurs when the wrench is at the highest point of its trajectory?
Its velocity and acceleration are both nonzero.
Its velocity and acceleration are both zero.
Its velocity is zero but its acceleration is nonzero.
Its velocity is zero but its acceleration is zero.
Insufficient information is given to choose between any of the previous choices.

Answer:

Its velocity and acceleration are both nonzero.

Explanation:

The path of the wrench is trajectory while the acceleration due to Moon's gravity is acting on it.

As the velocity follows the path, as soon as it reaches maximum height, the vertical component of velocity is zero but the horizontal component is still there, constant.

A sample of blood is placed in a centrifuge of radius 16.0 cm. The mass of a red blood cell is 3.0 ✕ 10−16 kg, and the magnitude
Anettt [7]

Answer:

f=145.29Hz

Explanation:

The centripetal force is given by:

F_c=ma_c(1)

Here m is the body's mass in which the force is acting and a_c is the centripetal acceleration:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(2)

Here v is the speed of the body and r its radius. The speed is given by:

v=2\pi fr(3)

Replacing (3) in (2):

a_c=4\pi^2f^2r(4)

Replacing (4) in (1) and solving for f:

F_c=m4\pi^2 f^2r\\\\f=\sqrt{\frac{F_c}{4m\pi^2r}}\\f=\sqrt{\frac{4*10^{-11}N}{4(3*10^{-16}kg)\pi^2(16*10^{-2}m)}}\\f=145.29Hz

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy.
Alina [70]

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy. It is a true statement .

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is basically the energy of mass in motion. Kinetic energy can never be negative and it is a scalar quantity i.e. it provides only the magnitude and not the direction.

According to law of conservation of mechanical energy change in potential energy is equal and opposite to the change in the kinetic energy.

According to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved i.e., the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can only be internally converted from one form to another if the forces doing work on the system are conservative in nature.

since, potential energy is stored in the form of work done

Work done = Fs cos (theta)

If force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion

theta =   90 °

cos (90 ) = 0

Work done  = 0

since , there is no work done , hence kinetic energy will not change

Four distinguishable particles move freely in a room divided into octants (there are no actual partitions). Let the basic states
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the door that leads to the room is opened, this gives room for particles to move into the next identical room and divided into octants. Now the amount of space that can be occupied becomes double, the number of basic states has increased by 404916

A motor raises the car up the tower from point C to point A with a constant velocity. State Newton’s First Law of Motion and exp
GarryVolchara [31]

newton 1st law: w no external force, a body will stay at rest or in constant uniform motion.

a motor raises the car up the tower. cuz it moves w/ constant vel, there is no external force: the motor force is the same n in opposity direction as the gravity force on car.

As an intern at an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel for rotation about an axis
klio [65]

Hi there!

We can begin by finding the acceleration of the block.

Use the kinematic equation:

d = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

The block starts from rest, so:

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\12 = \frac{1}{2}a(4^2)\\\\\frac{24}{16} = a = 1.5 m/s^2

Now, we can do a summation of forces of the block using Newton's Second Law:

F = ma = m_bg - T

mb = mass of the block

T = tension of string

Solve for tension:

T = m_bg - ma = 8.2(9.8) - 8.2(1.5) = 68.06 N

Now, we can do a summation of torques for the wheel:

\Sigma \tau = rF\\\\\Sigma\tau = rT

Rewrite:

I\alpha = rT

We solved that the linear acceleration is 1.5 m/s², so we can solve for the angular acceleration using the following:

\alpha = a/r\\\\\alpha = 1.5/.42= 3.57 rad/sec^2

Now, plug in the values into the equation:

I(3.57) = (0.42)(68.06)\\\\I = (0.42)(68.06)/(3.57) = \boxed{8.00 kgm^2}
