A probe from earth, with a mass of 106 kg, is in orbit around planet Pud in another solar system. Pud has a radius of 106 m and

the probe has an orbital radius of 107 m (its orbit is circular). If the speed of the probe in orbit is 1 km/s, what is the acceleration due to g

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity in planet Pud is of 9345.7m/s²

Explanation:

Since the probe is describing a circular motion around planet Pud, its centripetal acceleration is given by the formula:

a_c=\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Assuming there is no other external forces acting on the probe in the centripetal direction, we have that

a_c=g_{Pud}=\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Before we plug in the values, we have to convert the speed from km/s to m/s:

1\frac{km}{s} =1000\frac{m}{s}

Finally, using the given values, we can compute g_{Pud}:

g_{Pud}=\frac{(1000\frac{m}{s}) ^{2} }{107m}= 9345.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}

In words, the acceleration due to gravity in planet Pud is of 9345.7m/s²

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

v=2.02\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Assuming no energy lost, according to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the automobile becomes potential energy after the crash:

K=U\\\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx^2}{2}

Here m is the automobile's mass, v is the speed of the car before impact, k is the "bumper" constant and x is the compression of the bumper due to the collision. Solving for v:

v=x\sqrt\frac{k}{m}\\v=2.63*10^{-2}m\sqrt{\frac{5.9*10^6\frac{N}{m}}{10^3kg}}\\v=2.02\frac{m}{s}

Calculate the final speed of a 110-kg rugby player who is initially running at 8.00 m/s but collides head-on with a padded goalp
Contact [7]
<span>The answer is -0.8 m/s. We know acceleration is the average of final minus initial velocity over time (a = (vf-v0)/t). We also know that Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration (F = ma). Using our force equation, we know that the acceleration we get is negative 8.8 (-8.8). The force is acting in the opposite direction of the rugby player, hence the negative sign. From there, plug in that number for a in the velocity equation, and solve for vf, as v0 and t are known. We get 0.8 m/s in the opposite direction that the player was running.</span>

You continue moving forward, and you HOPE that some of the other
people in your Physics class are seeing this, because it's a great
demonstration of Newton's First Law of Motion.
