An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. An astronaut lands on the rock to bury explosive charges that will blow the ast
forsale [732]

Answer:

The maximum radius the asteroid can have for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up is approximately 1782.45 meters

Explanation:

Whereby the height the astronaut can jump on Earth = 0.500 m, we have the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2·g·h

Where;

v = The final velocity

u = The initial velocity

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

h = The height she jumps

At the maximum height, h_{max} = 0.500 m, she jumps, v = 0, therefore, we have;

0² = u² - 2·g·h_{max}

u² = 2 × 9.8 × 0.5 = 9.8

u = √9.8 ≈ 3.13

u = 3.13 m/s

Her initial jumping velocity ≈ 3.13 m/s

Escape velocity, v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M}{r} }

Where;

M = The mass of the asteroid

G = The Universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)

r = The radius of the asteroid

The average density of the Earth = 5515 kg/m³

The mass of the asteroid, M = Density × Volume = 5515 kg/m³× 4/3 × π × r³

The escape velocity, she has, v_e ≈ 3.13 m/s is therefore;

3.13 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 6.67408 \times 10^{-11} \times 5515 \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^3}{r} } = r \times \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}

r = \dfrac{3.13}{ \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}} \approx 1782.45

Therefore, the maximum radius of the asteroid can have for her jumping velocity to be equal to the escape velocity for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up = r ≈ 1782.45 meters.

What are subtomic particles<br>​
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

In the physical sciences, subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. They can be composite particles, such as the neutron and proton; or elementary particles, which according to the standard model are not made of other particles. Particle physics and nuclear physics study these particles and how they interact.

A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

A 100-W (watt) light bulb has resistance R=143Ω (ohms) when attached to household current, where voltage varies as V=V0sin(2πft)
Phantasy [73]

Complete Question

A 100-W (watt) light bulb has resistance R=143Ω (ohms) when attached to household current, where voltage varies as V=V0sin(2πft), where V0=110 V, f=60 Hz. The power supplied to the bulb is P=V2R J/s (joules per second) and the total energy expended over a time period [0,T] (in seconds) is U  =  \int\limits^T_0 {P(t)} \, dt

Compute U if the bulb remains on for 5h

Answer:

The value is  U  =  7.563 *10^{5} \  J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The power rating of the bulb is P  =  100 \  W

   The resistance is   R =  143 \ \Omega

   The  voltage is  V  =  V_o  sin [2 \pi ft]

   The  energy expanded is U  =  \int\limits^T_0 {P(t)} \, dt

   The  voltage  V_o  =  110 \  V

   The frequency is  f =  60 \  Hz

    The  time considered is  t =  5 \  h  =  18000 \  s

Generally power is mathematically represented as

             P =  \frac{V^2}{ R}

=>          P =  \frac{( 110  sin [2 \pi * 60t])^2}{ 144}

=>           P =  \frac{ 110^2 [ sin [120 \pi t])^2}{ 144}

So  

     U  =  \int\limits^T_0 { \frac{ 110^2*  [sin [120 \pi t])^2}{ 144}} \, dt

=>  U  =  \frac{110^2}{144} \int\limits^T_0 { (   sin^2 [120 \pi t]} \, dt

=>  U =  \frac{110^2}{144} \int\limits^T_0 { \frac{1 - cos 2 (120\pi t)}{2} } \, dt

=>  U =  \frac{110^2}{144} \int\limits^T_0 { \frac{1 - cos 240 \pi t)}{2} } \, dt

=>  U =  \frac{110^2}{144} [\frac{t}{2}  - [\frac{1}{2} *  \frac{sin(240 \pi t)}{240 \pi} ] ]\left  | T} \atop {0}} \right.

=>  U =  \frac{110^2}{144} [\frac{t}{2}  - [\frac{1}{2} *  \frac{sin(240 \pi t)}{240 \pi} ] ]\left  | 18000} \atop {0}} \right.

U =  \frac{110^2}{144} [\frac{18000}{2}  - [\frac{1}{2} *  \frac{sin(240 \pi (18000))}{240 \pi} ] ]

=>   U  =  7.563 *10^{5} \  J

A ball is thrown straight up. What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point in its path?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

b. v = 0, a = 9.8 m/s² down.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The acceleration of gravity is always directed to the ground (down) and, near the surface of the earth, has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Since the answer "b" is the only option with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s² directed downwards, that would solve the exercise. But why is the velocity zero at the highest point?

Let´s take a look at the height function:

h(t) = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 g · t²

Where

h0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity

Notice that the function is a negative parabola if we consider downward as negative (in that case "g" would be negative). Then, the function has a maximum (the highest point) at the vertex of the parabola. At the maximum point, the slope of the tangent line to the function is zero, because the tangent line is horizontal at a maximum point. The slope of the tangent line to the function is the rate of change of height with respect to time, i.e, the velocity. Then, the velocity is zero at the maximum height.

Another way to see it (without calculus):

When the ball is going up, the velocity vector points up and the velocity is positive. After reaching the maximum height, the velocity vector points down and is negative (the ball starts to fall). At the maximum height, the velocity vector changed its direction from positive to negative, then at that point, the velocity vector has to be zero.
