Answer:

The answer is 8.44*10^9 Newton

Explanation:

The equation for universal gravitation is:

F=G*m_{1}*m_{2}/r^{2}

Where:

G= 6.674×10^−11 N · (m/kg)^2

M(earth)=5.972 × 10^24 kg

M(asteroid)=5.0×10^13 kg

r=1.537*10^9 m (Calculated from average distance between moon and earth)

The force will be:

F=6.674*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24}*5*10^{13}/(1.537*10^9)^2\\F=8.44*10^9

8.44*10^9 Newton

Match the following:
joja [24]

Explanation:

1. study of conversion of heat to mechanics → thermodynamics

A branch of physical science which deals with heat and other forms of energy.

2. The Law of Conservation of Energy  → first Law of Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created nor be destroyed. According to first law of thermodynamics total energy of the system is always constant.

3. Result of applied energy  → work

Work is the way of system to release its energy.

4. Principle that states that in any energy transformation some energy is dissipated as heat  → Second Law of Thermodynamics

5. energy of motion  → kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its motion.

6. work/displacement  → force

Work is product of force and displacement.

Work=Force \times displacement

Force=\frac{Work}{displacement}

7. power · time  → energy

Power is defined energy per unit time.

Power=\frac{Energy}{Time}

Energy=Power\times Time

8. Device that transforms heat energy into mechanical energy →  heat engine

heat engine is a device which converts the heat energy which is released due to combustion of fuel into a useful work that is mechanical energy.

9 . Energy due to position  → potential energy

Potential energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its position.

10. efficiency of a heat engine unit of heat  → calorie

11. Measure of molecular motion  → Temperature

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

Greater the motion more will be the kinetic energy and with more will be the temperature.

12. Heat given off by a liquid with no change in temperature  → latent heat of fusion

Latent heat of fusion is defined as heat released by 1 mole of substance when it under goes phase change that is from solid to liquid.

13. Motion within solids  → vibrational motion

Vibrational motion is the motion in which particle oscillates from its mean position.

14. Phase of matter on the sun → plasma

Plasma is hot ionized gas with equal number of positive and negative ions. Due to high temperature of sun most the gas are in the plasma state.

How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer
frosja888 [35]

We want to find how much momentum the dumbbell has at the moment it strikes the floor. Let's use this kinematics equation:

Vf² = Vi² + 2ad

Vf is the final velocity of the dumbbell, Vi is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and d is the height of its fall.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (dumbbell starts falling from rest)

a = 10m/s² (we'll treat downward motion as positive, this doesn't affect the result as long as we keep this in mind)

d = 80×10⁻²m

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf² = 2(10)(80×10⁻²)

Vf = ±4m/s

Reject the negative root.

Vf = 4m/s

The momentum of the dumbbell is given by:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

m = 10kg

v = 4m/s (from previous calculation)

Plug in the values and solve for p:

p = 10(4)

p = 40kg×m/s

49. A block is pushed across a horizontal surface with a
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

(a) 37.5 kg

(b) 4

Explanation:

Force, F = 150 N

kinetic friction coefficient = 0.15

(a) acceleration, a = 2.53 m/s^2

According to the newton's second law

Net force = mass x acceleration

F - friction force = m a

150 - 0.15 x m g = m a

150 = m (2.53 + 0.15 x 9.8)

m = 37.5 kg

(b) As the block moves with the constant speed so the applied force becomes the friction force.

F = \mu m g \\\\150 = \mu\times 37.5\\\\\mu = 4
