Answer

Hi,

The forces are; weight (gravity), Normal/centripetal force and friction. Force due to gravity is constant where as friction and centripetal are not.

Explanation

Weight is constant, given by the force of gravity on the object. The centripetal force is a function of the angles occurring between the velocity vector and the weight vector that is at right angle with the perpendicular line drawn from the surface. Friction is a function of the centripetal force thus it also varies.

Hope this helps!

Weight on planet Mars ​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Mars: 0.38

weight = mass x surface gravity

multiplying your weight on Earth by the number above will give you your weight on the surface of Mars

If you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg.) on Earth, you would weigh 57 lbs. (26 kg.) on Mars

Consider the points below. P(1, 0, 1), Q(−2, 1, 4), R(6, 2, 7) (a) Find a nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane through the poi
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) (0, -33, 12)

b) area of the triangle : 17.55 units of area

Explanation:

<h2>a) </h2>

We know that the cross product of linearly independent vectors \vec{A} and \vec{B} gives us a nonzero, orthogonal to both, vector. So, if we can find two linearly independent vectors on the plane through the points P, Q, and R, we can use the cross product to obtain the answer to point a.

Luckily for us, we know that vectors \vec{A} = \vec{P}-\vec{Q} and \vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} are living in the plane through the points P, Q, and R, and are linearly independent.

We know that they are linearly independent, cause to have one, and only one, plane through points P Q and R, this points must be linearly independent (as the dimension of a plane subspace is 3).

If they weren't linearly independent, we will obtain vector zero as the result of the cross product.

So, for our problem:

\vec{A} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{A} = (1,0,1) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{A} = (1 +2,0-1,1-4)\\\\\vec{A} = (3,-1,-3)

\vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{B} = (6,2,7) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{B} = (6 +2,2-1,7-4)\\\\\vec{B} = (8,1,3)

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = (A_y B_z - B_y A_z) \  \hat{i} - ( A_x B_z-B_xA_z) \ \hat{j} + (A_x B_y - B_x A_y ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( (-1) * 3 - 1 * (-3) ) \  \hat{i} - ( 3 * 3 - 8 * (-3)) \ \hat{j} + (3 * 1 - 8 * (-1) ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( - 3 + 3 ) \  \hat{i} - ( 9 + 24 ) \ \hat{j} + (3 + 8 ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = 0 \  \hat{i} - 33 \ \hat{j} + 12 \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} =(0, -33, 12)

<h2>B)</h2>

We know that \vec{A} and \vec{B} are two sides of the triangle, and we also know that we can use the magnitude of the cross product to find the area of the triangle:

|\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} | = 2 * area_{triangle}

so:

\sqrt{(-33)^2 + (12)^2} = 2 * area_{triangle}

\sqrt{1233} = 2 * area_{triangle}

35.114= 2 * area_{triangle}

17.55 \ units \  of \ area =  area_{triangle}

Troyanec [42]

Impulse = Change in momentum.  
The ball was moving with a momentum of 0.45 * 22 = 9.9  
The ball comes to rest in the receivers arm; this means the ball's final velocity = 0. So mv2 = 0.45 * 0  
The magnitude of the impact is just the change in momentum. 9.9 - (0.45 * 0) = 9.9

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

At some distance from the Earth the force of attraction due to moon is balanced by the force due to Moon

so we will have

\frac{GM_em}{r^2} = \frac{GM_m}{(d-r)^2}

now we have

\frac{d - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{M_m}{M_e}}

\frac{3.844\times 10^8 - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{7.36 \times 10^{22}}{5.9742\times 10^{24}}}

so we will have

r = 3.46 \times 10^8 m

Now by energy conservation

-\frac{GM_e}{R_e} - \frac{GM_m}{d - (R_e + R_m)} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -\frac{GM_e}{r} - \frac{GM_m}{d - r}

-6.26 \times 10^{8} - 13046 + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -1.15 \times 10^6 - 1.28 \times 10^5

v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s
