Starting from rest, a 1.8 x 10^-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exe

rts an average upward force of 0.42 N on it. This force does +2.7 x 10^-4 J of work on the flea. (a) What is the flea's speed when it leaves the ground? (b) How far upward does the flea move while it is pushing off? Ignore both air resistance and the flea's weight.

Answer:

a)

1.73 m/s

b)

6.43 x 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

m = mass of the flea = 1.8 x 10⁻⁴ kg

v₀ = initial speed of the flea = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the flea

W = work done by the force on the flea = 2.7 x 10⁻⁴ J

Using work-change in kinetic energy, Work done is given as

W = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

Inserting the values

2.7 x 10⁻⁴ = (0.5) (1.8 x 10⁻⁴) (v² - 0²)

v = 1.73 m/s

b)

d = distance moved by the flea while pushing off

F = Upward force applied on the flea by ground = 0.42 N

Work done is also given as

W = F d

2.7 x 10⁻⁴ = (0.42) d

d = 6.43 x 10⁻⁴ m

What do halo stars do differently from disk stars?

VLD [36.1K]

Answer: They orbit the galactic center with many different inclinations, while disk stars all orbit in nearly the same plane. ... They have vertical motions out of the plane, making them appear to bob up and down, but they never get "too far" from the disk.

The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 3 months. The line

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Explanation:

given

T = 3months = 7.9 × 10⁶s

orbital speed = 88 × 10³m/s

V= 2πr÷T

∴ r = (V×T) ÷ 2π

r = (88km × 7.9 × 10⁶s) ÷ 2π

r = 1.10 × 10⁸km

using kepler's 3rd law

mass of both stars = (seperation diatance)³/(orbital speed)²

M₁ + M₂ = (2r)³/( $\frac{1}{4}$ year)²

= (1.06 × 10²⁵)/(6.2×10¹³)

1.71×10¹²kg

since M₁ = M₂ =1.71×10¹²kg ÷ 2

M₁ = M₂ = 8.55×10¹¹kg

PROBLEM 5 (Problem 4-145 in 7th edition) Consider a well-insulated horizontal rigid cylinder that is divided into two compartmen

kari74 [83]

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{83.8^{\circ} \ C}$ ".

Explanation:

Formula for calculating the mass in He:

$\to m = \frac{PV}{RT}\\$

$= \frac{500 \times 1}{ 2.0769 \times (40 + 273)}\\\\ = \frac{500 }{ 2.0769 \times 313}\\\\ = \frac{500 }{ 650.0697}\\\\= 0.76914 \ Kg$

Formula for calculating the mass in $N_2$ :

$\to m = \frac{PV}{RT}\\$

$= \frac{500 \times 1}{ 0.2968 \times (120+ 273)}\\\\ = \frac{500 }{ 0.2968 \times 393}\\\\ = \frac{500 }{ 116.6424}\\\\= 4.2866\ Kg$

by using the temperature balancing the equation:

$T' = \frac{mcT (He) + mcT ( N_2 )}{ mc (He) + mc ( N_2)}$

$= \frac{0.76914 \times 3.1156 \times 313 + 4.2866 \times 0.743 \times393}{ 0.76914 \times 3.1156 + 4.2866 \times 0.743} \\\\ = 357 \ \ K \approx 83.8^{\circ} \ C$

Sixty identical drippers, each with a hole of diameter 1.00 mm, are used to water a yard. If the water in the main pipe of diame

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a

$V = 5.30 *10^{-2} \ m^3$

b

$v_1 = 0.3127 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of identical drippers is n = 60

The diameter of each hole in each dripper is $d = 1.0 \ mm = 0.001 \ m$

The diameter of the main pipe is $d_m = 2.5 \ cm = 0.025 \ m$

The speed at which the water is flowing is $v = 3.00 \ cm/s = 0.03 \ m/s$

Generally the amount of water used in one hour = 3600 seconds is mathematically represented as

$V = A * v * 3600$

Here A is the area of the main pipe with value

$A = \pi * \frac{d^2}{4}$

=> $A = 3.142 * \frac{0.025^2}{4}$

=> $A = 0.0004909 \ m^2$

So

=> $V = 0.0004909 * 0.03 * 3600$

=> $V = 5.30 *10^{-2} \ m^3$

Generally the area of the drippers is mathematically represented as

$A_1= n * \pi \frac{d^2}{4}$

=> $A_1 = 60 * 3.142 * \frac{0.001 ^2}{4}$

=> $A_1 = 4.713 *10^{-5} \ m^2$

Generally from continuity equation we have that

$Av = A_1 v_1$

=> $0.0004909 * 0.03 = 4.713 *10^{-5} * v_1$

=> $v_1 = 0.3127 \ m/s$
