Mila [183]

Answer:

$v=6.65m/sec$

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that:

Mass $m=97.6$

Coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu k=0.555$

Generally the equation for Frictional force is mathematically given by

$F=\mu mg$

$F=0.555*97.6*9.8$

$F=531.388N$

Generally the Newton's equation for Acceleration due to Friction force is mathematically given by

$a_f=-\mu g$

$a_f=-0.555 *9.81$

$a_f=-54455m/sec^2$

Therefore

$v=u-at$

$v=0+5.45*1.22$

$v=6.65m/sec$

A father is pulling his child on a sled in the snow. According to Newton’s Third Law, the force the father exerts on the sled is

viktelen [127]

That is because there are other forces like the friction forces that apply differently on both of them. The frictional forces applied to the sled are smaller than they are on the father, for example, so it's possible for him to pull it.

Whenever two apollo astronauts were on the surface of the moon, a third astronaut orbited the moon. assume the orbit to be circu

almond37 [142]

Missing question:
"Determine (a) the astronaut’s orbital speed v and (b) the period of the orbit"

Solution

part a) The center of the orbit of the third astronaut is located at the center of the moon. This means that the radius of the orbit is the sum of the Moon's radius r0 and the altitude ( $h=430 km=4.3 \cdot 10^5 m$ ) of the orbit:
$r= r_0 + h=1.7 \cdot 10^6 m + 4.3 \cdot 10^5 m=2.13 \cdot 10^6 m$
This is a circular motion, where the centripetal acceleration is equal to the gravitational acceleration g at this altitude. The problem says that at this altitude, $g=1.08 m/s^2$ . So we can write
$g=a_c= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where $a_c$ is the centripetal acceleration and v is the speed of the astronaut. Re-arranging it we can find v:
$v= \sqrt{g r}= \sqrt{(1.08 m/s^2)(2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}=1517 m/s = 1.52 km/s$

part b) The orbit has a circumference of $2 \pi r$ , and the astronaut is covering it at a speed equal to v. Therefore, the period of the orbit is
$T= \frac{2 \pi r}{v} = \frac{2\pi (2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}{1517 m/s} =8818 s = 2.45 h$
So, the period of the orbit is 2.45 hours.
