Answer:

Distance =  345719139.4[m]; acceleration = 3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.

In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m

r_{e} = distance earth to the astronaut [m].\\r_{m} = distance moon to the astronaut [m]\\r_{t} = total distance = 3.84*10^8[m]

Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.

Mathematically this equals:

F_{e} = F_{m}\\F_{e} =G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a}}{r_{e}^{2}  } \\

F_{m} =G*\frac{m_{m}*m_{a}  }{r_{m} ^{2} } \\where:\\G = gravity constant = 6.67*10^{-11}[\frac{N*m^{2} }{kg^{2} } ] \\m_{e}= earth's mass = 5.98*10^{24}[kg]\\ m_{a}= astronaut mass = 100[kg]\\m_{m}= moon's mass = 7.36*10^{22}[kg]

When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant

G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a} }{r_{e}^{2}  } = G*\frac{m_{m} *m_{a} }{r_{m}^{2}  }\\\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2}  } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2}  }

To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.

\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2}  } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} } \\\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(3.84*10^{8}-r_{m}  )^{2}  } = \frac{7.36*10^{22}  }{r_{m}^{2} }\\81.25*r_{m}^{2}=r_{m}^{2}-768*10^{6}* r_{m}+1.47*10^{17}  \\80.25*r_{m}^{2}+768*10^{6}* r_{m}-1.47*10^{17} =0

Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.

r_{m1,2}=\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c }  }{2*a}\\  where:\\a=80.25\\b=768*10^{6} \\c = -1.47*10^{17} \\replacing:\\r_{m1,2}=\frac{-768*10^{6}+- \sqrt{(768*10^{6})^{2}-4*80.25*(-1.47*10^{17}) }  }{2*80.25}\\\\r_{m1}= 38280860.6[m] \\r_{m2}=-2.97*10^{17} [m]

We work with positive value

rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]

<u>Second part</u>

<u />

The distance between the Earth and this point is calculated as follows:

re = 3.84 108 - 38280860.6 = 345719139.4[m]

Now the acceleration can be found as follows:

a = G*\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e} ^{2} } \\a = 6.67*10^{11} *\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(345.72*10^{6})^{2}  } \\a=3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]

When an electron falls from a higher to a lower energy level in an atom, the photon released has a wavelength of 121.6 nm. What
yarga [219]

Answer:

\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J

Explanation:

The energy difference between the energy levels involved in the transition of the electron is directly proportional to the frequency of the emitted photon:

\Delta E=h\nu(1)

Where h is the Planck constant. The photon's frequency is inversely proportional to its wavelegth:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}(2)

Here c is the speed of light. Replacing (2) in (1):

\Delta E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\Delta E=\frac{(6.63*10^{-34}J\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{121.6*10^{-9}m}\\\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J

The cabinet is mounted on coasters and has a mass of 45 kg. The casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating. The coeff
stira [4]

Answer:

the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the cabinet  m = 45 kg

coefficient of static friction μ =  0.30

A free flow body diagram illustrating what the question represents is attached in the file below;

The given condition from the question let us realize that ; the casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating.

Thus; considering the forces along the vertical axis ; we have :

\sum f_y =0

The upward force and the downward force is :

N_A+N_B = mg

where;

\mathbf { N_A  \ and  \ N_B} are the normal contact force at center point A and B respectively .

N_A+N_B = 45*9.8

N_A+N_B = 441    ------- equation (1)

Considering the forces on the horizontal axis:

\sum f_x = 0

F_A +F_B  = P

where ;

\mathbf{ F_A \ and \ F_B } are the static friction at center point A and B respectively.

which can be written also as:

\mu_s N_A + \mu_s N_B  = P

\mu_s( N_A +  N_B)  = P

replacing our value from equation (1)

P = 0.30 ( 441)    

P = 132.3 N

Thus; the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

b) Since the horizontal distance between the casters A and B is 480 mm; Then half the distance = 480 mm/2 = 240 mm = 0.24 cm

the largest value of "h" allowed for  the cabinet is not to tip over is calculated by determining the limiting condition  of the unbalanced torque whose effect is canceled by the normal reaction at N_A and it is shifted to N_B:  

Then:

\sum M _B = 0

P*h = mg*0.24

h =\frac{45*9.8*0.24}{132.3}

h = 0.8 m

Thus; the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

A racing car travels on a circular track of radius 158 m, moving with a constant linear speed of 19.1 m/s. Find its angular spee
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

\omega=0.12\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

In a uniform circular motion, since a complete revolution represents 2π radians, the angular velocity, which is defined as the angle rotated by a unit of time, is given by:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}(1)

Here T is the period, that is, the time taken to complete onee revolution:

T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}(2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{\frac{2\pi r}{v}}=\frac{v}{r}\\\omega=\frac{19.1\frac{m}{s}}{158m}\\\omega=0.12\frac{rad}{s}

Find the density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 500 atm if the density at the surface is 1100 kg/m^3 . Seawater ha
mixer [17]

The density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 500 atm is 1124kg/m^3

Explanation:

The relationship between bulk modulus and pressure is the following:

B=\rho_0 \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta \rho}

where

B is the bulk modulus

\rho_0 is the density at surface

\Delta p is the variation of pressure

\Delta \rho is the variation of density

In this problem, we have:

B=2.3\cdot 10^9 N/m^2 is the bulk modulus

\rho_0 =1100 kg/m^3

\Delta p = p-p_0 = 500 atm - 1 atm = 499 atm = 5.05\cdot 10^7 Pa is the change in pressure with respect to the surface (the pressure at the surface is 1 atm)

Therefore, we can find the density of the water where the pressure is 500 atm as follows:

\rho = \rho_0 + \Delta \rho = \rho_0+\frac{\rho_0 \Delta p}{B}=\rho_0 (1+\frac{\Delta p}{B})=(1100)(1+\frac{5.05\cdot 10^7}{2.3\cdot 10^9})=1124kg/m^3
