A) 0.189 N
The weight of the person on the asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the asteroid on the person, at a location on the surface of the asteroid:
where
G is the gravitational constant
8.7×10^13 kg is the mass of the asteroid
m = 130 kg is the mass of the man
R = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the radius of the asteroid
Substituting into the equation, we find
B) 2.41 m/s
In order to orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (r=R), the centripetal force that keeps the astronaut in orbit must be equal to the gravitational force acting on the astronaut:
where
v is the speed of the astronaut
Solving the formula for v, we find the minimum speed at which the astronaut should launch himself and then orbit the asteroid just above the surface:
Answer:
T = 480.2N
Explanation:
In order to find the required force, you take into account that the sum of forces must be equal to zero if the object has a constant speed.
The forces on the boxes are:
(1)
T: tension of the rope
M: mass of the boxes 0= 49kg
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
The pulley is frictionless, then, you can assume that the tension of the rope T, is equal to the force that the woman makes.
By using the equation (1) you obtain:
The woman needs to pull the rope at 480.2N
<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is: B. Kinetic energy
<h2>
Why?</h2>
Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.
The gravity acceleration is equal to 
, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.
We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

Answer:
2.5
Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by
where
k is the dielectric constant
is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric
In this problem,
is the capacitance of the capacitor in air
is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted
Solving the equation for k, we find
