a man hits a gold ball (0.205kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20.0 m/s squared. what is the amount of force acted on the ball

Schach [20]

Answer:

<h2>4.1 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 0.205 × 20

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.1 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir

Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.

<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it. </u>

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

The average speed between earth and the sun is 1.50 x10^8 km. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometer

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The average speed of the earth in its orbit is $29.86km/s$

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is $1.50x10^{8} km$ .

The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (1)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle

( $r = 1.50x10^{8}km$ ) instead of an ellipse.

It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.

Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:

$365.25d . \frac{86400s}{1d}$ ⇒ $31557600s$

Then, equation 1 can be used:

$v = \frac{2 \pi (1.50x10^{8}km)}{31557600s}$

$v = 29.86km/s$

A woman with a mass of 52.0 kg is standing on the rim of a large disk that is rotating at an angular velocity of 0.470 rev/s abo

Charra [1.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the woman, m₁ = 52 kg

Angular velocity, $\omega=0.47\ rev/s=2.95\ rad/s$

Mass of disk, m₂ = 118 kg

Radius of the disk, r = 3.9 m

The moment of inertia of woman which is standing at the rim of a large disk is :

$I={m_1r^2}$

$I={52\times 3.9^2}$

I₁ = 790.92 kg-m²

The moment of inertia of of the disk about an axis through its center is given by :

$I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{2}$

$I_2=\dfrac{118\times (3.9)^2}{2}$

I₂ =897.39 kg-m²

Total moment of inertia of the system is given by :

$I=I_1+I_2$

$I=790.92+897.39$

I = 1688.31 kg-m²

The angular momentum of the system is :

$L=I\times \omega$

$L=1688.31 \times 2.95$

$L=4980.5\ kg-m^2/s$

So, the total angular momentum of the system is 4980.5 kg-m²/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
