The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation

In this problem, the first object has a mass of m_1=0.60 kg, while the second "object" is the Earth, with mass m_2=5.97 \cdot 10^{24}kg. The distance of the object from the Earth's center is r=1.3 \cdot 10^7 m; if we substitute these numbers into the equation, we find the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the mass of 0.60 kg:
F=G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(0.60 kg)(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(1.3 \cdot 10^7 m)^2}=  1.41 N

A certain x-ray tube requires a current of 7 mA at a voltage of 80 kV. The rate of energy dissipation is:
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

560 watts

The rate of energy dissipation is 560 W

Explanation:

Rate of energy dissipation is the rate of energy consumption in the x-ray tube.

P = VI

Given;

Voltage V = 80 kV = 80,000

Current I = 7mA = 0.007 A

Substituting the given values;

P = 80,000 V × 0.007A

P = 560 Joules per second

P = 560 watts

The rate of energy dissipation is 560 W

While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find th
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

v=3.47m/s

Explanation:

The speed is by definition the distance traveled divided over the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, this distance is the circumference of the wheel, so we have:

v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi r}{t}

where we have written the circumference in terms of its radius.

For our values we then obtain the value:

v=\frac{2\pi r}{t}=\frac{2\pi (16m)}{(29s)}=3.47m/s

Freight car A with a gross weight of 200,000 lbs is moving along the horizontal track in a switching yard at 4 mi/hr. Freight ca
zhenek [66]

Answer: a) 4.7 mi/hr.  b) 86,500 lbs. mi²/Hr²

Explanation:

As in any collision, under the assumption that no external forces exist during the very small collision time, momentum must be conserved.

If the collision is fully inelastic, both masses continue coupled each other as a single mass, with a single speed.

So, we can write the following:

p₁ = p₂ ⇒m₁.v₁ + m₂.v₂ = (m₁ + m₂). vf

Replacing by the values, and solving for vf, we get:

vf = (200,000 lbs. 4 mi/hr + 100,000 lbs. 6 mi/hr) / 300,000 lbs = 4.7 mi/hr

If the track is horizontal, this means that thre is no change in gravitational potential energy, so any loss of energy must be kinetic energy.

Before the collision, the total kinetic energy of the system was the following:

K₁ = 1/2 (m₁.v₁² + m₂.v₂²) = 3,400,000 lbs. mi² / hr²

After the collision, total kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 ((m₁ + m₂) vf²) = 3,313,500 lbs. mi²/hr²

So we have an Energy loss, equal to the difference between initial kinetic energy and final kinetic energy, as follows:

DE = K₁ - K₂ = 86,500 lbs. mi² / hr²

This loss is due to the impact, and is represented by the work done by friction forces (internal) during the impact.

In young’s double slit experiment, the measured fringe width is 0.5 mm for a Sodium light of 589 nm at a distance of 1.5 m. A br
Levart [38]

Answer:

(A).  The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe width d = 0.5 mm

Wavelength = 589 nm

Distance of screen and slit D = 1.5 m

Distance of bright fringe y = 1 cm

(A) We need to calculate the order of the bright fringe

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{dy}{mD}

m=\dfrac{d y}{\lambda D}

Put the value into the formula

m=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{589\times10^{-9}\times1.5}

m=5.65 = 6

(B). We need to calculate the width of the bright fringe

Using formula of width of fringe

\beta=\dfrac{yd}{D}

Put the value in to the formula

\beta=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{1.5}

\beta=3.33\times10^{-6}\ m

\beta=3.33\ \mu m

Hence, (A).  The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.
