Answer:

4765 Km

Explanation:

The center of mass for a two point system is given by the formula:

CM= (mass earth x distance of cm to centre of earth + mass moon x distance of cm to moon ) / mass earth + mass moon

mass earth: 5.97 x 10^24 Kg

mass moon: 7.35 x 10^22 Kg

distance earth-moon = 384,400 Km : 3.84 x 10^6 m

The center of mass will be located between the line distance joining the earth moon but since we are told to calculate relative to the center of earth ,the distance from earth to the center of mass is cero making our calculations easier.

CM = (5.97 x 10 ^24 x 0 + 7.35 x 10 ^22 x 3.84 x 10 ^6 )/ (5.97 x 10^24 + 7.35 x 10^22)

CM= 7.35 x 10 ^22 x 3.84 x 10 ^6/ ( 6.04 x 10 ^24) m = 4.765 x 10 ^6 m = 4765 Km

Answer:

$W_n_e_t=7.648512 \approx 7.6J$

$K.E=0.8J$

$v=0.7844645406 \approx 0.78m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of pitcher $M= 2.6kg$

Force on pitcher $f=8.8N$

Distance traveled $48cm=>0.48m$

Coefficient of friction $\mu=0.28$

a)Generally frictional force is mathematically given by

$F=\mu N$

$F=0.28*2.6*9.8$

$F=7.1344N$

Generally work done on the pitcher is mathematically given as

$W_n_e_t=W_f+W_F$

$W_f=8.8*0.48=>4.224N\\W_F=7.1344*0.48=>3.424512N$

$W_n_e_t=4.224-3.424512$

$W_n_e_t=0.799488\approx 0.8J$

b)Generally K.E can be given mathematically as

$K.E= W_n_e_t$

Therefore

$K.E=0.8J$

c)Generally the equation for kinetic energy is mathematically represented by

$K.E=1/2mv^2$

$0.8=1/2mv^2$

Velocity as subject

$v=\sqrt{\frac{K.E*2}{m} }$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{0.8*2}{2.6} }$

$v=0.7844645406 \approx 0.78m/s$

What is happening in the diagram?

pishuonlain [190]

In the diagram, the ship send sound(?) waves to the water, to determine if there is anything there. If there is something like a sunken ship shown in the diagram, the waves return in a shorter time hence you can understand if theres something or now. This is the principle of radars and sonars.
