Answer:

F = 0.00156[N]

Explanation:

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

$F=G*\frac{m_{1} *m_{2} }{r^{2} } \\$

Where:

F = gravitational force between the moon and Ellen; units [Newtos] or [N]

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1= Ellen's mass [kg]

m2= Moon's mass [kg]

r = distance from the moon to the earth [meters] or [m].

Data:

G = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1 = 47 [kg]

m2 = 7.35 * 10^22 [kg]

r = 3.84 * 10^8 [m]

$F=6.67*10^{-11} * \frac{47*7.35*10^{22} }{(3.84*10^8)^{2} }\\ F= 0.00156 [N]$

This force is very small compare with the force exerted by the earth to Ellen's body. That is the reason that her body does not float away.

If the cold temperature reservoir of a Carnot engine is held at a constant 306 K, what temperature should the hot reservoir be k

Paraphin [41]

Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be:
η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th 
where 
Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and 
Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. 

In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K 
Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). 

Th = (Th - Tc) / η 
Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) 
Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K 

Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K 
Higher temperature is Th = 341 K

If a projectile travels in the air for 8 seconds when does a projectile reach its highest point

emmainna [20.7K]

Given

The projectile is in air for a time of t=8 sec

To find

The time it takes to reach the highest point

Explanation

A projectile moves up to the highest point and then again moves down following a parabolic path.

So it will reach the highest point at a time half the time it requires to follow teh parabolic path.

The time taken to reach the highest point is 4 sec

Conclusion

The time taken is 4 sec.

In midair an M = 145 kg bomb explodes into two pieces of m1 = 115 kg and another, respectively. Before the explosion, the bomb w

Daniel [21]

Answer:

$v_2=-133.17m/s$ , the minus meaning west.

Explanation:

We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before ( $p_i$ ) and after ( $p_f$ ) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.

Before the explosion we have $p_i=m_iv_i=Mv_i$ .

After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so $p_f=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$ .

These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.

Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:

$Mv_i=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$
