Item 16 The weight w (in pounds) of an object varies inversely with the square of the distance d (in miles) of the object from t

he center of Earth. At sea level (3978 miles from the center of Earth), an astronaut weighs 210 pounds. How much does the astronaut weigh 200 miles above sea level

Answer:

190.3759 pounds

Explanation:

If the astronaut weighs 210 pounds when he is at a distance of 3978 miles from the Earth's center, then he will weigh

210 [3978 / (3978 + 200) ]² = 190.3759 pounds

at an altitude of 200 km.

Calculate the energy gained by an ice block in the following experiment.
MAXImum [283]

The heat is exchanged when two different temperature objects come in contact. The energy gained by an ice block is 2.3 Joules.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of the object.

A 7g block of ice was added to a coffee cup full of 103.4 grams of water. The water had an initial temperature T₁ = 24.5 C and a final temperature T₂ = 19.2 C after all the ice had melted.

Heat lost by water = Heat gained by ice

Qgain = ms(T₂ -T₁ )

Substituting the value for mass of water m =103.4 g= 0.1034 kg , specific heat of water s = 4.18 kJ/kg and temperature values, we get

Qgain = 0.1034 x 4.18 x (24.5 - 19.2)

Qgain = 2.3 Joules

Thus, the energy gained by an ice block is 2.3 Joules.

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother's house. On the way to Grandmother's, Julie drives half the distance at 30.0 mph and half the
salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance to grandmother's house=100 mi

it is given that during return trip Julie spend equal time driving with speed 30 mph and 70 mph

Let Julie travel x mi with 30 mph and 100-x with 70 mph

\frac{x}{30}=\frac{100-x}{70}

x=30 mi

Therefore

Julie's Average speed on the way to Grandmother's house=\frac{100}{\frac{50}{30}+\frac{50}{70}}

=42 mph

On return trip

=\frac{100}{2\frac{30}{30}}=50 mph
