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.

A 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 17.5 N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wi
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

a

 A =  0.081 \  m

b

The value is  u =  0.2569 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass is  m  =  0.750 \ kg

   The spring constant is  k  =  17.5 \  N/m

    The instantaneous speed is  v  =  39.0 \  cm/s= 0.39 \  m/s

    The position consider is  x =  0.750A  meters from equilibrium point

   

Generally from the law of  energy conservation we have that

        The kinetic energy induced by the hammer  =  The energy stored in the spring

So

          \frac{1}{2} *  m * v^2  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  A^2

Here a is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations

=>      A =  \sqrt{\frac{m *  v^ 2 }{ k} }

=>      A =  \sqrt{\frac{0.750 *  0.39 ^ 2 }{17.5} }

=>       A =  0.081 \  m

Generally from the law of  energy conservation we have that

The kinetic energy  by the hammer  =  The energy stored in the spring at the point considered   +   The kinetic energy at the considered point

             \frac{1}{2}  * m *  v^2 = \frac{1}{2}  * k x^2 + \frac{1}{2}  * m *  u^2

=>          \frac{1}{2}  * 0.750 *  0.39^2 = \frac{1}{2}  * 17.5* 0.750(0.081 )^2 + \frac{1}{2}  * 0.750 *  u^2

=>          u =  0.2569 \  m/s

A 5kg ball is on top of the school building at a height of 40m above the ground.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A-Caclcuate the potential energy of the ball at that height

Explanation:

(a). Mass of the Body = 10 kg.

Height = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Using the Formula,Potential Energy = mgh

= 10 × 9.8 × 10 = 980 J.

(b). Now, By the law of the conservation of the Energy, Total amount of the energy of the system remains constant.

∴ Kinetic Energy before the body reaches the ground is equal to the Potential Energy at the height of 10 m.

∴ Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

(c). Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

Mass of the ball = 10 kg.

∵ K.E. = 1/2 × mv²

∴ 980 = 1/2 × 10 × v²

∴ v² = 980/5

⇒ v² = 196

∴ v = 14 m/s.
