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.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) Impulse is the same for both the objects

B) The higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

Explanation:

Part a)

The time of interaction of the two bodies i.e the hanging mass and the stick is same. Thus, force caused by dart on the block = force caused by block on the dart. Hence, impulse is the same for both the objects.  

Part B

The energy will be conserved in the entire reaction process

Hence, Kinetic energy = potential energy

0.5Mv^2 = gh(md+mb)

H is directly proportional to the square of speed.  

Hence, the higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2000-kg car (a large car) resti
Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

 

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

 

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

 

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

 

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

 

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

 

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N
