Answer:

The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the object from the Earth's centre

We notice that:

- g does not depend on the mass of the object

- g is inversely proportional to r

This means that if the distance of the object from the Earth's centre increases, g decreases. So, the correct option is

The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

10 kJ

Explanation:

W = Fd

W = (μN)(vt)

W = μ(mg)vt

W = 0.7(42.9)(9.81)(9)(3.8)

W = 10,075.12506 J

W ≈ 10 kJ

At its Ames Research Center, NASA uses its large "20-G" centrifuge to test the effects of very large accelerations ("hypergravit
Over [174]

Answer:

v=32.9m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration needed to mantain a circular motion of radius r and speed v is given by the equation a=v^2/r

This is the centripetal acceleration. The person will feel what is called a centrifugal acceleration, of the same value, because he is not in an inertial frame (thus subject to fictitious forces, product of inertia).

We want to know the speed of his head when it is subject to 12.5 times the value of the acceleration of gravity while moving on a 8.84m radius circle, so we must do:

v=\sqrt{ar} = \sqrt{12.5gr}=\sqrt{(12.5)(9.8m/s)(8.84m)}=32.9m/s

Calculate a rate of cooling down of air from 80 C to 5C Show calculation. Give an answer in cubic meters per minute and cfm.
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of cooling of air

Initial temperature= 80°C

Final temperature = 5°C

We need to calculate

Using newton's law of cooling

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(T-T_{0})

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Where, dT=T_{1}-T_{2}

Here, T =\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}

T_{0} = 25°C  (surrounding temperature)

dt = 1 minute

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{80-5}{1}=c(\dfrac{85}{2}-25)

c=\dfrac{75}{17.5}

c=4.285\ cubic\ meter/minute

Hence, This is the required answer.

Helicopter blades withstand tremendous stresses. In addition to supporting the weight of a helicopter, they are spun at rapid ra
BabaBlast [244]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the helicopter, l = 3.1 m

The helicopter rotates, the length of helicopter will become the radius of circular path, r = 3.1 m

Angular speed of the helicopter, \omega=280\ rev/min=29.32\ rad/s

(a) The centripetal acceleration in terms of angular velocity is given by :

a_c=r\times \omega^2

a_c=3.1\times (29.32)^2

a_c=2664.95\ m/s^2

(b) Let v is the linear speed of the tip. The relation between the linear and angular speed is given by :

v=r\times \omega

v=3.1\times 29.32

v = 90.89 m/s

\dfrac{v_{tip}}{v_{sound}}=\dfrac{90.89}{340}=0.267

Hence, this is the required solution.
