           Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

                     = (1,000 kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

                     =      9,800 newtons

Why are you still having a problem with      F = M · a  ?

A woman with a mass of 52.0 kg is standing on the rim of a large disk that is rotating at an angular velocity of 0.470 rev/s abo
Charra [1.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the woman, m₁ = 52 kg

Angular velocity, \omega=0.47\ rev/s=2.95\ rad/s

Mass of disk, m₂ = 118 kg

Radius of the disk, r = 3.9 m

The moment of inertia of woman which is standing at the rim of a large disk is :

I={m_1r^2}

I={52\times 3.9^2}

I₁ = 790.92 kg-m²

The moment of inertia of of the disk about an axis through its center is given by :

I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{2}

I_2=\dfrac{118\times (3.9)^2}{2}

I₂ =897.39 kg-m²

Total moment of inertia of the system is given by :

I=I_1+I_2

I=790.92+897.39

I = 1688.31 kg-m²

The angular momentum of the system is :

L=I\times \omega

L=1688.31 \times 2.95

L=4980.5\ kg-m^2/s

So, the total angular momentum of the system is 4980.5 kg-m²/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Imagine a landing craft approaching the surface of Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons. If the engine provides an upward force (thr
nordsb [41]

Answer:

W=3456 N

Explanation:

Force 1 F_1=3456

Force 2 F_2=2333N

Acceleration at stage 2 a_2=0.39

Generally the weight of the Craft W is given as

W= upward force(thrust)

Therefore

W=3456 N

Describe the sun. Include its structure (layers), relative size, location, and effects of its magnetic field. Where does the sun
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: Nuclear fusion.

Explanation: The sun is a medium-sized star, its radius is  695.510 km and its mass is equivalent to that obtained by bringing together about 110 planets equal to Earth (6371 km is its radius).

It has six layers: The core, the radioactive zone, the convective zone, the photosphere, the chromosphere and the corona.

Magnetic field disruptions near active regions can generate strong explosions in the sun such as sun flashes and coronal mass ejections. The degree of complexity of the sun´s magnetic field increases and decreases with the course of each sunspot cycle.  

Sir Arthur Eddington was the first to evaluate all the data and dared to conjecture that nuclear fusion, the process that creates heavy elements from the fusion of lighter ones, could be responsible for the great production of the sun´s energy; this process make the sun´s energy was taken for the earth and the planet get back to the sun recycled energy. The sun has a very large and complex magnetic field; the average magnetic field of the sun is approximately 1 Gauss, almost twice as strong as the average magnetic field of the Earth´s surface (approximately 0.5 Gauss). Because the surface of the sun is more than 12.000 times larger than the Earth, the overall influence of the sun´s magnetic field is immensely large.
