(a) Suppose that your measured weight at the equator is one-half your measured weight at the pole on a planet whose mass and dia

meter are equal to those of Earth. What is the rotational period of the planet?

Answer:

7160.2812 s or 1.988 hours

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

R = Radius of Earth = $6.37\times 10^{6}\ m$

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$\omega$ = Angular speed

Force at equator would be

$F_e=m(g-\omega^2R)$

Force at pole

$F_p=mg$

From the question

$F_e=\dfrac{1}{2}F_p\\\Rightarrow m(g-\omega^2R)=\dfrac{1}{2}F_p\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{2R}}$

Time period is given by

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{2R}{g}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.37\times 10^6}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow T=7160.2812\ s=1.988\ hours$

The rotational period of the planet is 7160.2812 s or 1.988 hours

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

41.41 m

Explanation:

When force F is applied on an object of mass m for time t and velocity v₁ is created

F X t = mv₁

F = 95 N , t = .53 s, m = 655 kg

95 x .53 = 655 x v₁

v₁ = .0768 m/s

Applying conservation of momentum on man and satellite

m₁ v₁ = m₂v₂

655 x .0768 = 82 xv₂

v₂ = .6134 m/s

their relative velocity

= .6134 + .0768

= .6902 ( they are in opposite direction )

After 60 second distance between them

= 60 x .6902 m

= 41.41 m

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be

professor190 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the surface, volume and error through the differentiation of the formulas given for the calculation of these values in a circle. Our values given at the beginning are

$\phi = 76cm$

$Error (dr) = 0.5cm$

The radius then would be

$\phi = 2\pi r \\76cm = 2\pi r\\r = \frac{38}{\pi} cm$

And

$\frac{d\phi}{dr} = 2\pi \\d\phi = 2\pi dr \\0.5 = 2\pi dr$

PART A ) For the Surface Area we have that,

$A = 4\pi r^2 \\A = 4\pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^2\\A = \frac{5776}{\pi}$

Deriving we have that the change in the Area is equivalent to the maximum error, therefore

$\frac{dA}{dr} = 4\pi (2r) \\dA = 4r (2\pi dr)$

Maximum error:

$dA = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})(0.5)$

$dA = \frac{76}{\pi}cm^2$

The relative error is that between the value of the Area and the maximum error, therefore:

$\frac{dA}{A} = \frac{\frac{76}{\pi}}{\frac{5776}{\pi}}$

$\frac{dA}{A} = 0.01315 = 1.31\%$

PART B) For the volume we repeat the same process but now with the formula for the calculation of the volume in a sphere, so

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^3$

$V = \frac{219488}{3\pi^2}$

Therefore the Maximum Error would be,

$\frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{4}{3} 3\pi r^2$

$dV = 2r^2 (2\pi dr)$

$dV = 4r^2 (\pi dr)$

Replacing the value for the radius

$dV = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})^2(0.5)$

$dV = \frac{2888}{\pi^2} cm^3$

And the relative Error

$\frac{dV}{V} = \frac{ \frac{2888}{\pi^2}}{ \frac{219488}{3\pi^2} }$

$\frac{dV}{V} = 0.03947$

$\frac{dV}{V} = 3.947\%$

A 0.9 µF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 10.0 V. The wires connecting the capacitor to the battery are then di

jeyben [28]

Answer:

3.6μF

Explanation:

The charge on the capacitor is defined by the formula

q = CV

because the charge will be conserved

q₁ = C₁V₂

q₂ = C₂V₂ where C₂ V₂ represent the charge on the newly connected capacitor and the voltage drop across the two capacitor will be the same

q = q₁ + q₂ = C₁V₂ + C₂V₂

CV = CV₂ + C₂V₂

CV - CV₂ = C₂V₂

C ( V - V₂) = C₂V₂

C ( V/ V₂ - V₂ /V₂) = C₂

C₂ = 0.9 ( 10 /2) - 1) = 0.9( 5 - 1) = 3.6μF

The decimal equivalent for meter is

USPshnik [31]

m =dm ______ 10.000

Meters

The metre is a unit of length in the metric system, and is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).

As the base unit of length in the SI and other m.k.s. systems (based around metres, kilograms and seconds) the metres is used to help derive other units of measurement such as the newton, for force.
