Answer:

True

Explanation:

Alcohol and drugs including cannabis and cocaine increases the time it takes to process information. A driver who is under the influence of drink or drugs could take a few extra vital seconds to spot a hazard such as a pedestrian crossing the road and apply the brakes.

A 4000 kg satellite is placed 2.60 x 10^6 m above the surface of the Earth.

mash [69]

a) The acceleration of gravity is $4.96 m/s^2$

b) The critical velocity is 6668 m/s (24,006 km/h)

c) The period of the orbit is 8452 s

d) The satellite completes 10.2 orbits per day

e) The escape velocity of the satellite is 9430 m/s

f) The escape velocity of the rocket is 11,191 m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity for an object near a planet is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

h is the height above the surface

In this problem,

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius)

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$ (altitude of the satellite)

Substituting,

$g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)^2}=4.96 m/s^2$

The critical velocity for a satellite orbiting around a planet is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

where we have again:

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius)

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$ (altitude of the satellite)

Substituting,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}}=6668 m/s$

Converting into km/h,

$v=6668 m/s \cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1000 m/km}=24,006 km/h$

The period of the orbit is given by the circumference of the orbit divided by the velocity:

$T=\frac{2\pi (R+h)}{v}$

where

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$

v = 6668 m/s

Substituting,

$T=\frac{2\pi (6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}{6668}=8452 s$

One day consists of:

$t = 24 \frac{hours}{day} \cdot 60 \frac{min}{hours} \cdot 60 \frac{s}{min}=86400 s$

While the period of the orbit is

T = 8452 s

So, the number of orbits completed by the satellite in one day is

$n=\frac{t}{T}=\frac{86400}{8452}=10.2$

The escape velocity for an object in the gravitational field of a planet is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$

where here we have:

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$

Substituting, we find

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}}=9430 m/s$

We can apply again the formula to find the escape velocity for the rocket:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$

Where this time we have:

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

$h=0$ , because the rocket is located at the Earth's surface, so its altitude is zero.

And substituting,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)}}=11,191 m/s$

A jet aircraft is traveling at 262 m/s in hor-

NeTakaya

Solution :

Speed of the air craft, $S_a$ = 262 m/s

Fuel burns at the rate of, $S_b$ = 3.92 kg/s

Rate at which the engine takes in air, $S_{air}$ = 85.9 kg/s

Speed of the exhaust gas that are ejected relative to the aircraft, $S_{exh}$ =921 m/s

Therefore, the upward thrust of the jet engine is given by

$F=S_{air}(S_{exh}-S_a)+(S_b \times S_{exh})$

F = 85.9(921 - 262) + (3.92 x 921)

= 4862635.79 + 3610.32

= $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$

Therefore thrust of the jet engine is $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$ .

A 20-kg child running at 1.4 m/s jumps onto a playground merry-go-round that has mass 180 kg and radius 1.6m. She is moving tang

Dominik [7]

Answer:

ωf = 0.16 rad/s

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of the child = mr² = 20(1.6²) = 51.2 kg•m²

Moment of Inertia of the MGR = ½mr² = ½(180)1.6² = 230.4 kg•m²

(ASSUMING it is a uniform disk)

Initial angular momentum of the child = Iω = I(v/r) = 51.2(1.4/1.6) = 44.8 kg•m²/s

Conservation of angular momentum

44.8 = (51.2 + 230.4)ωf

ωf = 0.15909090...
