To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to gravity as an expression of a celestial body, as well as the use of concepts such as centripetal acceleration, angular velocity and period.

PART A) The expression to find the acceleration of the earth due to the gravity of another celestial body as the Moon is given by the equation

g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

d = Distance

M = Mass

R_{CM} = Radius earth center of mass

PART B) Using the same expression previously defined we can find the acceleration of the moon on the earth like this,

g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}

g = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(7.35*10^{22})}{(3.84*10^8-4700*10^3)^2}

g = 3.4*10^{-5}m/s^2

PART C) Centripetal acceleration can be found throughout the period and angular velocity, that is

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

At the same time we have that centripetal acceleration is given as

a_c = \omega^2 r

Replacing

a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 r

a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{26.3d(\frac{86400s}{1days})})^2 (4700*10^3m)

a_c = 3.34*10^{-5}m/s^2

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 5.0 km/h
Ratling [72]

Answer

given,

time  = 10 s

ship's speed = 5 Km/h

F = m a

a is the acceleration and m is mass.

In the first case

F₁=m x a₁

where a₁ =  difference in velocity / time

F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.

Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278

Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s

a_1=\dfrac{1.39}{10}

a₁ = 0.139 m/s²

F₂ =m x a₂

F₃ = F₂ + F₁

Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278

Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s

a₃=Δv₂ / t

a_3=\dfrac{5.282}{10}

a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s

m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁

0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139

a₂=0.3892 m²/s

F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)

F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)

F₂/F₁

ratio = \dfrac{0.3892}{0.139}

ratio = 2.8

What is the force on a 1000kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/sec^2
Advocard [28]
From Newton's second law, we know F = ma, where a is the acceleration and m is the mass in kg.

F = 1000kg * 9.8m/s = 9800N

F = 9800 N

Hope this helps!

How are step up transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents

Explanation:

A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.

The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:

\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}

where

Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil

Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil

There are two types of transformers:

- Step-up transformers: these have N_s > N_p, so that V_s > V_p, which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.

- Step-down transformers: these have N_s < N_p, so that V_s < V_p, which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)
