What force does it take to accelerate a 7.2 kg object 3.0 m/s^2.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

<h2>21.6 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 7.2 × 3 = 21.6

We have the final answer as

<h3>21.6 N</h3>

Answer:

Explanation: El músculo esquelético está formado por fibras musculares, rodeadas de una capa de tejido conjuntivo, denominada endomisio. Las fibras se reúnen en fascículos primarios, que también están rodeados por otra capa de tejido conjuntivo, esta vez, más grueso, denominada perimisio.

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet. The planet has the same mass as Earth but has a

AVprozaik [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.

Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x $10^{24}$ Kg

Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?

By formula, g = $\frac{GM}{r^{2} }$

where g is the acceleration due to the gravity

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ $m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$

M is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Substituting the values, we get

g = $\frac{(6.67 * 10^{-11}) (5.972 * 10^{24}) }{5733^{2} }$

g = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$

the ratio of the energy per second radiated by the filament of a lamp at 250k to that radiated at 2000k, assuming the filament i

Naily [24]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}$

(b) P = 0.816 Watt

Explanation:

(a)

The power radiated from a black body is given by Stefan Boltzman Law:

$P = \sigma AT^4$

where,

P = Energy Radiated per Second = ?

σ = stefan boltzman constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ W/m².K⁴

T = Absolute Temperature

So the ratio of power at 250 K to the power at 2000 K is given as:

$\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=\frac{\sigma A(250)^4}{\sigma A(2000)^4}\\\\\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}$

(b)

Now, for 90% radiator blackbody at 2000 K:

$P = (0.9)(5.67\ x\ 10^{-8}\ W/m^2.K^4)(1\ x\ 10^{-6}\ m^2)(2000\ K)^4$

<u>P = 0.816 Watt</u>
