The radius of Earth is about 6450 km. A 7070 N spacecraft travels away from Earth. What is the weight of the spacecraft at a hei
Triss [41]

Answer:

(a) 1767.43 N

(b) 182.45 N

Explanation:

Radius of earth, R = 6450 km

Weight of person, W = 7070 N

mass of person, m = W / g = 7070 / 9.8 = 721.4 kg

(a) h = 6450 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+6450} \right )^2

g' = g / 4 = 9.8 / 4 = 2.45 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g' = 721.4 x 2.45

W' = 1767.43 N

(b) h = 33700 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+33700} \right )^2

g' = g x 0.0258 = 9.8 x 0.0258 = 0.253 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g'

W' = 721.4 x 0.253

W' = 182.45 N

A proton and an electron are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements mus
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Explanation:

The only force between the proton and the electron is electric

      Fe = k q1q2 / r2

      Fe = - k e2 / r2

We can see that it is an attractive force (negative sign)

The electric power energy is

       U = k q1 q2 / r

       U = -k e2 / r

 

The kinetic energy is

       K = ½ m v2

With the expressions for each term we can analyze the sentences :

Their electric potential energy increases. False,

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Kinetic energy decreases False

The acceleration decreases.  False, as the force increases so does the acceleration

A truck with 28-in.-diameter wheels is traveling at 50 mi/h. Find the angular speed of the wheels in rad/min, *hint convert mile
solong [7]

Answer:

Angular speed ω=3771.4 rad/min

Revolution=5921 rpm

Explanation:

Given data

d=28in\\r=d/2=28/2=14in\\v=50mi/hr

To find

Angular speed ω

Revolution per minute N

Solution

First we need to convert the speed of truck to inches per mile

as

1 mile=63360 inches

1 hour=60 minutes

so

v=(50*\frac{63360}{60} )\\v=52800in/min

Now to solve for angular speed ω by substituting the speed v and radius r in below equation

w=\frac{v}{r}\\ w=\frac{52800in/min}{14in}\\ w=3771.4rad/min

To solve for N(revolutions per minute) by substituting the angular speed ω in the following equation

N=\frac{w}{2\pi }\\ N=\frac{3771.4rad/min}{2\pi }\\ N=5921RPM
