Answer:

1.11 x 10^6 m

Explanation:

mass of Pluto, M = 1.1 x 10^22 kg

acceleration due to gravity on Pluto, g = 0.59 m/s²

let R be the radius of the Pluto and G is the universal gravitational constant.

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm²/kg²

use the formula for the acceleration due to gravity

g = \frac{GM}{R^{2}}

R = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{g}}

R = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.1\times 10^{22}}{0.59}}

R = 1.11 x 10^6 m

Thus, the radius of the Pluto is 1.11 x 10^6 m.

The distance between adjacent nodes in a standing wave pattern in a length of string is 25.0 cm:A. What is the wavelength of wav
mina [271]

A) 50 cm

B) 10000 cm/s

Explanation

Step 1

A)

If you know the distance between nodes and antinodes then use this equation:

\begin{gathered} \frac{\lambda}{2}=D \\ \text{where}\lambda\text{ is the wavelength} \\ D\text{ is the distance betw}een\text{ nodes} \end{gathered}

then, let

D=\text{ 25 cm }

now, replace to find the wavelength

\begin{gathered} \frac{\lambda}{2}=25 \\ \text{Multiply both sides by 2} \\ \frac{\lambda}{2}\cdot2=25\cdot2 \\ \lambda=50\text{ Cm} \end{gathered}

so, the wavelength is

A) 50 cm

Step 2

The speed of a wave can be found using the equation

v=\lambda f

or velocity = wavelength x frequency,

then,let

\begin{gathered} \lambda=50\text{ cm} \\ f=200\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}

replace and evaluate

\begin{gathered} v=\lambda f \\ v=50\text{ cm }\cdot200\text{ HZ} \\ v=10000\text{ }\frac{\text{cm}}{s} \end{gathered}

so

B) 10000 cm/s

I hope this helps you

A 60 kg acrobat is in the middle of a 10 m long tightrope. The center of the rope dropped 30 cm in relation to the ends that are
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The tension in each half of the rope, is approximately 4,908.8 N

Explanation:

The mass of the acrobat, m = 60 kg

The length of the rope, l = 10 m

The extent by which the center dropped = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Let, 'T' represent the tension in each half of the rope

Weight, W = Mass, m × The acceleration due to gravity, g

∴ W = m × g

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The weight of the acrobat, W = 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 588 N

The angle the dropped rope makes with the horizontal, θ is given as follows;

θ = arctan((0.3 m)/(5 m)) = arctan(0.06) ≈ 3.434°

At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces, \Sigma F_y = 0

The vertical component of the tension, T_y, in each half of the rope is given as follows;

T_y = T × sin(θ)

∴ \Sigma F_y = W + T × sin(θ) + T × sin(θ) = W + 2 × T × sin(θ)

Plugging in the values, with θ = arctan(0.06) for accuracy, we get;

588 N + 2 × T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 0

∴ 2 × -T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 588 N

-T= 588 N/(2 × sin(arctan(0.06)) = 4,908.81208 N ≈ 4,908.8 N

The tension in each half of the rope, T ≈ 4,908.8 N.

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck
Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing}) where M_{truck} is the mass of the truck, V_{truck} is velocity of the truck, V_{common} is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and M_{standing} is the mass of the standing truck

Making V_{truck} the subject we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}

Substituting M_{truck} as 25000 Kg, V_{common} as 22.3 m/s, M_{standing} as 2000 Kg we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s
