Think about this hypothetical (not real) situation: Astronaut Dustin and Astronaut Barb are floating in space. The force of grav

ity between Astronaut Dustin and Planet Demi
120,265 Newtons. The force of gravity between Astronaut Barb and Planet Demi is 354,999 Newtons. What can you infer about the relative DISTANCE of each astronaut
from planet Demi? Explain your answer. ​

The distance between Dustin and the planet is larger than the distance between Barb and the planet

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between each astronaut and the planet is given by

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where :

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the astronaut

r is the separation between the astronaut and the planet

In this problem, we have:

  • The force of gravity between Dustin and the planet is 120,265 N
  • The force of gravity between Barb and the planet is 354,999 N

We see that the force exerted by the Planet on Barb is much greater than the force exerted by the planet on Dustin. Assuming that the mass of Dustin and Barb is similar, then we can say that the magnitude of the force of gravity depends mainly on the distance:

F=\frac{1}{r^2}

And since the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, this means that the distance between Dustin and the planet is larger than the distance between Barb and the planet.

Which of the following would most likely utilize a particulate control device?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Correct answer: D). All of the above The particulate control device is a device that is used for the separation of the material that is of a bigger size as compared to filter. In the factory smokestack, the particulate control device filters the particulate matter that is known to cause air pollution. In the vacuum cleaner, a fine dust particle is filtered out. In the laundry dryer, the water and dirt molecule is allowed to pass through it. Hence, all the options are correct.so therefore your answer would be all

What is the acceleration of an object that goes from 45m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= -7 \ m/s^2}}

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

a= \frac {v_f-v_i}{t}

The object accelerates <em>from</em> 45 meters per second <em>to </em>10 meters per second in 5 seconds. Therefore,

v_f=10 \ m/s \\v_i= 45 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s

Substitute the values into the formula.

a= \frac{ 10 \ m/s - 45 \ m/s}{5 \ s}

Solve the numerator.

a= \frac { -35 \ m/s}{5 \ s}

Divide.

a= -7 \ m/s/s

a= -7 \ m/s^2

The acceleration of the object is -7 meters per square second. The acceleration is negative because the object's velocity decreases and the object slows down.

Suppose you want to use this human engine to lift a 2.35 kg box from the floor to a tabletop 1.30 m above the floor. How much mu
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the box, m = 2.35 kg

It is lifted from the floor to a tabletop 1.30 m above the floor, h = 1.3 m

We need to find the increase the gravitational potential energy. Initial it will placed at ground i.e. its initial gravitational potential is equal to 0. The increase in the gravitational potential energy is given by :

U=mgh

U=2.35\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1.3\ m

U = 29.93 Joules

So, the increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
