You are exploring a newly discovered planet. The radius of the planet is 7.50 × 107 m. You suspend a lead weight from the lower

end of a light string that is 4.00 m long and has mass 0.0280 kg. You measure that it takes 0.0645 s for a transverse pulse to travel from the lower end to the upper end of the string. On earth, for the same string and lead weight, it takes 0.0320 s for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the string. The weight of the string is small enough that its effect on the tension in the string can be neglected.Assuming that the mass of the planet is distributed with spherical symmetry, what is its mass?Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

M_{m}=2.31x10^{25} kg

Explanation:

The distance is the same in the experiment and using the differents times can find the velocities so

v_{1}=\frac{x}{t_{1}}=\frac{4m}{0.0645s}

v_{1}=62.01\frac{m}{s}

v_{2}=\frac{x}{t_{2}}=\frac{4m}{0.0320s}

v_{1}=125\frac{m}{s}

Now the experiment can use the equations of tension in simple pendulum

v=\sqrt{\frac{T*L}{m} }

T=\frac{v^2*m}{L}

T_{1}=\frac{v_{1}^2*0.0280kg}{4m}

T_{1}=\frac{62.01^2*0.0280kg}{4m}

T_{1}=26.91N

T_{2}=\frac{v_{2}^2*0.0280kg}{4m}

T_{12}=\frac{125^2*0.0280kg}{4m}

T_{2}=109.375 N

Now to determinate the mass using the formula of force of gravity

F_{g}=\frac{G*M_{m}}{r^2}

G=6.67x10^{-11} \frac{N*M^2}{kg^2}

Solve to Mm

M_{m}=\frac{F_{g}*r^2}{G}

M_{m}=\frac{\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}*(7.50x10^7m)^2}{6.67x10^{-11}\frac{N*m^2}{kg^2} }

M_{m}=\frac{0.273N*5.625x10^15m^2}{6.67x10^{-11}\frac{N*m^2}{kg^2}}

M_{m}=2.31x10^{25} kg

In a paragraph, answer these questions:
mixer [17]

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.The inputs of photosynthesis are light energy, and matter in the form of water absorbed through the roots, and carbon dioxide absorbed through the leaves.The main outputs are oxygen, which is released into the air, and glucose sugar (chemical energy), which is used to keep the plant alive.

An asteroid is moving along a straight line. A force acts along the displacement of the asteroid and slows it down. The asteroid
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a)

- 7.04\times10^{11} J

b)

5.03\times10^{5} N

Explanation:

a)

m = mass of the asteroid = 43000 kg

v_{o} = initial speed of asteroid = 7600 m/s

v = final speed of asteroid = 5000 m/s

W = Work done by the force on asteroid

Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem

W = (0.5) m (v^{2} - v_{o}^{2})\\W = (0.5) (43000) (5000^{2} - 7600^{2})\\W = - 7.04\times10^{11} J

b)

F = magnitude of force on asteroid

d = distance traveled by asteroid while it slows down = 1.4 x 10⁶ m

Work done by the force on the asteroid to slow it down is given as

W = - F d\\- 7.04\times10^{11} = - F (1.4\times10^{6})\\F = 5.03\times10^{5} N

The animation shows a ball which has been kicked upward at an angle. Run the animation to watch the motion of the ball. Click in
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball is  a_y =  - 0.3672 \ m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The maximum height the ball reachs is H_{max} =  42.24 \ m

       The horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball is v_{ix} = 5.57 \ m/s

       The vertical component of the initial velocity of the ball is v_{iy} = = 16.18 m/s

The vertically motion of the ball can be mathematically represented as

       v_{fy}^2  =  v_{iy} ^2 + 2 a_{y} H_{max}

Here the final velocity at the maximum height is zero so v_{fy} = 0 \ m/s

Making the acceleration a_y the subject we have

        a_y =  \frac{v_{iy} ^2}{2H_{max}}

substituting values

      a_y =  - \frac{5.57^2}{2* 42.24}

      a_y =  - 0.3672 \ m/s^2

The negative sign shows that the direction of the acceleration is in the negative y-axis
