Answer:

Option (c) u0

Explanation:

The escape velocity has a formula as:

V = √(2gR)

Where V is the escape velocity,

g is the acceleration due to gravity

R is the radius of the earth.

Now, from the question, we were told that the escape velocity for the rocket taking off from earth is u0 i.e

V(earth) = u0

V(earth) = √(2gR)

u0 = √(2gR) => For the earth

Now, let us calculate the escape velocity for the rocket taking off from planet x. This is illustrated below below:

g(planet x) = 2g (earth) => since the weight of the astronaut is twice as much on planet x as on earth

R(planet x) = 1/2 R(earth) => planet x has half the radius of earth

V(planet x) =?

Applying the formula V = √(2gR), the escape velocity on planet x is obtained as follow:

V(planet x) = √(2g(x) x R(x))

V(planet x) = √(2 x 2g x 1/2R)

V(planet x) = √(2 x g x R)

V(planet x) = √(2gR)

The expression obtained for the escape velocity on planet x i.e V(planet x) = √(2gR), is exactly the same as that obtained for the earth i.e V(earth) = √(2gR)

Therefore,

V(planet x) = V(earth) = √(2gR)

But from the question, V(earth) is u0

Therefore,

V(planet x) = V(earth) = √(2gR) = u0

So, the escape velocity on planet x is u0

Mass (kg) 4.0
densk [106]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we can find the acceleration the object by using Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma

where

F = 20.0 N is the net force applied on the object

m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

Solving for a, we find

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{20}{4}=5.0 m/s^2

Now we know that the motion of the object is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find its final velocity by using the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a=5.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 5 s is the time

By substituting,

v=0+(5.0)(5)=25 m/s

Que fuerza se obtendrá en el émbolo mayor de una prensa hidraúlica cuya área es de 167 cm2, cuando el émbolo menor de área igual
stiv31 [10]

Responder:

<h2>5.368N, </h2>

Explicación:

Según el principio pascal, establece que la presión aplicada en un punto sobre un líquido en un recipiente cerrado es igual a igual a la presión en cualquier otro punto del líquido.

Matemáticamente Presión ejercida por el pistón más pequeño = Presión ejercida por el pistón más grande.

La presión es la relación entre la fuerza y ​​su área de sección transversal.

P = Fuerza / Área de sección transversal

Sea P1 la presión sobre el pistón más pequeño y P2 la presión ejercida por el pistón más grande.

Como P1 = P2 entonces;

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

Dado F1 = 450N, A1 = 14 cm², A2 = 167 cm² y F2 =?

Sustituyendo el valor conocido en la fórmula para obtener el requerido, tenemos;

\frac{450}{14} = \frac{F2}{167}\\  \\Cross\ multiplying\\\\14*F_2 = 450*167\\\\14F_2 = 75,150\\\\F_2 = \frac{75,150}{14} \\\\F_2 = 5,367.9N

F_2 \approx 5, 368N

Por lo tanto, la fuerza que se obtendrá en el pistón más grande de una prensa hidráulica cuya área es de 167 cm² es aproximadamente 5,368N,

Two objects are electrically charged. The net charge on one object is doubled. Therefore, the electric force _____.
creativ13 [48]
If net charge on one object is doubled, then electric force will also get double. It is because they are directly proportional to each other.

Hope this helps!

A uniform disk with mass 35.2 kg and radius 0.200 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is stati
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) v = 1.01 m/s

b) a = 5.6 m/s²

Explanation:

a)

  • If the disk is initially at rest, and it is applied a constant force tangential to the rim, we can apply the following expression (that resembles Newton's 2nd law, applying to rigid bodies instead of point masses) as follows:

       \tau = I * \alpha  (1)

  • Where τ is the external torque applied to the body, I is the rotational inertia of the body regarding the axis of rotation, and α is the angular acceleration as a consequence of the torque.
  • Since the force is applied tangentially to the rim of the disk, it's perpendicular to the radius, so the torque can be calculated simply as follows:
  • τ = F*r (2)
  • For a solid uniform disk, the rotational inertia regarding an axle passing through its center  is just I = m*r²/2 (3).
  • Replacing (2) and (3) in (1), we can solve for α, as follows:

       \alpha = \frac{2*F}{m*r} = \frac{2*34.5N}{35.2kg*0.2m} = 9.8 rad/s2 (4)

  • Since the angular acceleration is constant, we can use the following kinematic equation:

        \omega_{f}^{2}  - \omega_{o}^{2} = 2*\Delta \theta * \alpha (5)

  • Prior to solve it, we need to convert the angle rotated from revs to radians, as follows:

       0.2 rev*\frac{2*\pi rad}{1 rev} = 1.3 rad (6)

  • Replacing (6) in (5), taking into account that ω₀ = 0 (due to the disk starts from rest), we can solve for ωf, as follows:

       \omega_{f} = \sqrt{2*\alpha *\Delta\theta} = \sqrt{2*1.3rad*9.8rad/s2} = 5.1 rad/sec (7)

  • Now, we know that there exists a fixed relationship the tangential speed and the angular speed, as follows:

        v = \omega * r (8)

  • where r is the radius of the circular movement. If we want to know the tangential speed of a point located on the rim of  the disk, r becomes the radius of the disk, 0.200 m.
  • Replacing this value and (7) in (8), we get:

       v= 5.1 rad/sec* 0.2 m = 1.01 m/s (9)

b)    

  • There exists a fixed relationship between the tangential and the angular acceleration in a circular movement, as follows:

       a_{t} = \alpha * r (9)

  • where r is the radius of the circular movement. In this case the point is located on the rim of the disk, so r becomes the radius of the disk.
  • Replacing this value and (4), in (9), we get:

       a_{t}  = 9.8 rad/s2 * 0.200 m = 1.96 m/s2 (10)

  • Now, the resultant acceleration of a point of the rim, in magnitude, is the vector sum of the tangential acceleration and the radial acceleration.
  • The radial acceleration is just the centripetal acceleration, that can be expressed as follows:

       a_{c} = \omega^{2} * r  (11)

  • Since we are asked to get the acceleration after the disk has rotated 0.2 rev, and we have just got the value of the angular speed after rotating this same angle, we can replace (7) in (11).
  • Since the point is located on the rim of the disk, r becomes simply the radius of the disk,, 0.200 m.
  • Replacing this value and (7) in (11) we get:

       a_{c} = \omega^{2} * r   = (5.1 rad/sec)^{2} * 0.200 m = 5.2 m/s2 (12)

  • The magnitude of the resultant acceleration will be simply the vector sum of the tangential and the radial acceleration.
  • Since both are perpendicular each other, we can find the resultant acceleration applying the Pythagorean Theorem to both perpendicular components, as follows:

       a = \sqrt{a_{t} ^{2} + a_{c} ^{2} } = \sqrt{(1.96m/s2)^{2} +(5.2m/s2)^{2} } = 5.6 m/s2 (13)
