A space probe is directly between two moons of a planet. If it is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B, but the net for

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

c. Moon A is four times as massive as moon B

Explanation:

Let's assume the:

mass of the object = $m\,kilogram$

mass of the moon A = $M_A\,kilogram$

mass of the moon B = $M_B\,kilogram$

distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = $r\,meters$

According to the given condition the object is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B

∴distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = $2r\,meters$

As we know, gravitational force of attraction is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}$

According to the condition

Force on m due to $M_B=$ Force on m due to $M_A$

$G\frac{m.M_A}{(2r)^2} =G\frac{m.M_B}{(r)^2}$

$\frac{M_A}{4r^2} =\frac{M_B}{r^2}$

$M_A=4M_B$

A book falls off a shelf that is 10.0 m tall. What is the velocity at which the book hits the ground?

Elena L [17]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the book is a free fall motion, so it is an uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. Therefore we can find the final velocity by using the equation:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gd$

where

u = 0 is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

d = 10.0 m is the distance covered by the book

Substituting data, we find

$v=\sqrt{0^2 + 2(9.8 m/s^2)(10.0 m)}=14 m/s$

Helpp pleaseeeeee …..

Lilit [14]

Answer:

300 cos 30 = 40 a + 40 * .2 * 10

Total force = mass * acceleration + frictional force

260 = 40 a + 80

a = 180 / 40 = 4.5 m/s^2

Check:

15 a + 15 * 10 * .2 = T acceleration of 15 kg block (assuming a = 4.5)

T = 15 (4.5) + 30 = 97.5 force required to accelerate 15 kg block

260 - 97.5 = 162.5 net force on 25 kg block

162.5 = 4.5 (25) + 25 * 10 * .2

162.5 = 112.5 + 50 = 162.5

4.5 m/s^2 checks out as correct

24. An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a. The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m is

Wewaii [24]

Given :-

An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a.

To Find :-

The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m .

Solution :-

As the man is in a accelerated frame that is non inertial frame , we would have to think of a pseudo force .

The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .

For the FBD refer to the attachment . From that ,

$\implies Weight_{apparent}= mg + ma$

Hence option d is correct choice .

I hope this helps .
