Answer:

g=0.20\ m/s^2    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the asteroid Ceres, m=6.797\times 10^{20}\ kg

Radius of the asteroid, r=472.9\ km=472.9\times 10^3\ m

The value of universal gravitational constant, G=6.67259\times 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2

We know that the expression for the acceleration due to gravity is given by :

g=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

g=\dfrac{6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times 6.797\times 10^{20}}{(472.9\times 10^3)^2}

g=0.20\ m/s^2

So, the value of acceleration due to gravity on that planet is 0.20\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 156 cm. The center of mass of the motorcycle, including the ri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a = 9.86 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

distance between the centers of wheel = 156 cm

center of mass of motorcycle including rider = 77.5 cm

horizontal acceleration of motor cycle = ?

now,

The moment created by the wheels must equal the moment created by gravity.

take moment about wheel as it touches the ground, here we will take horizontal distance between them.

then, take the moment around the center of mass. Since the force on the ground from the wheels is horizontal, we need the vertical distance.

now equating both the moment

m g d = F h

d is the horizontal distance

h is the vertical distance

m g d = m a h

term of mass get eliminated

g d = a h

so,

a = \dfrac{g\ d}{h}

a = \dfrac{9.8\times 0.78}{0.775}

a = 9.86 m/s²

A convex lens with a focal length of 10 cm is located 30 cm away from a
zloy xaker [14]

Answer: 15 cm

Explanation:

According to the Lens Equation we have the following:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} (1)

Where:

f=10 cm is the focal length

u=30 cm is the distance between the candle (the object) and the lens

v is the distance between the image and the lens

Isolating v:

v=\frac{uf}{u-f}} (2)

Solving:

v=\frac{(30 cm)(10 cm)}{30 cm-10 cm}} (3)

Finally:

v=15 cm This is where the image is located

A train pulls away from a station with a constant acceleration of 0.42 m/s2. A passenger arrives at a point next to the track 6.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

2.69 m/s

Explanation:

Hi!

First lets find the position of the train as a function of time as seen by the passenger when he arrives to the train station. For this state, the train is at a position x0 given by:

x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)*(6.4s)^2 = 8.6016 m

So, the position as a function of time is:

xT(t)=(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m

Now, if the passanger is moving at a constant velocity of V, his position as a fucntion of time is given by:

xP(t)=V*t

In order for the passenger to catch the train

xP(t)=xT(t)

(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m = V*t

To solve this equation for t we make use of the quadratic formula, which has real solutions whenever its determinat is grater than zero:

0≤ b^2-4*a*c = V^2 - 4 * ((1/2)(0.42m/s^2)) * 8.6016 m =V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2

This equation give us the minimum velocity the passenger must have in order to catch the train:

V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2 = 0

V^2 = 7.22534(m/s)^2

V = 2.6879 m/s

Which of the following correctly describes the importance of demonstrations to scientific investigation?
sergey [27]

Answer:

A- A demonstration shows how something works, often including models

Explanation:

A demonstration allows, through experimentation, to show how nature works and in that way can include the explanation of scientific theories that explain the set of observed facts, that is, it serves as a demonstration of the underlying scientific principles.
