Answer:

The height of the object is 5007.4 miles.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of object = 200 lb

We need to calculate the value of $Gmm_{e}$

Using formula of gravitational force

$F=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$200=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{(3958.756)^2}$

$200\times(3958.756)^2=Gmm_{e}$

$Gmm_{e}=3.134\times10^{9}$

We need to calculate the height of the object

Using formula of gravitational force

$F=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$125=\dfrac{200\times(3958.756)^2}{r^2}$

$r^2=\dfrac{200\times(3958.756)^2}{125}$

$r^2=25074798.5$

$r=\sqrt{25074798.5}$

$r=5007.4\ miles$

Hence. The height of the object is 5007.4 miles.

A compact disc (CD) stores music in a coded pattern of tiny pits 10−7m deep. The pits are arranged in a track that spirals outwa

andreev551 [17]

(a) 50 rad/s

The angular speed of the CD is related to the linear speed by:

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

v is the linear speed

r is the distance from the centre of the CD

When scanning the innermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 25.0 mm = 0.025 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

$\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.025 m}=50 rad/s$

(b) 21.6 rad/s

As in part a, the angular speed of the CD is given by

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}$

When scanning the outermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 58.0 mm = 0.058 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

$\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.058 m}=21.6 rad/s$

(c) 5550 m

The maximum playing time of the CD is

$t =74.0 min \cdot 60 s/min = 4,440 s$

And we know that the linear speed of the track is

v = 1.25 m/s

If the track were stretched out in a straight line, then we would have a uniform motion, therefore the total length of the track would be:

$d=vt=(1.25 m/s)(4,440 s)=5,550 m$

(d) $-6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2$

The angular acceleration of the CD is given by

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

where

$\omega_f = 21.6 rad/s$ is the final angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the outermost part)

$\omega_i = 50.0 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the innermost part)

$t=4440 s$ is the time elapsed

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\alpha=\frac{21.6 rad/s-50.0 rad/s}{4440 s}=-6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2$

We can model the human back as a pivoted rod?

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

So the answer is yes, we can the back be shaped like a spinning rod

spinal column that is approximated by a long and narrow rod,

Explanation:

The bone system of the body is very well modeled in physics, the back has a spinal column that is approximated by a long and narrow rod, this rod is fixed in the lower part to the coccyx and has a weight in the upper part (head), this rod has longitudinal vertical movement and twisting movement around the lower part of the bar.

So the answer is yes, we can the back be shaped like a spinning rod

A man lifts a 120 kg barbell 2 m above the ground . What is the gain in gravitational PE of the barbell?

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

2,352 Joules

Explanation:

At the ground, the barbell has a classical mechanical energy value of zero. There is no classical kinetic or potential energy for the barbell. The moment the man starts to lift the barbell, he does work on the barbell and transfers kinetic energy to it due to the motion. At its maximum height where the man lifts the barbell to a stop, the kinetic energy is zero because it transformed into gravitational potential energy stored in the gravitational field. Our reference point for potential was defined to be zero at the floor, therefore we can say that the gravitational potential energy at 2 meters is:

$U=mgh=(120kg)(9.8m/s^2)(2m)=2,352J$
