The spacecraft is orbiting at 2000 Km. The engine has to put it on 4000 km altitude, therefore the engine has to push it into another 2000 km, so that it will attain the 4000 km altitude.

Given. Gravitational pull of planet Mars g = 3.71 m/s²

            Mass of the spacecraft m = 5000 kg

Formula: W = fd   F = mg    

               W = mgh

               W = (5000 Kg)(3. 71 m/s²)(2 x 10⁶m)

               W = 3.71 x 10¹⁰ J

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.383. At what minimum rate wo
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

25.59 m/s²

Explanation:

Using the formula for  the force of static friction:

f_s = \mu_s N --- (1)

where;

f_s = static friction force

\mu_s = coefficient of static friction

N = normal force

Also, recall that:

F = mass × acceleration

Similarly, N = mg

here, due to min. acceleration of the car;

N = ma_{min}

From equation (1)

f_s = \mu_s ma_{min}

However, there is a need to balance the frictional force by using the force due to the car's acceleration between the quarter and the wall of the rocket.

Thus,

F = f_s

mg = \mu_s ma_{min}

a_{min} = \dfrac{mg }{ \mu_s m}

a_{min} = \dfrac{g }{ \mu_s }

where;

\mu_s = 0.383 and g = 9.8 m/s²

a_{min} = \dfrac{9.8 \ m/s^2 }{0.383 }

\mathbf{a_{min}= 25.59 \ m/s^2}

Please help me to solve this and give me the summary of answer

Using the principle of floatation.

u = w............(a)

Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.

Let the volume of the wood be V.

The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V

Formula for upthrust, u = vdg

where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity

weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity

From (a)

                     u = w

                 vdg =  mg      Cancel out g

                   vd  =  m
 
The v  is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.

d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³

         0.2V * 1000 =  m

           200V =  m

Hence the mass of the object is  200V  kg.

But Density of solid =  Mass of solid / Volume of solid

                                 =    200V / V

                                 =    200 kg/m³

Density of solid = 200 kg/m³

A weather balloon is filled to a volume of 6000 L while it is on the ground, at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 273 K.
avanturin [10]

Answer : The final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L

Solution :

Using combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 0.3 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 6000 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 273 K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 240 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

\frac{1atm\times 6000L}{273K}=\frac{0.3atm\times V_2}{240K}

V_2=17582.4L

Therefore, the final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L
