Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of a planet of mass M and radius R

a = G*M/R^2.

In this case we have:

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N (m/kg)^2

R = 2.32 x 10^7 m

M = 6.35 x 10^30 kg

Now we can compute:

a = (6.67*6.35/2.32^2)x10^(-11 + 30 - 2*7) m/s^2 = 786,907.32 m/s^2

The acceleration does not depend on the mass of the object.

Assume that an intercontinental ballistic missile goes from rest to a suborbital speed of 6.50 km/s in 60.0 s (the actual speed

olasank [31]

Answer:

Average acceleration is $(11.05)g\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity, u = 0

Final velocity, v = 6.5 km/s = 6500 m/s

Time taken, t = 60 s

Acceleration, $a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{6500\ m/s}{60}$

$a=108.33\ m/s^2$

Since, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

So, $a=(11.05)g\ m/s^2$

So, the angular acceleration of the missile is $(11.05)g\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A 0.20-kg object is attached to the end of an ideal horizontal spring that has a spring constant of 120 N/m. The simple harmonic

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

0.07756 m

Explanation:

Given mass of object =0.20 kg

spring constant = 120 n/m

maximum speed = 1.9 m/sec

We have to find the amplitude of the motion

We know that maximum speed of the object when it is in harmonic motion is given by $v_{max}=A\omega$ where A is amplitude and $\omega$ is angular velocity

Angular velocity is given by $\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ where k is spring constant and m is mass

So $v_{max}=A\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$A=V_{max}\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=1.9\times \sqrt{\frac{0.2}{120}}=0.07756 \ m$

hooke's law is described mathematically using the formula fsp=-kx. which statement is correct about spring force, fsp? A. It is

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A. It is always a positive force

Explanation:

Hooke's law describes the relation between an applied force and extension ability of an elastic material. The law states that provided the elastic limit, e, of a material is not exceeded, the force, F, applied is proportional to the extension, x, provided temperature is constant.

i.e F = - kx

where k is the constant of proportionality, and the minus sign implies that the force is a restoring force.

The applied force can either be compressing or stretching force.
