Answer:

x=\dfrac{D}{1+\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{M}}}

Explanation:

Mass of moon = m

Mass of planet =M

We know that gravitational force given as

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

F'=G\dfrac{m'M}{x^2}

F=G\dfrac{m'm}{(D-x)^2}

Given that force is zero so

F=F'

G\dfrac{m'm}{(D-x)^2}=G\dfrac{m'M}{x^2}

\dfrac{m}{(D-x)^2}=\dfrac{M}{x^2}

\dfrac{x}{D-x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M}{m}}

\dfrac{D-x}{x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{M}}

x=\dfrac{D}{1+\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{M}}}

A bicyclist is initially traveling at 3 m/s. The bicyclist accelerates at 1 m/s2 for 5 seconds.
leonid [27]
The change in velocity is 5m/s which added to the initial 3m/s makes the final velocity 8m/s

Distance = (3*5) + (1/2*1*5^2)= 15+12.5= 27.5m

If the spring constant is doubled , what value does the period have for a mass on a spring?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

D. The period would decrease by sqrt (2)

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

where

m is the mass

k is the spring constant of the spring

If the spring constant is doubled,

k' = 2k

So the new period will be

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{(2k)}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}})=\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}

So the correct answer is

D. The period would decrease by sqrt (2)

A boat is heading across a river at a velocity of 25 mph. The river is flowing downstream at 10 mph. What is the actual velocity
AnnyKZ [126]
Principle: Pythagorean theorem

Given:
Let a = boat velocity = 25 miles per hour
      b = river velocity = 10 miles per hour

Required: c = actual velocity

Solution:
     
     c^2 = a^2 + b^2
     c^2 = (25)^2 + (10)^2
     c^2 = 725
     (c^2)^0.5 = (725)^0.5
      c = 26.93 miles per hour

<em>ANSWER: Actual boat velocity is 26.93 miles per hour</em>
