A 5 kg object near Earth's surface is released from rest such that it falls a distance of 10 m. After the object falls 10 m, it

has a speed of 12 m/s. Which of the following correctly identifies whether the object-Earth system is open or closed and describes the net external force?
A. The system is closed, and the net external force is zero.
B. The system is open, and the net external force is zero.
C. The system is closed, and the net external force is nonzero.
D. The system is open, and the net external force is nonzero.

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of object $m=5 kg$

Distance traveled $h=10 m$

velocity acquired $v=12 m/s$

conserving Energy at the moment when object start falling and when it gains 12 m/s velocity

Initial Energy $=mgh=5\times 9.8\times 10=490 J$

Final Energy $=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+W_{f}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 12^2+W_{f}$

where $W_{f}$ is friction work if any

$490=360+W_{f}$

$W_{f}=130 J$

Since Friction is Present therefore it is a case of Open system and net external Force is zero

An open system is a system where exchange of energy and mass is allowed and Friction is acting on the object shows that system is Open .

A rock is thrown horizontally from a high building at 33.8 m/s. What is the magnitude of its velocity 4.25 s later?

Alex17521 [72]

<h2>Answer:53.63 $ms^{-2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

The equations of motion used in this question is $v=u+at$

When a object is projected horizontally from a sufficiently height,the x-component of acceleration remains zero because there is no force that drags the object in x direction.

But,due to gravity,the object accelerates downward at a rate of $9.8ms^{-2}$ .

In X-Direction,

Given that initial velocity= $u_{x}$ = $33.8ms^{-1}$

Using $v=u+at$ ,

$v_{x}=33.8+(0)4.25=33.8ms^{-1}$

In Y-Direction,

Given that initial velocity= $u_{x}$ = $0ms^{-1}$

Using $v=u+at$ ,

$v_{y}=0+(9.8)4.25=41.65ms^{-1}$

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}$

$v=\sqrt{1142.44+1734.72}=\sqrt{2877.163}=53.63ms^{-1}$

A 70.0 kg astronaut is training for accelerations that he will experience upon reentry. He is placed in a centrifuge (r = 15.0 m

Levart [38]

Answer:

1.3823 rad/s

20.7345 m/s

28.66129935 m/s²

$a=2.92164g$

2006.29095 N radially outward

Explanation:

r = Radius = 15 m

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Angular velocity is given by

$\omega=13.2\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1.3823\ rad/s$

Angular velocity is 1.3823 rad/s

Linear velocity is given by

$v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=15\times 1.3823\\\Rightarrow v=20.7345\ m/s$

The linear velocity is 20.7345 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=r\omega^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=15\times 1.3823^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=28.66129935\ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration is 28.66129935 m/s²

Acceleration in terms of g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{28.66129935}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=2.92164g$

$a=2.92164g$

Centripetal force is given by

$F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=70\times 28.66129935\\\Rightarrow F_c=2006.29095\ N$

The centripetal force is 2006.29095 N radially outward

The torque will be experienced when the centrifuge is speeding up of slowing down i.e., when it is accelerating and decelerating.

The core of the Sun has a temperature of 1.5 × 107 K, while the surface of the Sun has a temperature of 4870 K (which varies ove

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The Sun and planets are shown to the same scale. The small terrestrial planets and tiny Pluto are in the box---the Earth is the blue dot near the center of the box (montage created by Nick Strobel using NASA images).

Size

The Sun is by far the biggest thing in the solar system. From its angular size of about 0.5° and its distance of almost 150 million kilometers, its diameter is determined to be 1,392,000 kilometers. This is equal to 109 Earth diameters and almost 10 times the size of the largest planet, Jupiter. All of the planets orbit the Sun because of its enormous gravity. It has about 333,000 times the Earth's mass and is over 1,000 times as massive as Jupiter. It has so much mass that it is able to produce its own light. This feature is what distinguishes stars from planets.

Composition

What is the Sun made of? Spectroscopy shows that hydrogen makes up about 94% of the solar material, helium makes up about 6% of the Sun, and all the other elements make up just 0.13% (with oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen the three most abundant ``metals''---they make up 0.11%). In astronomy, any atom heavier than helium is called a ``metal'' atom. The Sun also has traces of neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, and iron. The percentages quoted here are by the relative number of atoms. If you use the percentage by mass, you find that hydrogen makes up 78.5% of the Sun's mass, helium 19.7%, oxygen 0.86%, carbon 0.4%, iron 0.14%, and the other elements are 0.54%.
