A rocket fires its engines to launch straight up from rest

What does a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse have in common

liraira [26]

During either one, the sun, moon, and Earth are lined up in the same straight line. The difference is whether the moon or the Earth is the one in the "middle".

Calculate the acceleration of gravity as a function of depth in the earth (assume it is a sphere). You may use an average densit

Ber [7]

Solution :

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth, g $=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\frac{G(4/3 \pi R^2 \rho)}{R^2}=G(4/3 \pi R \rho)$

Acceleration due to gravity at 1000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-1000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 822486 \times 10^{-8}$

$=0.822 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

= 8.23 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 2000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-2000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 673552 \times 10^{-8}$

$=0.673 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

= 6.73 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 3000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-3000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 3371 \times 153.86 \times 10^{-8}$

= 5.18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 4000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-4000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 153.84 \times 2371 \times 10^{-8}$

$=0.364 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

= 3.64 m/s

A bowling ball that has a radius of 11.0 cm and a mass of 5.00 kg rolls without slipping on a level lane at 2.80 rad/s.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bowling ball, m = 5 kg

Radius of the ball, r = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Angular velocity with which the ball rolls, $\omega=2.8\ rad/s$

To find,

The ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball.

Solution,

The translational kinetic energy of the ball is :

$K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}m(r\omega)^2$

$K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\times (0.11\times 2.8)^2$

The rotational kinetic energy of the ball is :

$K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}I \omega^2$

$K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\times \omega^2$

$K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\times 5\times (0.11)^2\times (2.8)^2$

Ratio of translational to the rotational kinetic energy as :

$\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}$

So, the ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball is 5:2
