A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km

away. The radar antenna is pointing upward at an angle of 58.9° above the ground. Find (a) the x and (b) the y components (in km) of the position vector of the satellite, relative to the antenna.

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects having mass m₁ and m₂ at a distance R

F = G m₁ m₂ / R²

Force between baby and father F₁ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 4.1 x 120 / .18²

= 1.01 x 10⁻⁶ N

b )

Force between baby and Jupiter

F₂ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 1.9x 10²⁷ x 4.1 / ( 6.29 x 10¹¹ )²

= 1.31 x 10⁻⁶  N

c )

Ratio = 1.01 / 1.31

= .77

A car on a freeway speeds up to get around another car. The car speeds up from 20 m/s to 35 m/s in 5 seconds.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

Explanation:

Directly from the information given:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

A 500 N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area
Ghella [55]

Answer:

d. 10000N

Explanation:

When a force (F_1) is exerted on the smaller area piston (A_1), the pressure that originates therein is transmitted to the larger area piston(A_2). According to Pascal's principle the pressure on the smallest piston (P_1=\frac{F_1}{A_1}) will be equal to the pressure on the largest piston (P_2=\frac{F_2}{A_2}):

\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}\\F_2=F_1\frac{A_2}{A_1}\\F_2=500N\frac{40cm}{2cm}\\F_2=10000N

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Acceleration of the second particle at that moment is given as

a_2 = 2.12 m/s^2

Explanation:

As we know that both cars are connected by same spring

So on this system of two cars there is no external force

So we will have

F = 0 = m_1a_1 + m_2a_2

now we have

m_1 = 0.200 kg

m_2 = 0.250 kg

a_1 = 2.65 m/s^2

now we have

0.200(2.65) + 0.250a_2 = 0

so we have

a_2 = 2.12 m/s^2
