Distance Speed Time Formula. Speed is a measure of how quickly an object moves from one place to another. It is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time. It is possible to find any of these three values using the other two.

Answer:

b) 3.72m/s²

c) 9.33*10^5

d) 9.33*10^5

e) 11.85 hrs

Explanation:

a) to confirm that gEarth is about 98 m/s².

Let's use the formula:

$gEarth= \frac{G*M}{R^2}$

$= \frac{6.67*10^-^1^1*5.972*10^2^4}{(6378*10^3)^2}$

= 9.78 m/s²

=> 9.8m/s²

b) Given:

$m = 6.417*10^2^3$

r = 2106 miles

$g_Mars = \frac{G*M}{R^2}$

$= \frac{6.67*10^-^1^1*6.417*10^2^3}{(2106*1.61*10^3)^2}$

=3.72 m/s²

c) we use:

$F = \frac{G*M*m}{R^2}$

$=\frac{6.67*10^-^1^1*5.972*10^2^4*1630*10^3}{((20000+6378)*10^3)^2}$

$= 9.33*10^5 N$

d) Let's take the force of gravitybon earth due to satellite as our answer in (c) because the Earth's gravitational force on a GPS satellite and the force of gravity on a GPS satellite on earth are equal and opposite (two mutual forces).

$F = 9.33*10^5 N$

e) In a circular motion,

Gravitional force = Centripetal force.

$\frac{GM*m}{R^2}=\frac{m*v^2}{R}$

$\frac{GM}{R}= v^2$

Solving for v, we have

$v= \sqrt{\frac{6*67*10^-^1^1*5.972*10^2^4}{(20000+6278)*10^3}}$

v = 3886m/s

Therefore,

v = 2πR/T

$3886 = \frac{2*pi*(20000+6378)*10^3}{T}$

Solving for T, we have:

T = 42650seconds

Convert T to hours

T = 42650/60*60

T = 11.86hrs

7. A stick of length L and mass M is hanging at rest from its top edge from a ceiling hinged at that point so that it is free to

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The distance from the top of the stick would be 2l/3

Explanation:

Let the impulse 'FΔt' acts as a distance 'x' from the hinge 'H'. Assume no impulsive reaction is generated at 'H'. Let the angular velocity of the rod about 'H' just after the applied impulse be 'W'. Also consider that the center of percussion is the point on a bean attached to a pivot where a perpendicular impact will produce no reactive shock at the pivot.

Applying impulse momentum theorem for linear momentum.

FΔt = m(Wl/2), since velocity of center of mass of rod = Wl/2

Similarly applying impulse momentum theorem per angular momentum about H

FΔt * x = I * W

Where FΔt * x represents the impulsive torque and I is the moment of inertia

F Δt.x = (ml² . W)/3

Substituting FΔt

M(Wl/2) * x = (ml². W)/3

1/x = 3/2l

x = 2l/3
