Dump Tower is 96 stories tall. A small, 1.2-kg object is dropped over the side of the roof of the tower and accelerates toward t

he ground. The mass of the planet housing Dump Tower is 2.7 times the mass of Ganymede and the radius of the body is 1.7 times the radius of Makemake. You will track the object for its entire fall. Each story of this tower is 3.05 meters tall.
How many seconds will it take the object to reach the ground and what will be its impact speed with the ground?

Answer:

6.0 s

98 m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the planet is much bigger than the height of the tower, so we will assume the acceleration is constant. Neglect air resistance.

Acceleration due to gravity on this planet is:

a = GM / r²

a = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) (2.7 × 1.48×10²³ kg) / (1.7 × 750,000 m)²

a = 16.4 m/s²

The height of the tower is:

Δy = 96 × 3.05 m

Δy = 293 m

Given v₀ = 0 m/s, find t and v.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(293 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (16.4 m/s²) t²

t = 6.0 s

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (16.4 m/s²) (293 m)

v = 98 m/s

Some element can be either solid or liquid. At the melting point, the liquid has 8 × 10-22 J more enthalpy per atom than the sol

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

481.76 J/mol

133.33 K

Explanation:

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}$

Change in enthalpy is given by

$\Delta H=8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=481.76\ J/mol$

Entropy is given by

$\Delta S=6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta S=3.6132\ J/mol K$

Latent heat of fusion is given by

$L_f=\Delta H\\\Rightarrow L_f=481.76\ J/mol$

The latent heat of fusion is 481.76 J/mol

Melting point is given by

$T_m=\dfrac{L_f}{\Delta S}\\\Rightarrow T_m=\dfrac{8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}{6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\Rightarrow T_f=133.33\ K$

Melting occurs at 133.33 K

During a solar eclipse, the Moon is positioned directly between Earth and the Sun. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational f

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

$F= 2.3733 x10^{20} N$

Explanation:

Let's define the variables to proceed with the operations,

So,

The masses

$M_ {sun} = 1.99 * 10^{30} Kg$

$M_ {Earth} = 5.98 * 10 ^ {24} Kg$

$M_ {Moon} = 7.36 * 10 ^{22} Kg$

Average distances

$\bar {x} _ {Sun \rightarrow Earth} = 1.5 * 10 ^ {11} m$

$\bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon} = 3.84 * 10 ^ 8m$

Gravitational constant

$G = 6.67 * 10^ {-11} \frac {Nm ^ 2} {kg ^ 2}$

The formula of the Gravitational Force between the Moon and the Earth would be,

$F = \frac {GM_ {Earth} M_ {Moon}} {(\bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon}) ^ 2}$

$F= \frac{(6.67*10^{-11} \frac{Nm^2}{kg^2})(5.98*10^{24}Kg)(7.36*10^{22}Kg)}{(3.84*10^8m)^2}$

$F = 1.9908 * 10 ^{20} N$

This force is in the direction of the earth.

We perform the same process but now between the Sun and the Moon, like this,

$F_2 = \frac {GM_ {Sun} M_ {Moon}} {(\bar {x} _ {Sun \rightarrow Earth} - \bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon}) ^ 2}$

$F_2 = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11} \frac{Nm^2}{kg^2})(1.99*10^{30}Kg)(7.36*10^{22}Kg)}{(1.5*10^{11}m-3.84*10^8m)^2}$

$F_2 = 4.3641*10^-{ 20} N$

This force is in the direction of the Sun

The net force must be

$F_ {net} = F_2-F$

$F_ {net} = 2.3733*10^{20} N$

This in the direction of the Sun.
