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

A rope of negligible mass passes over a uniform cylindrical pulley of 1.50kg massand 0.090m radius. The bearings of the pulley h
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of pulley, m3 = 1.5 kg

Radius of pulley, R = 0.09 m

mass of monkey, m2 = 4.5 kg

mass of banana bunch, m1 = 3 kg

Let a is teh acceleration ans T1 and T2 be the tension in the rope.

The moment of inertia of the pulley

I = 0.5 x m3 x R² = 0.5 x 1.5 x 0.09 x 0.09 = 0.006075 kgm²

According to Newton's second law

T1 - m1 g = m1 x a .... (1)

m2 g - T2 = m2 x a ..... (2)

(T2 - T1 ) x R = I x α    

where, α is the angular acceleration

α = a / R

(T2 - T1)R = 0.5 x m3 x R² x a / R

T2 - T1 = 0.5 x m3 x a ..... (3)  

from (1), (2) and (3)

a = \frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}+\frac{m_{3}}{2}}\times g

a = \frac{4.5-3}{3+4.5+0.75}\times 9.8

a = 1.78 m/s²

from equation (1)

T1 = m1 ( g + a) = 3 ( 9.8 + 1.78) = 34.77 N

from equation (2)

T2 = m2 (g - a) = 4.5 (9.8 - 1.78) = 36.13 N

How do Air molecules enable sound to travel from a radios speaker to your ears?
MatroZZZ [7]
The radio frequencies push one air molecule that then bumps into a different air molecule.....which then hits another and another causing a line of crashing molecules that lead inside your ear and hits your ear drum causing it to vibrate which causes the sounds.

if two point charges are separated by 1.5 cm and have charge values of 2.0 and -4.0, respectively, what is the value of the mutu
RUDIKE [14]

Complete question:

if two point charges are separated by 1.5 cm and have charge values of +2.0 and -4.0 μC, respectively, what is the value of the mutual force between them.

Answer:

The mutual force between the two point charges is 319.64 N

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two point charges, r = 1.5 cm = 1.5 x 10⁻² m

value of the charges, q₁ and q₂ = 2 μC and - μ4 C

Apply Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}

where;

F is the force of attraction between the two charges

|q₁| and |q₂| are the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two charges

k is Coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

F = \frac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{8.99*10^9 *4*10^{-6}*2*10^{-6}}{(1.5*10^{-2})^2} \\\\F = 319.64 \ N

Therefore, the mutual force between the two point charges is 319.64 N
