Answer:

v = 7671.57 m/s

T = 1.55 hours

Explanation:

mass of Earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of earth, R = 6400 km = 6.4 x 10^6 m

height, h = 400 km

Velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

where, G be the universal gravitational constant.

G = 6.657 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}}{6800\times 10^{3}}}

v = 7671.57 m/s

Let T b the period

T=\frac{2\pi (R+h)}{v}

T=\frac{2\times 3.14(6800\times 1000)}{7671.57}

T = 5566.53 second

T = 1.55 hours

A flywheel of diameter 1.2 m has a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s2. the tangential acceleration of a point on its ri
vodka [1.7K]
We know that tangential acceleration is related with radius and angular acceleration according the following equation:  
at = r * aa  
where at is tangential acceleration (in m/s2), r is radius (in m) aa is angular acceleration (in rad/s2)  
So the radius is r = d/2 = 1.2/2 = 0.6 m  
Then at = 0.6 * 5 = 3 m/s2  
Tangential acceleration of a point on the flywheel rim is 3 m/s2

A base is a substance that's the chemical opposite of an acid.<br> True or false
anygoal [31]

True

Explanation:

A base is a substance that is often used as the chemical opposite of an acid.

Both behaves in opposite way to one another.

They can be said to complementary or conjugate chemicals.

  • According to Bronsted-Lowry  theory, an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor.
  • The lewis theory states that an acid is an electron pair acceptor while a base is an electron pair donor.
  • Acids turn blue litmus paper red and bases turns red litmus paper blue.

A 45 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.8 m/s just before hitting the ground.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

change  in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide  = mgh

= 45 x 9.8 x 11

= 4851 J

b )

kinetic energy of bear just before hitting the ground

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 45 x 5.8²

= 756.9 J

c ) If  the average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear be F

negative work done by friction

= F x 11 J

then ,

4851 J -  F x 11 =  756.9 J

F x 11 = 4851 J -   756.9 J

= 4094.1 J

F = 4094.1 / 11

= 372.2 N
