Answer:

a = 3.61[m/s^2]

Explanation:

To find this acceleration we must remember newton's second law which tells us that the total sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

In this case we have:

$F = m*a\\\\m=mass = 3.6[kg]\\F = force = 13[N]\\13 = 3.6*a\\a = 3.61[m/s^2]$

From the Newton’s First Law, we can see that acceleration is simply the ratio of Force over mass. In this case, mass is the sum of the mass of each car, that is:

mass = 2300 kg + 2500 kg = 4800 kg

So the formula is:

acceleration = Force / mass

acceleration = 18,000 N / 4800 kg

acceleration = 3.75 m/s^2

In 2 significant figures:

<span>acceleration = 3.8 m/s^2</span>

A person eats a container of strawberry yogurt. The Nutritional Facts label states that it contains 255 Calories (1 Calorie = 41

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

mass = 0.44 Kg

Explanation:

given,

Calories contain in the strawberry yogurt = 255 calories

1 Calorie = 4186 J

latent heat of vaporization = 2.42 x 10⁶ J/Kg

mass of perspiration = ?

Energy = 255 calories

Energy = 255 x 4186

= 1067430 J

Energy = mass x latent heat of vaporization

$mass = \dfrac{Q}{L_v}$

$mass = \dfrac{1067430}{2.42 \times 10^6}$

mass = 0.44 Kg

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 500. km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

a) v= 1732.05m/s

b) d=250000m

c) v= 1414.214m/s

Explanation:

Notation

M= mass of the asteroid

m= mass of the particle moving upward

R= radius

v= escape speed

G= Universal constant

h= distance above the the surface

Part a

For this part we can use the principle of conservation of energy. for the begin the initial potential energy for the asteroid would be $U_i =-\frac{GMm}{R}$ .

The initial kinetic energy would be $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ . The assumption here is that the particle escapes only if is infinetely far from the asteroid. And other assumption required is that the final potential and kinetic energy are both zero. Applying these we have:

$-\frac{GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0$ (1)

Dividing both sides by m and replacing $\frac{GM}{R}$ by $a_g R$

And the equation (1) becomes:

$-a_g R+\frac{1}{2} v^2=0$ (2)

If we solve for v we got this:

$v=\sqrt{2 a_g R}=\sqrt{2x3\frac{m}{s^2}x500000m}=1732.05m/s$

Part b

When we consider a particule at this surface at the starting point we have that:

$U_i=-\frac{GMm}{R}$

$K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Considering that the particle is at a distance h above the surface and then stops we have that:

$U_f=-\frac{GMm}{R+h}$

$K_f=0$

And the balance of energy would be:

$-\frac{GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =-\frac{GMm}{R+h}$

Dividing again both sides by m and replacing $\frac{GM}{R}$ by $a_g R^2$ we got:

$-a_g R+\frac{1}{2}v^2 =-\frac{a_g R^2}{R+h}$

If we solve for h we can follow the following steps:

$R+h=-\frac{a_g R^2}{-a_g R+\frac{1}{2}v^2}$

And subtracting R on both sides and multiplying by 2 in the fraction part and reordering terms:

$h=\frac{2a_g R^2}{2a_g R-v^2}-R$

Replacing:

$h=\frac{2x3\frac{m}{s^2}(500000m)^2}{2(3\frac{m}{s^2})(500000m)-(1000m/s)^2}- 500000m=250000m$

Part c

For this part we assume that the particle is a distance h above the surface at the begin and start with 0 velocity so then:

$U_i=-\frac{GMm}{R+h}$

$K_i=0$

And after the particle reach the asteroid we have this:

$U_f=-\frac{GMm}{R}$

$K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

So the balance of energy would be:

$-\frac{GMm}{R+h}=-\frac{GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Replacing again $a_g R^2$ instead of GM and dividing both sides by m we have:

$-\frac{a_g R^2}{R+h}=-a_g R+\frac{1}{2}v^2$

And solving for v:

$a_g R-\frac{a_g R^2}{R+h}=\frac{1}{2}v^2$

Multiplying both sides by two and taking square root:

$v=\sqrt{2a_g R-\frac{2a_g R^2}{R+h}}$

Replacing

$v=\sqrt{2(3\frac{m}{s^2})(500000m)-\frac{2(3\frac{m}{s^2}(500000m)^2}{500000+1000000m}}=1414.214m/s$
