The radius of Earth is about 6450 km. A 7070 N spacecraft travels away from Earth. What is the weight of the spacecraft at a hei
Triss [41]

Answer:

(a) 1767.43 N

(b) 182.45 N

Explanation:

Radius of earth, R = 6450 km

Weight of person, W = 7070 N

mass of person, m = W / g = 7070 / 9.8 = 721.4 kg

(a) h = 6450 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+6450} \right )^2

g' = g / 4 = 9.8 / 4 = 2.45 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g' = 721.4 x 2.45

W' = 1767.43 N

(b) h = 33700 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+33700} \right )^2

g' = g x 0.0258 = 9.8 x 0.0258 = 0.253 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g'

W' = 721.4 x 0.253

W' = 182.45 N

A boy is playing with a ball of mass 72g attached to a string. He is moving it at constant speed in a horizontal circle of radiu
irina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

radius of circle r = 0.9 m.

(a ) In a motion on circular path , work done is zero because force ( centripetal force ) acts perpendicular to displacement .

( b )

Tension in string T = m ω²r

Putting the values

60 = .072 x ω² x 0.9

ω² = 926

ω = 30.4 rad /s

angle made in 20 revolutions θ = 20 x 2π = 126.6 rad

time taken = θ / ω

= 126.6 / 30.4

= 4.16 s .

Help me quick!!! please!!
Rudik [331]

Answer:

39.240 W

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the work done by the engine. We can assume that it is the same work done by the weight of the object to bring it from 40m to the surface: as much energy it takes to bring it up, the same ammount it takes to bring it down. Said work is w= \vec F\cdot \vec{h} = mg h = 1000 \times 9.81\times 40 = 392.400 J

At this point we can simply apply the definition of power, that is P = \frac wt, to get the power of the engine is 39.240 W
