The average distance from Earth to the Moon is 384,000 km. In the late 1960s, astronauts reached the Moon in about 3 days. How f

ast (on average) must they have been traveling (in km/h) to cover this distance in this time? Compare this speed to the speed of a jet aircraft (800 km/h).

Answer:

They must have been traveling at 5333.33 km/h to cover that distance in 3 days.

That speed are 6,66 times higher than the speed of an aircraft jet.

Explanation:

d= 384000 km

t= 3 days = 3*24hr = 72hr

V= 384000km/72hr

V= 5333.33 km/h

comparison:

V1/V2= 5333.33/800

V1/V2= 6.66

Answer

given,                                                

Tension of string is F                                                  

velocity is increased and the radius is not changed.      

the string makes two complete revolutions every second

consider the centrifugal force acting on the stone          

  = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}                          

now centrifugal force is balanced by tension

T =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}                                

From the above expression we can clearly see that tension is directly proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to radius.

When radius is not changing velocity is increasing means tension will also increase in the string.

You have a bowling ball with a mass of 4kg. You throw it with an acceleration of 10 m/s/s. With how much force will it hit the p
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 40 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 4 kg

acceleration = 10 m/s²

So we have

force = 4 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>40 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
